"East End Bistro opened in Accra in 2020 with the mission to showcase African cuisine from across all regions. When I was tasked to create the menu for the restaurant, owners Kofi Maafe and Keith Edem wanted a signature dish that was both craveable and handheld. After some trial and error and trying out famous African spice blends, we landed on East African berbere to carry the flavor for an umami-forward wings dish."
"Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it's paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you've ever had. They're perfect to serve as an appetizer or as part of a platter of snacks for a large group."
East End Bistro opened in Accra in 2020 to showcase African cuisine from all regions. Owners Kofi Maafe and Keith Edem sought a craveable, handheld signature dish for the menu. The chosen dish uses East African berbere, an umami-forward spice blend. Berbere combines spicy chiles with floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom. Pairing the spice with a honey glaze creates a distinctive sweet-spicy profile that elevates the wings. The wings function well as an appetizer or as part of a snack platter for large groups.
