Plantain Frittata with Cajun Chicken Sausage

Cooking Time: 90 minutes
Uncategorized
Outside of the international cuisine, I’ve not been sharing many recipes in this space as of late.  I don’t see a lot of value add to sharing my version of something you can find elsewhere, so unless I a) made somewhat substantial modifications to the recipe and b) plan to...

Tanzania: Mtuzi wa Samaki

Cooking Time: 30
Mtuzi wa Samaki is a Tanzanian fish curry that originated in Zanzibar.  Tanzania sits at a crossroads in the spice trade routes from India, and curries – particularly those made with coconut milk – are popular in the coastal region.  This dish is now enjoyed all over the eastern coast...

Portugal: Caldeirada de Peixe

Cooking Time: 45 minutes
I always have to think a bit about what recipes are good for Camp.  The cupboards aren’t as stocked as my own, and I’m never sure exactly what equipment I’m going to find.  Plus, you’re always cooking for a good sized group – my favorite part about Camp.  I decided on...

Fiji: Kokoda

Nigeria: Jollof Rice with Chicken

Cooking Time: Rice: 45 minutes Chicken: 1 hour
What do you know, another celebration dish!  I seem to be drawn to them.  A steaming pot of jollof rice is the mainstay at birthday parties, naming ceremonies, weddings, funerals and pretty much any family get together across West Africa.  But while it’s the source of much joy, it’s also...

Tunisia: Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a popular breakfast food in Israel.  It’s often thought of as a Middle Eastern dish, but it actually originates in the North African country of Tunisia.  It’s common that the influences of other countries are adopted and you forget where they came from to begin with, only remembering how much you...
