Craving authentic Nigerian flavour can often lead to the desire for Mangala Dry Fish. Luckily, "Cooking With Ivey" has shared an easy method to prepare it. By washing, cutting, and soaking the fish in hot water for five minutes with a bit of salt, you can achieve the perfect texture.
Following this, the fish is rinsed, seasoned with more salt, and coated in red oil to bring a rich colour and taste. The addition of liquid smoke provides a smoky flavour, enhancing the traditional taste. Baking completes the process, delivering a smoky and flavourful delight.
