Sierra Leonean food
Cassava leaf pounded fine and cooked slowly with palm oil and fish or beef, groundnut stew, and rice at every meal. Sierra Leonean cooking is greener and earthier than its neighbours.
Cassava leaf is the dish to try first. It looks unremarkable and tastes like nothing else on this list.
