\nMy astute dining buddy once again managed to unearth a restaurant that features a cuisine not well represented around these parts, that of Burkina Faso. As is typical of many West African restaurants, Burkindi\u2019s menu is rather optimistic in that they don\u2019t always have every item promised, but in my experience, the electives are generally hearty and tasty.<\/p>\n

[1] In our quest for a Burkinab\u00e9 specialty, we landed on T\u00f4, a starch-based porridge a little like a thin fufu that\u2019s swirled into a stew prepared from okra or a leafy vegetable. In this case we were offered Babenda, bitter greens with the addition of dried fish and soumbala, a paste made from fermented n\u00e9r\u00e9 seeds (locust beans) \u2013 think West Africa\u2019s answer to miso. I have some in powdered form: it\u2019s pungent but not overwhelming.<\/p>\n

[2] The other dish was more familiar from Ghanaian cuisine: Sauce Arachide (peanut butter soup) with remarkably tender chunks of lamb, rice on the side.<\/p>\n

Burkindi Restaurant is located at 492 Clinton Ave, Newark, New Jersey.
