Traditionally, it is made with kidney or lima beans but I remember Nana (my grandmother) making it with peas to accommodate my bean-hating aunt. Enjoy!

This gufong recipe is a fried pastry that you will love. Crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside, add a drizzle of chocolate and heaven! #internationalcuisine #gufong #frieddough #capeverderecipe #caboverderecipe #dessertrecipe #caboverde #capeverde
