Footi can be best described as a flavorful stew abundant in aubergines and tomatoes. It closely resembles a chili and could be alternatively referred to as "Chilli con Berenjena." This recipe is entirely plant-based, emphasizing a generous amount of vegetables while incorporating beans for a natural protein boost. Traditionally, this delectable dish is served by pouring it over rice. However, you can also enjoy it alongside a Guinean swallow called fufu.

Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles, and sauté for a few minutes.
