Konkoé

A Guinean smoked-fish stew with tomato, eggplant, palm oil and alliums.

About Konkoé

Konkoé is a Guinean stew centred on smoked fish. This eggplant-and-tomato rendition combines the fish with palm oil, garlic, onion and onion leaves, giving the sauce a rich savoury base.

The smoked fish contributes a pronounced aroma, while eggplant gives the sauce a softer body. Tomatoes and peppers add another layer of flavour around the pieces of fish.

It is a saucy dish that can accompany rice. The fish pieces remain a visible part of the bowl, surrounded by the vegetable mixture.
