Just as Cajuns have the holy trinity of bell pepper, onion and celery, West Africans have the holy trinity of chili pepper, ginger and onion.
In many homes, this blend is used as a base to season stews, soups and vegetables, or used as marinades for meats, seafood, or poultry. Often supplemented with salt and other seasonings and herbs, meals are not complete without this spicy blend.
Our founder was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa to a farmer-father who taught her to how blend the West African holy trinity, and to layer flavors while cooking.
Developed without any MSG, Sugar and Preservatives, the award winning POKS Spices Seasonings are versatile for use in many applications. All it takes is a sprinkle here and there to give your meals that extra kick!
Spicy West African Chicken Recipe
If there is one thing West Africans love when it comes to their food, it is spicy heat. However, just as they love spicy heat, they equally love flavor.
