Bouillon d'awara

Bouillon d'awara (also known as bouyan wara and awara broth) is a traditional Guianese specialty. The main ingredient in this dish is the paste of a palm fruit called awara. The paste is used as a base for a thick stock that's slowly cooked for a long time with a large number of added ingredients such as smoked fish, vegetables, salted meat, chicken, cassava, and various herbs. Awara broth is traditionally prepared during the Easter festivities and it's commonly served with rice on the side.
