Chef's Notes
The Story Behind Ngali Nut Stew
Ngali nuts (Canarium species) are an indigenous food of the Solomon Islands that has no equivalent elsewhere. These oily, protein-rich nuts were a crucial part of the traditional diet.
Stewing them with coconut milk and greens creates a uniquely Solomon Islander dish.
Ngali nut harvesting and preparation are important cultural traditions passed through generations.
