FINGER LICKING NKWOBI

Do It Yourself
 

When the serving waitress brought my order, nkwobi, served in the typical container of a small mortar, garnished with ringed onions and utazi leaves (gongronema latifolium) and steaming hot, the aroma filled the atmosphere and assaulted my senses pleasantly of course. I swallowed gulps of saliva in quick succession and couldn't wait to dig in.
I'm not sure if it is the taste, aroma, unique serving container or even the cool ambiance of my favorite joint but there is just something about nkwobi that makes one so excited. Why do you love this delicacy?

A TOAST TO YOU

HOW TO DO

 


Fayrouz Non-Alcoholic Cocktail
SERVES 1
“The color of our Fayrouz Non-Alcoholic Cocktail reminds me of the color of the sand in the desert and the coral in the sea. Many palm trees are indeed growing on the shoreline of the Red Sea and some carry coconuts while others have dates. We use them to make some of our local non-alcoholic signature drinks, such as the Fayrouz.”

Ingredients:
3 tbsp (43 g) of sopya (coconut powder)
7 oz (200 ml) milk
10 mint leaves, plus 2 more for garnish
Coconut shavings
Crushed ice
Method:
1. Mix all ingredients in a blender and serve in a double martini glass over crushed ice.
2. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and coconut shavings.
