The Main Dishes

I love to eat, and lucky me with the multiples Etnies in my country, there are a lot of different dishes to enjoy. Here I will share with you some of my favorite dishes. Most of them are eaten with rice, but sometimes can be eaten with a cereal called Fonio or a sort of paste made with Mais or Mil

My Number one Favorite: Kansiyé

This dish is made out of peanut butter and you usually eat it with rice.
The sauce can be made with chicken, meat or fish

The Leaves Sauce

We have three variations of this dish. You can make it out of  sweet potato leaves, cassava leaves or even spinach

Spinach sauce

Sweet Potato Leaves sauce

The Ocra Sauce

This dish can be eaten with rice or with a powder made with cassava powder.

I usually do not eat this dish, only if my mum makes it :)

The Tomato sauce

This dish can be make with any meat ( but beef is the best for this), chicken and  most of the time with a smoked catfish called Konkoe 

KonkoeTouré gbeli 

We also have desert such as :

Kabissé, made with little round bowl of mil and milk

And our favorite drinks are

A sweetened drink made out of dry Hibiscus flower and flavored with fruits essences, sometimes extract of vanilla.

A cold ginger juice. My mum usually add fresh pineaple to hers and other fruit essences

I try to share with you the main dishes, the common ones, but we have so many more, such as a soup made with all the tubercules we have, fried sweet potatoes with baked fish etc..

I am glad I live with my mother and that thank to all the African Marke we have here in New York, even though I am away from my country, I get to eat most of those dishes,

Also, you can find a lot of Guinean restaurants serving those dishes here in New Yor in case you want to try here are some of these dishes.
