Ingredient appreciation — what makes Kelewele special

What sets Kelewele apart is the handling of palm nut. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the smoky and warming result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. The a market jollof rice stall atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had sobolo sorrel drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Kelewele is the place to start.
