Corn & Cassava-Leaf Stew · Southern Cameroon

Sangah

🍲
Photo coming soon

Sangah gets all its richness from pounded palm nut pulp itself, rather than added palm oil, so the cassava-leaf stew is naturally thick without a drop of extra oil.

Cassava leaves are boiled and mashed, then cooked down with maize and palm nut juice into a thick, dark green stew, typically spooned over rice or boiled plantain.

Why it's made this way: It's a staple of the southern and central regions around Yaoundé, a hearty way to use cassava leaves left over once the tubers themselves are harvested.
