Ingredients
- 200 g kossa-kossa (dried shrimp)
- 2 onions, sliced
- 3 tomatoes, crushed
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp palm oil
- 1 small chili
- Salt and water
Method
- 01 Rinse then soak the shrimp for 30 minutes. Drain.
- 02 Sweat onions and garlic in the oil. Add tomatoes and chili.
- 03 Add the shrimp and a little water. Simmer 25 minutes.
- 04 Taste before salting: dried shrimp are already salty and iodised.
- 05 Serve with rice, chikwangue or plantain.
Kossa-kossa brings a concentrated sea taste. Quality at the market is read in colour and smell more than in size.
