Poulet Nyembwe

Gabon

What we know so far

Poulet nyembwe is Gabon's national dish: smoked chicken cooked in nyembwe, the thick red pulp pressed from boiled palm nuts, with onion, garlic and chilli. Nyembwe means palm oil in Myene. The sauce is the same family as Congo's moambe and Nigeria's banga, but the Gabonese version is plain and smoky: smoked chicken, palm pulp, onion, garlic, sometimes bay leaf, and in some homes sorrel leaves, okra and crayfish powder. Eaten with white rice, fried plantain, steamed plantain, cassava or pounded yam.
