Fermentation for Flavor
To make Kenkey, maize (corn) grains are soaked for several days to soften them. Then, the maize is milled to create a fine dough. This dough is left to ferment for a period of one to several days. During this time, naturally occurring microorganisms ferment the dough, giving it its sour taste.
Cooking Instructions:
- Mix cornmeal and water in a large bowl until you get a smooth, thick dough.
- Let the mixture ferment in a cool, dark place for several hours or overnight.
- Shape the dough into balls or loaves and wrap them in plantain or corn leaves.
- Steam or boil the wrapped kenkey portions until they are fully cooked.
