About Chere
Access Gambia’s Cherreh serves steamed millet balls with a beef-and-vegetable sauce. This named Gambian version includes dried fish and fresh peanuts, rather than treating the millet as a stand-alone milk dessert.
Peanuts add a nutty richness around the beef, dried fish, onion and peppers. Spinach and okra form part of the sauce, with salt, pepper and stock cubes providing its seasoning.
The beef is simmered until tender and the sauce reduces before the greens and sliced peppers join it. The finished sauce is served over the prepared Cherreh, keeping the millet as the base of the meal.
