Gboma Dessi

(Sauce feuille)

Gboma dessi is a hearty, traditional dish from Togo that usually combines beef and spinach, though other types of meat may also be used. Diced meat is browned and slowly stewed alongside tomatoes, garlic, onions, ginger, chili peppers, and gbotemi spice blend, which usually incorporates cloves, anise, cardamom, and ajwain seeds.


Boiled spinach is added last, and the dish is typically served alongside rice or traditional ablo or akoumé dumplings.
