Nkuir sauce.


"Nkuir" iI a Cameroonian meal mostly cooked in the West region of Cameroon, known as the "Bamilékés". It's one of their very important traditional dishes. 

It is mostly cooked for breastfeeding mothers. It is believed that Nkuir helps in the fluidity of breast milk and also cleans a woman's womb of there birth.

Other people dislike it because of its brownish coloration and also because of its flaccid nature.

But I can assure you that this meal is very good in taste and for our health.

This sauce is often eaten with "Corn fufu or fufu corn" and mostly accompanied by fried vegetables in separated dishes. Some add fried fish and meat.

Ingredients and Method of preparation.

Nkuir branches (2 meters)
Condiments of nkuir 2(10 tablespoons)
- Water (3 liters of water)
- Salt.

 
Preparation;

- Warm about 2 liters of water.

- Wash the branches with cold water and remove their backs from the stick. Attached the stalk you remove from the branches as packets or fold it  and place it in a fat pot.

 Then add 1.5 liters of the warm water in the same pot. Close it for about 15 minutes, for the slippery substance to be produced. 

- With the use of your hand, you will extract more of the slippery substance from the stalk, by pressing it continuously in the warm water. When the colour of the water change to brown and gets very flaccid, you remove the stalk and it will mark the end of the extraction.



- Using your right hand or any, bit the substance vigorously while adding the condiments one after the other. Lastly, you add the amount of salt you want. Continue hitting the substance until it becomes homogeneous.



This is all about the sauce.
