African Chicken Stew

Recipe by: Leah Shaw

Reviews(2)

This delicious stew is inspired by my friend from Sierra Leone who often cooks for her family. Many ingredients can be modified. This is kind of a 'whatever is on hand' recipe. You can use a whole chicken cut into bite-sized pieces, or just breasts and thighs if you prefer. Other suggested additions are turnips, carrots and celery. This looks great served over white rice with a garnish of fresh chopped coriander, parsley or unsalted peanuts.

Amarula bread and butter pudding with Amarula cream

Recipe by: martin_pain

Be the first to review it!

I saw a recipe for this ages ago and always planned on making it myself. I couldn't find the original recipe so had to improvise. I was really pleased with the results, and so were the rest of the family. Amarula is a cream liqueur from Southern Africa and it's easily available. I guess you could try this with Baileys or any other cream liqueur you can get your hands on

Aubergine dip

Roasting the aubergine gives this moutabal as it is known in the Lebanon, or baba ganoush, as it is known in Egypt, its mellow flavour.

Broad Bean Breakfast Spread

Recipe by: Beverly Estes

Be the first to review it!

A deliciously seasoned broad bean, onion and tomato spread. This recipe is inspired by a dish traditionally served with pitta bread for breakfast in Egypt. A great way to use broad beans when they're in season, but feel free to use frozen when they're not.

Couscous Casablanca

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

A hearty veggie stew with couscous. Couscous is the staple food of much of North Africa, where it is often served topped with tender, colourful vegetables, drenched in delicious gravy and spiced with a traditional hot chilli sauce called harissa.

Eba

Recipe by: Forgemaster

A classic African dish which can be served as an accompaniment to dishes such as Egusi Soup, a rich spicy soup. Traditionally this dish is eaten communally using the hands. A small amount is rolled in the hand, then dipped into the soup before being eaten.

Egusi Soup

Recipe by: Karena

Reviews(4)

This soup is native to Nigeria and many of my British as well as Nigerian friends have enjoyed it. It is a great soup for those who like to try something different every once in a while. Ground egusi seeds give this soup a unique colour and flavour. If you can't find egusi seeds, you can substitute pumpkin seeds. Any combination of crab, prawns and smoked fish can be used in place of the prawns.

Green Banana Chips

Recipe by: Victoria M.H.

Reviews(1)

I learned of this dish when I was in Kenya. Potatoes aren't that common in Kenya but bananas are.

Red-hot chilli brings out the flavours of this fruity, tropical salad.

Marrakesh Vegetable Curry

Recipe by: NIBLETS

Be the first to review it!

A vegetable-full curry! Serve this curry over your favourite rice and you're sure to have a tasty meal. If you have carrot-ginger juice available to you, try using it in place of the orange juice - either one is delicious!

Mat Armett's Durban Curry

Recipe by: MatArmett

Be the first to review it!

This recipe can be halved or doubled without trouble. I use Durban curry powder that was brought back from SA but you can use Madras curry powder much to the same effect. If you don't want a particularly hot curry, then chop the Chillis into large pieces and take them out after cooking.

Moroccan lamb kebabs

Recipe by: Rich Madigan

Be the first to review it!

A magnificent sweet and spicy lamb recipe. You can increase cayenne and other spices to suit individual tastes. Serve in warm pitta with mixed greens (try using some strongly flavoured ones) and fresh herbs. Drizzle with a lemon and herb yoghurt sauce or a tzatziki.

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Recipe by: Grace and Mae

Reviews(4)

This delightfully spicy, hearty soup is thick, delicious and nutritious, especially in winter! Makes a perfect vegan meal.

Moroccan Tagine

Recipe by: MAX BOSIO

Be the first to review it!

Tagines are almost invariably made with mutton. Using lamb cuts down the cooking time, but if you can find good hogget (older than lamb, younger than mutton) that will do very well.

This is an African tomato chutney from Mozambique which uses ripe and flavourful cherry tomatoes.

Munchkins' Moroccan Style Lamb Stew

Recipe by: UberMunchkin

A very earthy stew with some lovely spices. Best to cook all day and enjoy with company on a chilly evening.

Red Chicken Stew

Recipe by: MrsUgo

Be the first to review it!

Perfect for large familys and can last up to 3-4 days, kept in the fridge or longer in the freezer, meaning less cooking during the week. For small families use 1/2 the amounts or 1/4 for 2-3 servings. Use boiling chicken, as the prewrapped stuff in the supermarket becomes too soft and falls apart. Blending the ingredients for the stew can be done in two parts if your blender (like mine) isn't big enough to take all the ingredients at once. Tweak the chillies and seasoning to suit you taste.
