This is a method of drying which defies all long held views on the preservation of fish and chicken. Refrigeration is the key to keeping these foods fresh and safe to eat. However, African people have devised a method which pre-dates electricity and refrigeration, and despite repeated expressions of doubt as to the viability of the method, we have all tasted and enjoyed fish and chicken preserved this way and can testify to its effectiveness and the intensity of flavour which results.
Preparation
Esther Johnson from Liberia uses snapper but any fish will do.
Clean the fish thoroughly and then rub a little salt into the skin. Put the fish on a rack in a medium oven and leave for 15 minutes.
Turn the oven off, leaving the fish in place. The next day, repeat the process and again the next day also.
The fish is now ready, and can be stored in the pantry ready to be used in dishes for the next week or more.
The same process can be used for chicken.

Hot Tips
Fresh pasta
Fresh pasta shouldn't be cooked to the 'al dente' stage. As it is egg based, it needs to be well cooked and not have any resistance when you bite into it but be silky smooth.
