Instructions 

For the Kwacoco

  • First, wash the banana leaves and place them in hot (not boiling) water for about 5 minutes, then dry them thoroughly and set them aside
  • Peel the macadamia tubers with a vegetable peeler, wash them well and grate them into a dough using a fine-grained kitchen grater
  • Mix the dough well and add a little water as needed (depending on the consistency of the tubers) and mix well
  • Take the prepared bananas, rub them with a little oil so that the dough doesn't stick later, then place some dough onto the banana leaves, carefully roll in the direction of the leaf lines and fold or tie both ends.
  • Place the wrapped dough in a pot of water with a steamer insert and steam for approximately 45 minutes. Add more water as needed

For the sauce blanche

  • Heat cooking oil in a pot, add finely chopped onion and garlic, season with salt and sauté for about 2 minutes
  • Add the ground peanuts and a little water. Mix everything well and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes
  • Meanwhile, put the okra, ginger, onion, garlic, manjanga and some water into a blender and blend together
  • Now add the chicken leg and chili peppers and simmer for another 10 minutes. Then, finally, add the pureed okra mixture, stir well, and simmer for another 10 minutes. After that, add the Magic Sauce and season to taste
  • Remove the cooked kwacoco from the leaves, arrange it on a plate with the finished sauce and enjoy
