This is the national dish of Angola, at least according to Wikipedia. It gets is characteristic flavor from red palm oil which gets its color from lycopene. It is also antioxidant rich and studies have shown it can help prevent heart disease by regulating the balance between good and bad cholesterol. You can find it in health food stores. Serve this dish with boiled yuca (cassava) or over rice. Prep time does not include marinating time.
Yeah, these are a tad different. Remember you don’t have to eat them just as steak/burger/patty thingie, You can slap ’em onion buns (Or whatever buns/bread you like) and play around with your fav. condiments if you want. I know someone who actually makes a gravy (of sorts) out of veggie broth. onions, cornstarch and some other odds and ends I’m not sure of and makes his own style of an open face sandwich with mashed taters and wilted lettuce along with this burger and puts his crazy gravy thing on it., I also think he omits most if not all of the mint. I myself am not a mint fan, and usually only use just about 1/3 of what’s called for, and I don’t use the mint garnish. Support Our Cattle Farmers!!
Albanian Tave Dheu is one of Albania’s national dishes and is also know as Fergese me melçi (with Liver). There is a vegetable version called Fergesë e Tiranës me Piperka which is just as tasty! This is a great recipe that allows me to get out my clay dishes and bake the same way you would back in Albania – I have a big thumbs up from the family for this dish! This recipe is best cooked in clay dishes, 15cm by 5cm deep. It gives it a natural authentic taste and looks good too!
Beautifully tender chicken with Albanian Salami on skewers forming a delicious combination of textures complimented with spicy and smokey flavours.
Adapted from The Complete Round the World Meat Cookbook. I think you could probably omit pouring the oil over the top, unless it looks terribly dry.
