KETA SCHOOL BOYS (DRIED ANCHOVIES) STEW

‘Keta School Boys’ are sun dried salted Anchovies; commonly used amongst the Ewe tribe from Ghana.

The salted, dried Anchovies are usually dry roasted and had with the ever popular spicy Ghanaian Salsa (known as Raw Pepper) with a hot steamed milled corn dumpling called Akple.

Interestingly dried Anchovies are also used amongst the Thai and Vietnamese.

Dried Anchovies are readily available online, at specialist African and or Asian grocers. 

This spicy umami flavoured stew when infused with Coconut oil introduces a rather unique nutty flavour to the new recipe.
