Onunu

What we know so far

Onunu is the Ijaw and Kalabari wedding dish of Rivers State: yam and very ripe plantain boiled together, pounded into one smooth yellow mass with red palm oil, and moulded into balls. Unlike other swallows you chew it, not swallow it, and it is served with a light, spicy fresh-fish stew, or with fisherman soup, native soup or pepper soup. A mortar and pestle is traditional; a food processor does the job today.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
