Notes from the kitchen
- Flake smoked salmon gently so large tender pieces remain visible throughout the dish.
- Avoid overcooking cabbage so it retains a pleasant tender bite.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Ghanaian; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
