ƐTɔ
It is known as “OTƆ” and “ƐTƆ” amongst the Gas and the Akans respectively.
Yam
The main ingredients use to prepare “Ɛtɔ” are Unripe plantain, Full or Half Ripe plantain, Cocoyam
and Yam. Ɛtɔ, prepared from both ripe and unripe plantain or half ripe plantain is called KƆKƆƆ-TƆ. In
the same way, Ɛtɔ from yam and cocoyam are Bayere-tɔ and mankani-tɔ respectively.
Green plantain alone can be used to prepare ɛtɔ . This is known as ‘Bordie-tɔ’ or ‘SIBAA’. Ɛtɔ
prepared from roasted cocoyam is also called SASA or OGOR. The yam and the plantain can equally
be roasted and use to prepare the Ɛtɔ.
There is a special type of ɛtɔ known as APOTOSU. Unripe and almost ripe plantains are used. They
are roasted and mashed with grounded pepper with its accompaniment. After oil is added, water is
also added and mixed. The content is then put on fire, in earthenware, for the water to boil off.
Salted fish (koobi) or Stinging fish (momoni) may be used to enhance the flavor. Koobi/momoni
should be cooked by roasting or frying in the palm oil before grinding with the other ingredients.
Some people can add okro (boiled or roasted) to it. Again, in the absence of groundnut, dried cocoa
beans can be used to improve the protein content of the food. Groundnut paste could be added to
the pepper instead of roasted groundnut.

Recipe #93: Akple (corn and cassava dough)
In July I discussed cassava (yucca, manioc) dough, and began describing how to make it--at least as
far as grating the peeled cassava and pressing it to drain it for 2 or 3 days. Today's post follows up on
that. After 3 days, you will have a dry, tightly pressed together clump of cassava. I added a cup of
water to a blender, and blended the cassava to a dough/paste. That is what I'm using today. (I had
several cups of dough, and have the rest stored it in the freezer). A photo at that previous blog
posting shows the Ewe answer to banku: akple. Once one has the cassava dough, it is simple to
make. I decided akple would go well with the yesterday's garden egg stew, so only made a small
amount since I'm home alone this week. You might want to try this small recipe first, and if you like
it, increase the recipe next time you make it.
Recipe #93: Akple (cooked corn and cassava dough)
The proportions for making akpleare 1/3 of cassava dough to 2/3rds corn dough. It is my
understanding that akple is made from unfermented corndough.I used
1/2 cup of cassava dough
1 cup of corn dough
To make the corn dough, I put a cup of white Indian Head cornmeal in a blender to make it a little
finer (optional), then mixed it in a bowl with a teaspoon of cornstarch (also optional) to make a
slightly smoother dough, then mixed 1/2 cup of water into it. (NOTE: the photo shows the cassava
dough on the left and the corn dough on the right.
Mix together the 2 doughs in a saucepan with a half cup of water to get a smooth creamy
mixture, and add a little salt (I used
~1/4 teaspoon). A nice heavy wooden spoon or stick works well.
Put the mixture on the stove on a medium heat and stir it as it heats, adding another half
cup of water all at once and continue stirring until it forms a solid mass (about 10-15
minutes). Do not allow the dough to become lumpy or scorch on the bottom. Turn it as you
stir.
When the mixture becomes fairly solid and no longer "wet" looking, take a calabash (or
bowl), wet it thoroughly and put a spoonful of the dough into the calabash, shaking it
vigorously and rolling the dough inside into a circle or oval shape.
Originally, akple was eaten mainly with fetri ma or fetridetsi, but now it goes well with other dishes,
such as fried fish with pepper sauce or shito, or palaver sauce. As I said, I'm enjoying mine with
garden egg stew.
AgusiFrowee (melon seed) Stew with Fish
I have referred several times in the past to nutritious, delicious agushi(aka agusi, agushie, egusi)
seeds.Today's recipe is a classic stew that combines the seeds with fish. There are, of course, other
versions using meat or poultry, but this is my favorite.
