Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Coconut chips are the school-gate and market snack of the Nigerian coast: fresh coconut grated or sliced thin, tossed with a little sugar and toasted in a dry pan until the flakes brown and crisp in their own oil. Nothing else goes in. Sold in small nylon bags, they are eaten by the handful or scattered over pap, oats, tapioca or a bowl of soaked garri as a sweetener. The sliced version, toasted without sugar, is the plainer, crunchier cousin.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 2 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
