    CAMEROON NDOLE RECIPE
    Hello, friends! This is a super-quick post. It is the video recipe for my Ndole recipe which can be found here in detail. Ndole is the traditional meal of the Douala people of Cameroon. It consists of blanched blended groundnuts, simmered with green leafy vegetables. It is oniony, hearty and nutty. It serves as a great side to boiled plantains, white yam and even rice. Find a printable recipe right after the video, specially made for you. Enjoy!

    Ndole Recipe
    by Precious Meshi Nkeih (www.preciouscore.com) July-16-2016
    Ndole originates from the Littoral region of Cameroon. It is the perfect culinary combination of groundnuts (peanuts)and green leafy vegetables (bitterleaf).

    • 5 cloves peeled garlic
    • 1 inch peeled ginger root
    • 1 and a half Crayfish seasoning cube(maggi crevette)
    • 1 large onion
    • 1 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 hot (habanero) pepper
    • A quarter teaspoon salt
    • a quarter cup crayfish

Add to boiling meat and give that a good mix. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.5. Now add your vegetables to the simmering groundnut mixture. Stir well. Add in crayfish and crayfish seasoning cube. Stir and let that simmer together for about 10 minutes. Stir from time to time to avoid burns. Taste to ensure seasoning is perfect.6.

      It kinda looks like egusi soup from Nigeria. Would this be like groundnut or peanut soup that I've heard about?

      This is actually different from groundnut soup, Berry. Groundnut soup is plain, brown in colour and creamy with no added vegetables.
