This is a popular dish among Zimbabweans. It’s very basic and is served often. You can use canned pumpkin, but you may need to adjust water to get the right texture. Prep time does not include cooking pumpkin. Posted for ZWT.
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.

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.

I did take a few liberties with this recipe, since the original version called for dried shrimp (I don’t recommend it). Instead, I used bonito flakes (the main ingredient in Japanese miso soup) and fresh salad shrimp.

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.
Are you craving that great Mexican rice from your favorite taco stand? Here it is. This is just like a good Mexican restaurant rice. Many recipes taste good… but the texture just isn’t right. You know how it is… you have prepared scores of Mexican rice recipes but always have been disappointed. It may be delicious but kinda “gloopy and wet.” Try this. Everything is pureed and cooked in. There are no chunks of anything… just dry fluffy rice with all the seasonings and just the tiniest hint of a tomato flavor. I will throw away all of my Mexican rice recipes- this is the one I have been looking for for years! I don’t own a rice cooker but some people have had disappointing results using one. You will also need to adjust your cooking time if you want to use brown rice. I recommend following the cooking instructions as directed. Proceed at your own peril if you stray. Enjoy.
