Grilled Tilapia with Fresh Shito (Ghana’s Hot Salsa)
This is a favourite in Ghana, grilled Tilapia and fresh shito. 'Shito' in Ghana is a word for saying pepper. This dish is so simple in every way. The flavour comes purely from the actual ingredients, whole Tilapia with its river flavour, which I would call earthy, and the fresh shito which tastes divine with kpakpo shito or scotch bonnet. In my recipe today however, I have taken a short cut and gone straight for dried chilli flakes as my heat.
