Ndole – The National Food of Cameroon

When you want to communicate your feelings for someone, cook them some Ekwang. That is, whether the person is aware of what Ekwang is. Ndole - An aromatic Cameroonian spinach stew comprised of spinach and bitter leaves that is spiced with garlic, crayfish, and shrimp and meat. It is a delicious blend of peanuts, bitter greens (spinach can be substituted), flesh (stock fish, shrimp, crayfish (dry shrimp), and oil. It has the flavor of stewed spinach dip, but it's even better! It can be made in a variety of ways using fragrant spices and meat, with more or fewer vegetables and meat depending on personal preference.

The Ndole leaves may impart a little bitter flavor, while the presence of peanuts may impart a nutty flavor. A slew of spices, on the other hand, would give it a searing flavor.
