Features & Benefits
- Background
Africa as a continent is of course very large. So it's not surprising that a lot of cuisines can be distinguished here too. This spice blend mainly focuses on the flavors of West Africa. This kitchen, if you could even call it a single kitchen, was influenced by Portugal, France and England, among others, but now also has its signature. Characteristics are, for example, the warm flavors of smoked paprika and cocoa. But you can also spot fresh, sour notes from tamarind and even spiciness from jalapeno peppers and ancho chiles.
West African cuisine is simple, yet rich in flavor. Much use is made of vegetables and fiber-rich products such as rice and bread. Stews and soups are also happily on the menu here. A real favorite is Jollof (spicy, spicy rice with tomato and bell pepper), almost every country has its variation on this dish.
Every dish often starts with a base of tomato, onion and chili. Vegetables play an important role in this kitchen. You often see meat or fish in a stew or braai.
What is a fixed value is the conviviality at the table. Eating here is done in large groups, with the whole family. Coziness is inextricably linked with comfort food and you never cook a little bit here. Not a bad excuse to set up large pans with your favorite stew or to barbecue all Sunday afternoon.
