Waiting for a cook
Cameroon
Njangsa sauce is a creamy, nutty Cameroonian stew thickened with ground njangsa, the small orange oil seeds of the Ricinodendron tree (njansang, djangsang; okhuen in Nigeria, wama in Ghana). The seeds are blended with tomato, onion, garlic, ginger and the Cameroonian "green spices" (parsley, basil, leek or spring onion), simmered with fish or chicken, and served over rice, boiled plantains or white yam. Njangsa has a strong, particular taste, so cooks use it with a light hand.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 13 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
