Omena in groundnut sauce
From the kitchen of Silas Omondi's crew, Mbita
Small dried fish, big flavour. Fry them until they crackle, then let them settle into a groundnut sauce.
Method
- 01
Rinse the omena quickly in cold water and drain well — they should not sit wet.
- 02
Dry-fry them in a hot pan until they smell toasted, about four minutes.
- 03
Set aside. Fry onion and tomato down to a paste in the same pan.
- 04
Add loosened groundnut paste and a cup of water, then return the omena.
- 05
Simmer ten minutes without stirring too hard, or the fish will break up.
