Ndambé

Method

1. 1

   Fry onion and garlic, add tomato paste, and cook until dark.

2. 2

   Add sweet potato and water; simmer 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the beans and scotch bonnet and stew 20 minutes until thick, mashing some beans.

4. 4

   Split warm baguettes, ladle the ndambé in generously, and press shut for ten seconds.

   💡 The bread must soak a little — a dry ndambé sandwich is a missed opportunity.
