Sese Plantains (Cameroon)

This recipe was featured on week 46 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Cameroon is my 46th stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. Personally, I find plantains too bland and sadly, this recipe didn’t really improve my opinion. If you enjoy plantains this is a different way to cook them; if not this probably won’t change your mind.

El Salvadorian Curtido

Curtido is a kind of El Salvadorian cabbage slaw that is served with pupusas. Traditionally the cabbage and carrot are boiled down and pickled with vinegar and salt, but there are many variations of curtido these days. I like to make my version fresh and crunchy, as many modern variations of this dish are.

Lenten Lentils, Oaxacan-Style

These unusual, luscious lentils are a traditional Lenten meal of Oaxaca, Mexico. Pineapple, plantain, cloves and allspice give this dish a tropical feel – plus there’s plenty of garlic for zip. Garnish with fried plantain slices.

Jamaican Jerk-Spiced Tempeh Nuggets

This combination of spices is popular in Jamaica and adds that this vegetarian and vegan tempeh recipe could be served either as an hors d’oeuvres or as a main dish. I imagine that this could easily be transferred to chicken breast cubes for an omni version
