For her moment in the spotlight Rohi chose to take on two dishes - a rich, satisfying Lamb and Flageolet Bean Stew spied with green cardamon and ginger as well as a hearty chicken and rice dish called Bennachin flavoured with lots of oregano and black pepper.   Pictorial highlights: The Bennachin served with one of Rohi's special hot sauces Lamb and Flageolet Bean Stew served with rice and another special hot sauce!      Rohi's Story: Rohi grew up with thirteen family members – grandmother, uncles, aunties, cousins– in Gambia’s capital, Banju.  Her mum and three aunties shared the cooking, and “by eleven years, I could cook very well,” she says.  “When it was time for lunch, they would dish up three big bowls. The younger ones would eat with the grandmother so she could discipline them; the girls with their mums, the dads with their boys. There was always a bowl for strangers, neighbours, anyone who comes seeking food.” Benachin is the traditional dish of Rohi’s tribe, the Wolof.   “We cook benachin for all the feasts and special occasions,” she explains.  Rohi has missed the closeness of her family and neighbours since she came to the UK, but continues to cook Gambian food for her four children.   She enjoyed cooking at the Spicery. “It was amazing to see lots of spices and recipes from around the world. James and his staff were very nice and hospitable,” she says. To those buying a Refugee Action Big Night In pack, Rohi says, “Refugee Action Big Night In is going to be a great help to both Refuge Action and you.  Whatever good you do, it comes back to you.” Take part in the Refugee Action Big Night In on the 2nd May 2015 and help to raise vital funds to support people like Rohi who have fled conflict and persecution. *** Join us for the voting next Thursday 26th Feb if you'd like to see one o Rohi's dishes in the final menu!
