West African Meat Pastry Bites 2 is cooked the way West African home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a west african family cook actually puts it on the table.

West African Meat Pastry Bites 2 are a staple of many home tables, capturing the essence of everyday cooking across the region. Crafted with hand-measured salt and a generous use of fat, these pastries reflect the intuitive nature of West African cuisine.
