Calulu de Peixe
Angolan fresh-and-dried-fish calulú with sweet potato and palm oil.
About Calulu de Peixe
Felicia Sampaio’s Angolan calulú combines fresh and dried fish with sweet potato in a palm-oil broth. This version selects goraz and dried corvina, with cooked spinach among the separate accompaniments.
Tomato and thinly sliced onion flavour the broth, while crushed gindungo brings chilli heat. Dried fish adds a cured savoury note alongside the fresh fish, and sweet potato provides a contrasting vegetable sweetness.
The fish appears in slices and pieces with substantial sweet-potato cubes. The dish is presented in a tureen, accompanied by spinach, farinha-de-pau and a cassava-flour funge supplied within the same recipe.
