Zimbabwe Greens

They use different greens in Africa but collard greens come the closest. Adapted from Recipes from countries around the world.

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.

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.

Greens from Cameroon

Posted for ZWT. I haven’t made this yet so the yield and time to make are a guess. Use collard greens, kale, mustard greens, swiss chard or spinach.

Rice Pudding — Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche

This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it’s probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!
