Originally from northern Congo, Likouala pepper, also known as “Ashandi pepper”, is harvested by the Baakas tribe. Ashanti pepper grows in the wild on vines which creep up more than 20 metres high. Outstanding lingering taste. Used in the traditional Congolese dish: “Ashanti grilled chicken”.
This confit is made from fresh mangoes and white Penja pepper.
It can be enjoyed with game, with cooked cheeses (Emmental, Comté …) or with a tasty toast of foie gras.
Umeboshi plums, or Japanese apricots have a very distinct acidic taste. Sesame with Umeboshi plums will enchant your salads, seasonings or simply a bowl of rice. You can even just eat the seeds on their own they are so delicious !
