A huge thank you to Patti Sloley for sharing her fusion recipe for Ghanaian Kelewele with us. A popular snack in Ghana sold on every street corner, the spiced chopped plantain is traditionally spiced with hot pepper and ginger then fried. Patti has given us her fusion recipe, seasoned with Zahtar, ginger and chilli then baked which is her preferred cooking method for Kelewele.
