Mali cuisine at La Boqueria

"Els dilluns de La Boqueria" is an activity by La Boqueria market (obviously) to make sellers and customers be close showing what can be found at the market and its culinary potentials.
It started with Keita Mady, a "pagès" that brings to Plaça de Sant Galdric (the place were there farmers sell their products) what he grows at Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat.



In addition to usual products at Catalan cuisine, Keita offers products from Asia and america cusisines grown by himself... what is known as Km. 0.



To show the chances in cuisine of a product from his birth country, Mali, Keita and Laia (his wife, who gave very valuable information from a biology point of view) cooked okra with onion...



... and Maffe Tiga, a delicious chicken stewed in peanut sauce.





It worth to taste okra, winning to the fear caused by generating a slimy substance (because it is rich in mucilage). A very common product in Africa (also in Asia and America) with benefits for diabetics.



And visit Keita at "pagès" market at La Boqueria (at Pl. Sant Galdric), because he will be offering exotic products for us but grown very close to home.
