    In Ghana 🇬🇭 this is banku. I couldn't figure out why it tasted familiar when I went to Ghana. I asked for the ingredients and it was okra, corn 🌽 meal and fish on the side. Just like in Barbados 🇧🇧!

    Thanks for this recipe, I just made it (with some modifications to substitute ingredients I don't have). Where I live the corn meal is white, and you have to buy polenta if you want yellow corn meal, so I used what I had... and also I didn't have pimentos (not even sure I know what that is - the stuff inside stuffed olives?) so I used red sweet peppers instead. I didn't have coconut milk, just a tin of coconut cream, so I used that can and just added 'n 3rd tin of water to the mix to make it more milk like. I added garlic and some chilli salt for a little bite and I must say it looks and smells beautiful. I'm going to serve it up with the "braai" aka BBQ we are having later today and I might make a tomato relish sauce to dip the coo coo in, or I might just eat it as is with the meat.
    I'm so glad I finally know what to do with the okra I get at the shops and then throw away when they go bad. This is so easy and fits right in to our regular meals... It's going to be delish!

  • @Rosejazjai
    @Rosejazjai 3 года назад +5

    My 2cents on the Corn Cou Cou spelling is has follows, it's spelt with the 'U' because our French influence cou by itself in French means neck but together cou cou is also a way of saying 'hello.' This dish is yellow, vibrant, speckled with many bright colours and coupled with the taste...it is definitely saying 'Hello!".
