#africanfood — Public Fediverse posts

We're having a lunch party next weekend and I thought it would be fun to make Groundnut Stew and Ugali.

I haven't made #Ugali in forever, does anyone have any tips?

Are there foods that children simply aren't ready to appreciate? 🤔🍆

This African garden egg is a perfect example for me. When I was little, I couldn't stand it. I didn't even like the thought of it getting into my mouth. 😂

Now? I can eat a dozen of them. I actually love them! 😋

What's even funnier is that my mum told me she disliked them when she was a child too, but today they're one of her favourite foods.

It makes me wonder: are there certain foods that children naturally dislike but learn to appreciate as they grow into adults? Or is it simply that our taste preferences change with age?

If there was a food you hated as a child but now absolutely love, drop it in the replies! 👇

A cuisine you've probably never tried: Republic of the Congo 🇨🇬

Cassava. Plantains. River fish. Peanut sauces. Leafy greens slow-cooked with palm oil.

🍚 Fufu — cassava dough, dipped into sauce
🐟 Liboke — fish in banana leaves
🥬 Saka saka — cassava leaves + smoked fish
🍗 Mwamba chicken — palm nut sauce

Savory, earthy, balanced. Depth, not spice.

Not the DRC. Same region, different cuisine.

Hi #Mastodon family some people have been asking why we don’t post the maize on our land hhh. So here it is, our maize field looks all green and healthy 😉.

And the funny part is 🌽😂 the maize we gave the least attention is now among the most developed around us. Harvest time is getting closer and we can’t wait to share with the community 😉

In #Africa maize are used to make posho, a common school meal. Fresh maize can also be roasted or boiled and tastes great 😉.

A cuisine you've probably never tried: Rwanda 🇷🇼

Isombe — cassava leaves pounded with ground peanuts
Brochettes — charcoal-grilled meat skewers
Ubugali — stiff porridge, torn by hand to scoop stews
Mizuzu — deep-fried plantains, caramelized at the edges

Beans provide 30%+ of dietary protein. Rwandan coffee has earned global recognition — bright acidity, floral notes, grown at altitude.

Simple ingredients. Deeply satisfying food.

Yesterday was a feel good day:

Made it to a sunny Roath Market, the first time for too long. Returned with Fabrizio's Sicilian arancini & panella, Sofia's Pastries' Greek leek pies & orange cake & dinner - a family-style West African meal c/o Mami Maggie's Recipes, we paired fittingly with Ken Forrester's Sparkle Horse.

Great to catch up with you both @tnjh!

#JikoniEastAfrica are with us this weekend with some proper comfort food to take the chill off this February. Check out this traditional Ethiopian Doro Wat, a chicken thigh or leg with caramelised onions on a sourdough flatbread with warm African spices.

Didn't manage to get down last night? This will be on the menu from 5pm at the brewpub courtesy of #JikoniEastAfrica with other great dishes from the Horn of Africa. 🇪🇹

*MENU CHANGE* Replacing the Hillib Iyo Soor is a Zigni - a traditional Ethiopian style slow cooked goat in a spicey sauce of red onions, berebere spices and rosemary, with 'Baris' Somali style rice and rainbow Chard cooked in 'kibbeh' spiced butter 😋

Full menu is online now so you can take a gander at all the other amazing dishes available from 5pm tonight.

Cold innit? 🥶 Luckily, we have some East African comfort food to warm the cockles this weekend for you from #JikoniEastAfrica. You may have seen them on #TheHairyBikers BBC2 earlier this year and Si and Dave raved about the food so we're feeling incredibly blessed to have them join us. 🙏

M NotLeafy headed to Roath Market, while Mme waited in for a parcel delivery & tried to get over (another) bad night's sleep. He returned with restorative jollof rice, puff-puffs & plantain from Mami Maggie's Recipes.

The delicious food survived the walk, we went in without tidying for photo presentation. Oh, & of course, the parcel arrived late.

Wife made shakshuka for dinner last night. She's got this recipe so down she can now whip it up based only on vibes with whatever is in the fridge - so long as there's that base of eggs, tomatoes, sweet peppers, preserved lemon, onions and feta. This version has fresh homegrown habanero and some spicy sausage links.

Is this any help?

"Depending on where you live, red rice may be popular enough that you can find it at major grocery stores. For instance, you can get it at Vons, Albertsons, and Walmart. Keep in mind that it's more common to see whole grain red rice in big chains like these."
