Description

Pinton Sardinelle Paste – 380g

Pinton sardinella paste – 380g – is a key ingredient in West African cuisine. Especially in Senegalese, Ivorian and Guinean dishes. It is prepared from fermented sardinella, also called “pinton”, carefully reduced to a paste to obtain an intense, rich and tasty seasoning. Highly concentrated, this paste is used in small quantities to enhance the taste of traditional dishes.

Its powerful taste gives a unique identity to many preparations such as mafé, thiebou dieune (rice with fish). But also yassa or leafy vegetable sauces. Simply add a small spoon to your sauce at the beginning of cooking and the flavors slowly diffuse and envelop the entire dish.

Pinton sardinella paste is also a great way to enrich fish and meat broths or marinades. Thanks to its high umami content, it naturally enhances the taste without the need to add too much salt or extra spices. It sometimes replaces dried fish or industrial cubes in traditional recipes.

The 380 g format is perfect for regular family use. Once opened, it can be kept for several weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight jar. It is a staple product to always have on hand to find the flavors of West Africa, even outside the continent.
