Gabon chocolate is an astringent flavouring made by grinding wild mango (ogbono) kernels whilst heating.
Ingredients:
1.4kg beef, sliced into bite-sized pieces (typically oxtail is used, but shin works well)
4 tbsp (heaped)
Gabon chocolate (ground and heated wild mango kernels)
250ml red palm oil
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp ground and dried prawns (crawfish)
salt and cayenne pepper, to taste
Method:
Add the meat to a pot, cover and dry fry until the meat releases its liquid and this liquid evaporates away.
Remove the meat then heat half the oil in the pot. When hot add the tomatoes, onion and ground prawns. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly then return the meat to the pot.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and stir in the Gabon chocolate. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently then lower the heat, cover the pan and cook for 60 minutes.
When the meat is tender and cooked through, turn the Gabon chocolate mixture into a mortar and pound to a smooth paste then stir into the meat mixture. Bring back to a simmer and cook until the sauce reaches the desired thickness.
Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper and serve with fufu or pounded yam.
