Waiting for a cook
Lesotho
Nyekoe is a thick Basotho stew of sorghum grain, beans and pumpkin cooked together until the pot is soft and porridge-like, seasoned with little more than salt and a spoon of fat. It is sold by street vendors in the cold months and eaten hot or cold, on its own or beside meat. It sits next to likhobe as one of the two great sorghum-and-bean pots of Lesotho, the difference being the pumpkin.
The draft was written from 4 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
