Native Spaghetti is what happens when Nigerian soup technique meets Italian pasta. Instead of a tomato sauce spooned over the top, the spaghetti is cooked directly in a seasoned palm oil broth with pepper, onion, crayfish and leafy greens, so the strands take their colour and flavour from the pot itself.
The taste is savoury, smoky and peppery, closer to a one pot rice dish than to anything Italian. This plate comes with chicken, which balances the spice nicely.
Medium heat as standard. Order online in Kigali from Jollof Bistro and pick delivery or collection from the Remera kitchen.
