Light Soup for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Light Soup for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The subtly sweet from plantain profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced kontomire cocoyam leaves used that way before.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. I explained the a Ghanaian restaurant abroad context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Malt Guinness was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