I'm posting 2 versions of the same recipe: one
is a richer, more nuanced, and expensive version. It uses salted cod, smoked fish, real agusiseeds,
fresh tomatoes and peppers and palm oil; the other, is faster, cheaper, and lighter and uses canned
tomatoes, canned fish, dried pepper, pumpkin seeds, and peanut (or canola) oil. Take your pick, or
combine elements of each in your preferred version. The green seeds in the photo below are the
pumpkin seeds, the white ones the agushi seeds
Let's begin with the slightly more complicated, fancier one.
Recipe #70: AgusiFrowee (melon seed) Stew with Fish
Version 1: Assemble ingredients
4 ozagushiseeds (about a cup), ground or unground
7-8 ounces of smoked fish (I'm using smoked whiting today), after bones and skin are
removed
2 good-sized ripe tomatoes (plus a Tablespoon of tomato paste if you like)
1/2 cup (4 ounces) of palm oil (dzomiif available)
a small piece of salted cod (about an inch cube, about 1/3 of an ounce), or koobi(salted
tilapia)
1 large onion (about a cup, chopped)
fresh red pepper to taste
Prepare the ingredients:
1. If the agushi is not ground, grind it in a blender. Mix it with a cup of water and set aside
until later.
2. To remove some of the salt, I rinse and soak the salted fish in hot water while I prepare the
other ingredients.
3. If the fish has bones and skin remove them and discard.
4. Peel and chop the onion.
5. Prepare the pepper and garlic (I grind mine together in a blender with about a Tablespoon of
water). You will need to judge your preference for heat. You can always adjust the heat later
by adding more ground dried red pepper later.
6. Chop the tomatoes (if you want to be extra fancy, peel and seed them first--drop in scalding
water, then cold, to remove the peelings, and grind them in a blender). Mix in a Tablespoon
of tomato paste if you like.
7. Heat a heavy frying pan on the stove top, add the oil and chopped onions, stir well, then add
the salted fish.
8. Fry together on medium heat for several minutes, then add the pepper and garlic and cook a
couple more minutes, then add the tomatoes and tomato paste.
9. Stir in the smoked fish.
10. Stir the agushi to see that all of the lumps are gone.
11. Stir the agushi-water mixture into the stew, lower the heat, then cover and allow it to
simmer, without stirring, for half an hour.
12. The cooked agushi will look a little like scrambled eggs.
13. If you're like me, go ahead and skim off any oil that has risen to the top (or just stir it back
into the stew) and check the seasonings. Add some dried red pepper if it isn't spicy enough
for you. I cannot imagine it needing more salt, but add some if you must.
This stew goes well with rice, ampesi (plain boiled starchy vegetables like yam, potatoes, plantains,
banku, or kenkey. (Note: You can search Betumiblog for recipes for bankuand kenkey).
Here is the second, lighter, cheaper, and faster version:
Version 2
Assemble the ingredients:
In place of the smoked fish, substitute a 15 oz can of mackerel
In place of the agushi substitute raw pumpkin seeds
In place of the fresh tomatoes, substitute tomato puree (a cup), OR 2 or 3 Tablespoons of
tomato paste mixed with a little water OR a small can of tomato sauce
simply slice, rather than chop, the onions
Do not bother soaking the salt fish
In place of the palm oil, substitute any white oil like canola or peanut of safflower (I avoid
olive oil because of its distinctive flavor) and reduce the amount to 1/4 cup (2 oz)
In place of the fresh hot peppers, substitute dried ground red pepper to taste (about 3/4
teaspoon to begin)
Omit the garlic
Follow the same basic steps as above, omitting any steps unnecessary due to using already
processed ingredients: grind the pumpkin seeds, mix with a cup of water in a small bowl, chop the
onion, open the can of mackerel. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the onion and
salt fish. Cook a few minutes, then add the tomato puree (or paste, sauce), cook a couple more
minutes, then add the canned fish and dried red pepper. Stir the water-pumpkin seed mixture into
the stew, lower heat and cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes without stirring.

