Let's make Gari Piñon which originates from the Ewe tribe in both Ghana and Togo of West Africa.

Gari (which is enjoyed in Ghana, Togo and Nigeria) is made from grated fermented Cassava/Yuca and dry fried to achieve a coarse texture. Gari can be enjoyed in either a sweet or savoury way and its quick to prepare.

This savoury Gari Piñon can be made with our Koobi Seasoning or Anchovies (Abobi) Seasoning blend.

1 large Red Onion

3 tablespoonfuls of Organic Cold Pressed Coconut oil

1 tablespoonful of Tomato Puree

1 medium sized diced Green Pepper

METHOD
