Cameroon: Suya

What a wonderful stew of beef and peppers! Make sure you buy beef that does not need to cook for a long time, filet is best. It can also be made with lamb.

Cambodia: Oranges in Syrup

Cambodia: Oranges in Syrup

We had a special guest for this meal, and he patiently peeled and cleaned all the oranges. Thank you Jeff, we loved having you over!

Now... as for the oranges in syrup... next time we will use less rose water. This is an interesting ingredient, but it can make your food taste like your grandma's perfume!!

Very nice chick pea side dish, not too spicy. We reduced the onions substantially.

Burkina Faso: Spiced Lamb Balls

We made these with beef, because we did not have lamb at hand. They were OK but a bit dry.

Bulgaria: Baked Apples

Bulgaria: Baked Apples

Real simple and real good. Of course, since it was so simple, we had to add some chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream...

Brasil: Nhoque

Explanation # 1: Yes, gnocchi is from Italy. But, it is very traditional in Sao Paulo, where the Italian immigration is huge. So, yes, we consider it Brazilian (at least Alici and Ligia do).
Explanation #2: Yes, Brasil. Not Brazil. And that is that.

Explanation #3: Yes, it is out of alphabetical order! We actually cooked it in alpha order, but did not get around to posting it till now.

Explanation #4: We do not have a link to the recipe cause it is from a hardcopy cookbook and we do not feel like typing it all here. But just send us a message and we'll type it for you.

And finally: IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! We had it with tomato sauce and plenty of good quality parmesan cheese.

Brunei - Beriani

Beriani, the second down on the webpage, was an interesting dish consisting of poppy seeds, rice, and a whole chicken, just some legs will do however. This dish was not at all our favorite for the rice was a touch too sweet for our liking.
