Fonctionnalité Premium
Grilled Tilapia in Ghana features a harmonious blend of smoky, spicy, and savory flavors.
The fish is typically marinated in a mixture of ginger, garlic, chili peppers (such as scotch bonnets), onions, and various local spices before grilling. This creates a flavorful crust with a tender and flaky interior. The accompanying Banku, made from fermented corn and cassava dough, offers a slightly sour and tangy counterpoint to the spicy fish. Other accompaniments, like shito (a spicy pepper sauce) or grilled vegetables, add further layers of complexity.
Fonctionnalité Premium
Scoring the Fish
Scoring the sides of the fish allows the marinade to penetrate deeper and helps the fish cook more evenly.
Grilling Temperature
Use medium heat to prevent the fish from burning on the outside before it's cooked through. A grill basket can also help prevent sticking.
Marinating Time
Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (up to a few hours) in the refrigerator, for maximum flavor absorption.
Serving Suggestions
Serve grilled tilapia immediately for the best flavor and texture. Accompany with banku, shito, grilled vegetables, or a side salad.