  • 11. ƐTɔ It is known as “OTƆ” and “ƐTƆ” amongst the Gas and the Akans respectively. Yam The main ingredients use to prepare “Ɛtɔ” are Unripe plantain, Full or Half Ripe plantain, Cocoyam and Yam. Ɛtɔ, prepared from both ripe and unripe plantain or half ripe plantain is called KƆKƆƆ-TƆ. In the same way, Ɛtɔ from yam and cocoyam are Bayere-tɔ and mankani-tɔ respectively. Green plantain alone can be used to prepare ɛtɔ . This is known as ‘Bordie-tɔ’ or ‘SIBAA’. Ɛtɔ prepared from roasted cocoyam is also called SASA or OGOR. The yam and the plantain can equally be roasted and use to prepare the Ɛtɔ. There is a special type of ɛtɔ known as APOTOSU. Unripe and almost ripe plantains are used. They are roasted and mashed with grounded pepper with its accompaniment. After oil is added, water is also added and mixed. The content is then put on fire, in earthenware, for the water to boil off. Salted fish (koobi) or Stinging fish (momoni) may be used to enhance the flavor. Koobi/momoni should be cooked by roasting or frying in the palm oil before grinding with the other ingredients. Some people can add okro (boiled or roasted) to it. Again, in the absence of groundnut, dried cocoa beans can be used to improve the protein content of the food. Groundnut paste could be added to the pepper instead of roasted groundnut. 1. KƆKƆƆ-TƆ a. Ripe Plantain and Unripe Plantain @ 1:2 ratio

  • 14. Recipe #93: Akple (corn and cassava dough) In July I discussed cassava (yucca, manioc) dough, and began describing how to make it--at least as far as grating the peeled cassava and pressing it to drain it for 2 or 3 days. Today's post follows up on that. After 3 days, you will have a dry, tightly pressed together clump of cassava. I added a cup of water to a blender, and blended the cassava to a dough/paste. That is what I'm using today. (I had several cups of dough, and have the rest stored it in the freezer). A photo at that previous blog posting shows the Ewe answer to banku: akple. Once one has the cassava dough, it is simple to make. I decided akple would go well with the yesterday's garden egg stew, so only made a small amount since I'm home alone this week. You might want to try this small recipe first, and if you like it, increase the recipe next time you make it. Recipe #93: Akple (cooked corn and cassava dough) The proportions for making akpleare 1/3 of cassava dough to 2/3rds corn dough. It is my understanding that akple is made from unfermented corndough.I used 1/2 cup of cassava dough 1 cup of corn dough
  • 15. To make the corn dough, I put a cup of white Indian Head cornmeal in a blender to make it a little finer (optional), then mixed it in a bowl with a teaspoon of cornstarch (also optional) to make a slightly smoother dough, then mixed 1/2 cup of water into it. (NOTE: the photo shows the cassava dough on the left and the corn dough on the right. Mix together the 2 doughs in a saucepan with a half cup of water to get a smooth creamy mixture, and add a little salt (I used ~1/4 teaspoon). A nice heavy wooden spoon or stick works well. Put the mixture on the stove on a medium heat and stir it as it heats, adding another half cup of water all at once and continue stirring until it forms a solid mass (about 10-15 minutes). Do not allow the dough to become lumpy or scorch on the bottom. Turn it as you stir. When the mixture becomes fairly solid and no longer "wet" looking, take a calabash (or bowl), wet it thoroughly and put a spoonful of the dough into the calabash, shaking it vigorously and rolling the dough inside into a circle or oval shape. Originally, akple was eaten mainly with fetri ma or fetridetsi, but now it goes well with other dishes, such as fried fish with pepper sauce or shito, or palaver sauce. As I said, I'm enjoying mine with garden egg stew.
