How I make Cameroonian Njangsa/Akpi Sauce in the Diaspora with Turkey Wings everytime.

njangsa seeds

🥗Healthier: ground nuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Ground nuts provide a similar nutty flavor and texture.

palm oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil is healthier while still offering richness.

fish

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while canned tuna is budget-friendly.

meat

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner, while pork is often less expensive.

Add fresh tomatoes to a blender.

Add a lot of onions to the blender.

Add njangsa seeds to the blender.

Add a little bit of water to help the blender blades.

Blend until smooth.

Prepare turkey wings that have been cured and washed.

Pour the blended mix into a bowl and rinse the blender with water, adding it back to the bowl.

Season the mix with ginger and garlic paste, or blend fresh ginger and garlic if preferred.

Add salt to taste.

Add white pepper, ensuring not to miss it.

Add seasoning powder and black pepper.

Add a pinch of African nutmeg and stir well.

Set the mixture aside and prepare fresh herbs (basil, parsley, green onion).

Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat.

Sauté onions in the pot until fragrant.

Add the blended mix to the pot and stir everything together.

Add some of the fresh herbs to the pot and save some for later garnish.

Cover the pot and let it cook until the turkey wings are fully cooked and tender, checking and adding water as needed to prevent burning.

Garnish with remaining fresh herbs and serve.
