(Above) Fried Rice with Prawns.
In celebration of Africa Day this Friday, I wanted to share some of my favourite recipes from around the continent.
Best of all, the recipes are really simple and the ingredients are easy to find in most South African supermarkets.
You can make these and enjoy with friends as you reflect on the African values of ubuntu, community and African unity.
The first recipe uses fried rice, one of the most widely eaten Nigerian dishes, with hundreds of variations using seafood, red meat or chicken and sometimes two different meats in the same dish.
The second is a soup made with the popular West African vegetable okra, that can be eaten raw or cooked and added to stews or soups. Both recipes are very easy to prepare. Enjoy!
