Today, variations of Benachin can be found across West Africa and beyond, each family adding their unique twist, reflecting local ingredients and personal tastes.
fish
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: chicken
Tofu provides a vegetarian option while chicken is often more affordable.
vegetable oil
🥗Healthier: olive oil
💰Cheaper: sunflower oil
Olive oil is healthier, while sunflower oil is usually less expensive.
green peas
🥗Healthier: edamame
💰Cheaper: frozen peas
Edamame offers a protein boost, while frozen peas are budget-friendly.
bay leaves
💰Cheaper: dried herbs
Dried herbs can provide similar flavor without needing fresh bay leaves.
Blend 1 onion, a bunch of spring onions, 1 stick of celery, 1 teaspoon of dill, lots of fresh tomatoes, 10 cloves of garlic, some green pepper, and some parsley to create the base for the banishing.
Add locust beans, cloves, and Negro pepper (jarti) to the blend.
Add 1 teaspoon of curry, some thyme, and 1 cut of fresh candy (without seeds) towards the end when adding the rice.
Boil the onions with water instead of frying them first to cook them down.
Add the meat to the blended mixture and let it cook in the blend water before frying it with the onions.
Bake the banishing in a cast iron pot at 350°F for 20 minutes, covered tightly with foil to trap steam.
Ensure the rice is covered by the soup base before baking, with just enough liquid to cover the rice grains.
Use about 1 cup of oil, adding a little more when sautéing the onions if needed.
