African Chicken Stew
Recipe by:
Leah Shaw
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.
Egusi soup
Recipe by:
Karena
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.

Recipe by:
PIETOGO