  • 16. AgusiFrowee (melon seed) Stew with Fish I have referred several times in the past to nutritious, delicious agushi(aka agusi, agushie, egusi) seeds.Today's recipe is a classic stew that combines the seeds with fish. There are, of course, other versions using meat or poultry, but this is my favorite. I'm posting 2 versions of the same recipe: one is a richer, more nuanced, and expensive version. It uses salted cod, smoked fish, real agusiseeds, fresh tomatoes and peppers and palm oil; the other, is faster, cheaper, and lighter and uses canned tomatoes, canned fish, dried pepper, pumpkin seeds, and peanut (or canola) oil. Take your pick, or combine elements of each in your preferred version. The green seeds in the photo below are the pumpkin seeds, the white ones the agushi seeds
  • 17. Let's begin with the slightly more complicated, fancier one. Recipe #70: AgusiFrowee (melon seed) Stew with Fish Version 1: Assemble ingredients 4 ozagushiseeds (about a cup), ground or unground 7-8 ounces of smoked fish (I'm using smoked whiting today), after bones and skin are removed 2 good-sized ripe tomatoes (plus a Tablespoon of tomato paste if you like) 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of palm oil (dzomiif available) a small piece of salted cod (about an inch cube, about 1/3 of an ounce), or koobi(salted tilapia) 1 large onion (about a cup, chopped) fresh red pepper to taste
  • 18. Prepare the ingredients: 1. If the agushi is not ground, grind it in a blender. Mix it with a cup of water and set aside until later. 2. To remove some of the salt, I rinse and soak the salted fish in hot water while I prepare the other ingredients. 3. If the fish has bones and skin remove them and discard. 4. Peel and chop the onion. 5. Prepare the pepper and garlic (I grind mine together in a blender with about a Tablespoon of water). You will need to judge your preference for heat. You can always adjust the heat later by adding more ground dried red pepper later. 6. Chop the tomatoes (if you want to be extra fancy, peel and seed them first--drop in scalding water, then cold, to remove the peelings, and grind them in a blender). Mix in a Tablespoon of tomato paste if you like. 7. Heat a heavy frying pan on the stove top, add the oil and chopped onions, stir well, then add the salted fish. 8. Fry together on medium heat for several minutes, then add the pepper and garlic and cook a couple more minutes, then add the tomatoes and tomato paste. 9. Stir in the smoked fish. 10. Stir the agushi to see that all of the lumps are gone. 11. Stir the agushi-water mixture into the stew, lower the heat, then cover and allow it to simmer, without stirring, for half an hour. 12. The cooked agushi will look a little like scrambled eggs. 13. If you're like me, go ahead and skim off any oil that has risen to the top (or just stir it back into the stew) and check the seasonings. Add some dried red pepper if it isn't spicy enough for you. I cannot imagine it needing more salt, but add some if you must. This stew goes well with rice, ampesi (plain boiled starchy vegetables like yam, potatoes, plantains, banku, or kenkey. (Note: You can search Betumiblog for recipes for bankuand kenkey).
  • 19. Here is the second, lighter, cheaper, and faster version: Version 2 Assemble the ingredients: In place of the smoked fish, substitute a 15 oz can of mackerel In place of the agushi substitute raw pumpkin seeds In place of the fresh tomatoes, substitute tomato puree (a cup), OR 2 or 3 Tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with a little water OR a small can of tomato sauce simply slice, rather than chop, the onions Do not bother soaking the salt fish In place of the palm oil, substitute any white oil like canola or peanut of safflower (I avoid olive oil because of its distinctive flavor) and reduce the amount to 1/4 cup (2 oz) In place of the fresh hot peppers, substitute dried ground red pepper to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon to begin) Omit the garlic Follow the same basic steps as above, omitting any steps unnecessary due to using already processed ingredients: grind the pumpkin seeds, mix with a cup of water in a small bowl, chop the onion, open the can of mackerel. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the onion and salt fish. Cook a few minutes, then add the tomato puree (or paste, sauce), cook a couple more minutes, then add the canned fish and dried red pepper. Stir the water-pumpkin seed mixture into the stew, lower heat and cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes without stirring.
