Writer Alex Haley was born in Ithaca, New York but his family had roots in the small town of Henning, Tennessee. In the book Roots, Alex Haley traced his family history back to the 1750s Mande village of Juffure. Mande speakers (identified in the primary sources used here as Mandingo and Mandinka) lived in the geographic area of the present-day countries of Burkina Faso, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and Ghana, among others. The Mande developed distinctive dishes through cooking alternative sources of protein like beetles and grasshoppers during lean times. After the rains and harvest came, the Mande diet changed drastically with villagers feasting on meat three times a day until they completed the harvest. I found a description of a group of Mandingos that served a guest an Arab dish called kibbeh which is a ball or torpedo-shaped fried croquette stuffed with minced beef or lamb. “So delicious did I find it,” writes traveler Theodore Canot, “that, even at this distance of time, my mouth waters when I remember the forced meat balls of mutton, minced with roasted ground nuts, that I devoured that night in the Mandingo town of Kya.” Muslim traders from North Africa must have introduced Kibbeh to the Mande people who incorporated it into their West African foodways. West Africans during the slave trade and later Arab immigrants introduced Kibbeh to Brazilian foodways. Here are some Kibbeh ball recipes one traditional the other vegan, enjoy!
