Kenkey (Dokono)
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mmori (Fermented cornmeal mixture)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Dried corn husk
- water for steaming
Instructions
- Take 3 cups of the mmori and mix with 2 cups of water
- Cook the mixture over the stovetop until it becomes a thick doughy consistency. It should look almost translucent. Remove from heat.
- Add the remaining 1 cup of raw mmori and mix it with the cooked mmori.
- In a separate bowl submerge and soak corn husk in water for 5 minutes
- Take about 1 cup of the mmori mixture and form into kenkey balls. Wrap in corn husk and tuck the remaining husk into the center of the ball mixture. *If you don't have corn husk you may use cling film and aluminum foil.
- Stack the kenkey into a medium-sized pot or dutch oven and fill with water till it reaches midway into the pot. Cover and steam over a medium fire for approximately 1 hour.
- Allow the kenkey cool and serve
