    Shito - Ghana's Black Pepper Sauce

    Shito is a popular Ghanaian spicy


    black pepper sauce which is
    basically a condiment. Unlike
    other Ghanaian dishes which can
    be associated with a particular
    tribe, shito can't be. I actually
    don't know how this spicy
    nutritious sauce originated but I
    won't be surprised if it was
    invented out of necessity. Shito
    is a form of a preserved stew

    Shito - Ghana's Black
    Always start with enough oil and add more if required along the Pepper Sauce
    stages.
    ►  July (2)
    METHOD:
    ►  June (5)

    1. Clean, cut up and blend together ginger, onions, garlic, and cloves. Do ►  May (4)
    not use water to blend the mixture, if required use oil during ►  March (2)
    blending.
    ►  February (3)

      

    2. Using a deep pot, heat up the oil until very hot. This is the best time
    to recycle any used oil which has been used to fry meat. Using this
    flavour infused oil adds to the flavour of the shito. To add a bit more
    flavour to the oil, add a bay leave to the oil whilst it’s heating up. 

    3. Add the blended onion mixture. Be careful during this stage as it foams
    and rises up to the top of the pot. That is why a deep pot is required.
    Another tip is to lower the heat and stir continuously whilst pouring
    the blended mixture. However be careful as the steam emanating from the
    mixture is very hot. 

      
    4. Leave the pot uncovered and let the mixture simmer down. Stir now and
    then to prevent it from burning. Let the mixture simmer until the
    mixture looks like breadcrumbs and there is no water, i.e the bubbles
    have reduced in size.

    5. Now add the tomato paste and stir until well incorporated. Let it stew
    until again it looks like bread crumbs and bubbles have reduced in
    size. Stir continuously at this stage to prevent burning. 
    6. Add the powdered cayenne pepper and stir. Let it stew for about 5
    minutes.

    7. Now add the fish powder, stir continuously whilst adding the powder. 

      

    8. Follow with the shrimp powder and also stir continuously to prevent a
    lumpy shito.

      

    9. After stage 8 if the shito is heavy and there is not enough oil, add a
    bit more oil to loosen it up.

    10. Now add the all purpose spice, crayfish powder, Maggie cubes and then
    the salt to taste. Stir well and let it stew for 5 minutes. Lower the
    heat if required and stir continuously to prevent it from burning. 

      

    11. Remove from the hob and let it cool down.


    12. Sterilise bottles including the lids by pouring hot boiled water in the
    jars. Let it sit in the hot water bath for 10 minutes, then drain and
    dry with kitchen towels.
    13. Now bottle the shito, if still hot let it cool down before closing with
    the lid.
    14. Store in a cool dry place or refrigerate.

    15. Use as a condiment to add flavour to any dish!
