About Caldou
Amina Savoura’s caldou au bissap is a Casamance fish dish served with rice. The fish cooks gently in an onion broth, with chopped bissap added to its soup-like sauce.
Peanut oil carries the onion flavour, while salt and pepper season the fish and broth. Local hot peppers are included, and bouillon cubes are offered as an optional addition.
The fish is blanched rather than fried before the broth simmers. The finished fish and its soup-like sauce are served with rice cooked separately in salted water.
