I’m preparing for my first trip to Africa and I’m super excited! There’s a lot more prep work for this trip than for the usual trips I take….securing Visa’s, getting Yellow Fever vaccinations (ouch!), picking up the anti-malarial pills, etc. Even with all of this preparing, I hadn’t given any thought to the Africa cuisine until my cousin Eric brought it up. As a food lover, how could I have overlooked this? I did some research and chose to experiment with Maafe…an African Peanut Soup. It’s a delicious, full bodied, satisfying soup that can easily double as a stew over rice, if desired. If you’d like to get a taste of African cuisine why not make a pot of African Peanut Soup (Maafe) yourself? Tutaonana baadaye! (Swahili for “catch you later!”👋🏼)
