Fakoye

Northern Malian dried-corète-leaf stew with mutton, shea butter, soumbala and dried fish.

About Fakoye

Oumy presents this fakoye as a traditional preparation from northern Mali. Powdered dried corète leaves give the mutton stew its distinctive leafy character, with shea butter supplying richness.

Soumbala and dried fish contribute savoury depth. Date purée brings sweetness alongside tomato and onion, while garlic, cumin, anise and the source's named regional seasonings provide aroma.

The meat sits within the dark, concentrated leafy sauce. This is Oumy's mutton-and-shea-butter rendition, with the dried leaves and rich sauce defining the presentation around the pieces of meat.
