GAMBIAN DOMODA WITH FRIED SOLE

MAIN COURSE — SERVES 4

PREPARATION 5 MINUTES — COOKING 50 MINUTES

Domoda is the Gambian version of a dish that you will find throughout Africa south of the Sahara. It’s a stew with a peanut sauce and is made with vegetables and usually either meat or fish, but here in Brufut, they make domoda with sole. In Holland we can easily make the same dish using peanut butter. Sole is a funny fish. Take a close look and you’ll see it’s a bit odd. Sole is a flatfish, like turbot and plaice, and lives on the seabed, hidden under a thin layer of sand, ready to pounce on its prey. Flatfish were ordinary-looking fish that somewhere in the distant evolutionary past learned to swim on their side (lying as flat as possible on the seabed). In the process one eye slid over to join the eye on the other side to become the top of the sole. The two eyes protrude above the sand side by side and alert to prey, while the sole’s mouth and stomach did not move positions and remain on what is now the underside, giving the fish its peculiar appearance.
