Waiting for a cook
Cameroon · North-West and South-West (Bakweri, Bakossi and grassfield kitchens)
Mpuh fish is fish cooked in a thick, pale sauce made from plantain flour: unripe plantain dried and ground, whisked with water, njangsa (a nutty Cameroonian seed), onion, garlic, bush pepper and hot pepper. The fish steaks cook in the paste until it thickens around them, or the whole mixture is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed into a firm pudding. It is a dish of the English-speaking west of Cameroon, eaten with boiled plantain or on its own.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
