Fresh Corn Muffins (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. This interesting take on corn muffins doesn’t use flour – just baking soda and salt. The result is a very flavorful muffin that is great as a side dish.

Oaxacan- Style Grilled Corn on the Cob

From Cooking Light, August 2012. This is a great addition to your summer BBQ. I usually use ancho chili powder when no specific type is called for, which is mild, and slightly smokey- a nice compliment to the grilled flavor of the corn.

Crazy Rice – Brazilian

This is a recipe that I found in Steven Raichlen’s “The Barbecue Bible” for Brazil. You can also make this in a vegetarian form by leaving out the bacon and increasing the oil to 2 tablespoons.

Brazilian Chicken and Black Beans and Rice

Wonderful main dish ‘salad’ to be served cold, but it’s wonderful eaten warm too. A good Mexican rice and fresh cilantro are musts. So easy – this is my favorite thing to eat for any meal! It would be good for a side dish (omitting the chicken in lieu of grilled chicken) or can be adapted for a vegetarian diet.
