Fish and Chips |
Fish and chips, the signature English dish that I
became obsessed with during my second year at university. In today’s post I
decided to put a West African twist to this dish making a hot pepper sauce to
compliment the fish. Sierra Leone has vast variety of fresh water and deep sea fishes
that locals enjoy on a daily basis. Whether it’s fried or grilled, with a side
of the hot pepper sauce garnished with lemon or lime wedge, fish can be have
with plantains, chips, rice and salads. Like most of my dishes, today’s post is
quick and easy to prepare. I hope you enjoy reading and hopefully try out the
recipe. Aprons on!!!
