About Akoumé

Adeosun presents akoumé as a classic staple and side dish in Togolese cooking. This maize-flour version forms a substantial paste from flour and water, accompanied by a beef sauce.

The simple cereal base leaves room for the flavours of its accompanying sauce. Its maize character sits alongside the savoury beef component in this selected serving.

The finished paste is thick and cohesive, coming away from the pan before presentation in small shaped portions. These portions provide a firm base for the sauce on the plate.
