Africa in my kitchen

The holiday season often means lots of food, which we happily endorse. Now if you’re looking for something healthier to add to your lineup of dishes, something tasty, and something a little different, we’ve got you. This episode is our season finale, our fourth Special and features salads from different parts of the continent. 

From Tunisia in North Africa, we have Omek Houria, a lovely spicy carrot salad that pairs well with tuna, olives, and eggs.

From South Africa, there’s Chakalaka, a relish made with peppers, carrots, and baked beans.

From Seychelles of the East African coast is Salade de Palmiste, made with Heart of Palm and onions.

Finally, join us in West Africa where Ghana and Nigeria pretty much share a particular kind of salad. With its medley of vegetables, corned beef, baked beans, boiled eggs, and salad cream, this could easily be a large meal rather than a side.

This south-eastern African country boasts beautiful coastlines and is well known for its peri-peri pepper, giant prawns, and grilled chicken. That titbit was enough to inspire us to grab some shrimp, some chicken, and slather them with a home-made, peri-peri sauce made from peppers, herbs, spices, and vinegar.

The island country of Mauritius is a delightful melange of ethnicities, races and cultures that have bubbled their way into the cuisine. With all that deliciousness, we couldn’t bring ourselves to make just one dish. We explore a spicy tomato-based sauce and a lima beans dish, all accompanied by a flaky flatbread.
