ABOLO OR ABLO RECIPE

Abolo or Ablo is a gluten free sweet and slightly sour, steamed dumpling which is popular amongst the Ewes of Ghana, Togo, Côte D’Ivoire and Benin. 

Abolo is made with Corn and Rice flour, Sugar, Baking powder and yeast. 

It’s best enjoyed with a spicy Tomato Salsa (known as raw pepper), and fried tiny white baits known as ‘One Man thousand’.

Steaming the Ablo or Abolo in a banana leaf, will require a thicker mixture, hence add the extra dry ingredients, as per the instructions below.

This is an easy to follow recipe and a must try. You can enjoy the Abolo with Ademe dessi, Shito, Okro soup etc.
