African Cuisine

[Anonymous No.12212214]

What are some interesting African dishes that I can try and make? I Googled for a bit but I can only find Ethiopian recipes for some reason so I must be doing something wrong. Surely a region which such rich history and biodiversity has produced some very unique foods to share with the rest of the world.

There is no such thing as African cuisine unless you count North Africa which is all just Arab dishes. The rest of the continent literally eats monkey shit

Most of Africa except for North Africa, Mali, Mozambique, and Ethiopia has virtually zero complex culture
Most of Africa didn't get to the point of creating a unique enough culture to develop a Cuisine around, kinda like America, and how most of our food is just repurposed european/asian/mesoamerican food
Any food culture in Africa most like collapsed during the rush to colonize and industrialize Africa, due to the rapid change from Neolithic tribal kingdoms, to modern semi-industrial states
Give Africa another 100 years and it will improvr :)

North African - similar to mediterranean cuisine - lamb, couscous, etc
West African - goat, fufu, plantains, black-eyed peas, cassava, corn, jollof
East Africa - some Indian influence, sambusas, lentils, hominy, eggplant
Somalia - bananas part of every meal
Ethiopia - has it's own cuisine - injera (spongey pancake) is used as a wrapper to eat all the different types of vegetable and meat dishes. lots of spices
South Africa - bunny chow, bobotie, biltong, chakalaka, lots of Indian influence

Pretty great, just avoid anything with bitterleaf unless you like bitter melons (similar taste).

Ogbono is really really slimy, like boss-mode okra. Don't bother with it unless you're Japanese and enjoy eating slime.

Jollof rice is always good.

They use shrimp/crayfish powder in a lot of their foods so it reminds me a bit of SEA foods with all their shrimp pastes.

Also, anything made with tomatoes and peppers are good calls. Especially cow hide, or ponmo. It's actually very soft from the long cooking and taste like the tendons you get in Chinese beef tendon noodles.

Simply because the ingredients are very much different beyond the basic meats and vegetables. Nobody imports all of the veggies and spices from Africa and white hipsters don't particularly care, so there's no demand for such imports in the first place.
Ethiopian food is an outlier, a few good restaurants in NYC got popular and it spread from there through social media, with lots of whiteoids showing how progressive they are by trying the cuisine. Most Ethiopian food places have little to do with Ethiopia itself and are staffed by Africans from across the continent.
However most of them still have 1 or 2 people actually from the region and know precisely what ingredients they need to import.
Most Ethiopian recipes you'll find are greatly transformed to fit a western taste and ingredient availability, I personally wouldn't even bother.
However I think you're also a bit too superficial, if you dig around you can find plenty of African recipes not from Ethiopia, but again without specifications for local spices, they're pretty bland.
Here's a Mozambique lamb stew for example:

[Anonymous No.12213081]

>>12212485
It's pretty great if the restaurant actually has the proper ingredients. Of course the entire structure of the meal is different, you wash your hands when you come in/out and instead of using cutlery you get sour flatbread you use to pick up different stews/meats. You usually come in groups and order a platter of different foods.

Excluding Horn cuisine, I'm mostly familiar with Somali, Swahili and North African cuisines. Since North Africa just means 'lolArab (+couscous),' I'll focus on East: I've said it before and I'll say it again: just look up 'x wa nazi' where x is whatever food you want. Examples include yam wa nazi, chicken wa nazi, peas wa nazi etc etc etc.
You'll pull up recipes for x in coconut gravy. This one is similar to coconut curry gravies from SEA less the spices. The only spice used in this sort of gravy would be good quality turmeric (unless you count garlic and chillies as spices). There's no long list of Indian powders or obscure Thai aromatics. It's just simple and good.
Avoid recipes using a lot of oil. Properly, the gravy should be made with coconut cream which breaks down while cooking, creating the familiar look and texture. However, coconut cream is relatively expensive compared to coconut milk + soybean oil, so some people do it that way.

Another dish (but I can't remember the name of it, sorry) involves boiling whole tomato, shallot, garlic and chillies together until soft then blitzing them into a sauce. Once the sauce is made, you either saute X in oil (or, in the case of aubergine, deep-fry it) then add the tomato chilli sauce and toss to cook and reduce or you slow cook X in the sauce. Season to taste, add melt in some butter and serve. Two of the most common types are aubergine-and-potato (saute type) and brisket (slow-cook type). You can make the sauce plain, as I gave it, or add spices. With spices, it's more similar to a curry and it would be called mchuzi wa x.

Another thing is the common breakfast: chickpea pancakes in orange sauce. If you've ever had North African baghrir, it's similar, just made with chickpea flour instead of semolina flour. Lots of people cheat on the sauce and use marmelade to make it.

Don't forget, though, that whatever you make, you should have two or more sides to serve with it.

[Anonymous No.12216543]

Maybe because goat-rearing is not as standardised as the other meats so the taste from goat to goat can vary more widely as compared to cattle to cattle, pig to pig or chicken to chicken. Also, male and female goats taste completely fucking different unless you're just eating kid. Once a buck is old enough, it starts to taste very, very different compared to a nanny, even if he's been wethered.

One of the best restaurant experiences I had visiting some local NYC friends was eating at an ethiopian place where we sat on mats on a platform and were served a bunch of different stews and side dishes communal style with unlimited injira. I have to say, injira took some getting used to but you realize pretty quickly how the flavor and texture matched well with the different flavors of the stews. Inexpensive as well, but they were locals who had figured out where the best eating was.

South African food is great;
>Bobotie, a dish of Malay descent, is like meatloaf with raisins and with baked egg on top, and is often served with yellow rice, sambals, coconut, banana slices, and chutney.
>Chakalaka, a spicy South African vegetable relish.
>Hertzoggie, a tartlet with an apricot jam filling and desiccated coconut meringue topping.
>Isidudu, pumpkin pap
>Ostrich is an increasingly popular protein source as it has a low cholesterol content; it is either used in a stew or filleted and grilled.
Side note, an omelette with made from ostrich eggs is really fucking good, I recommend you visit an ostrich farm if you visit South Africa
>Vetkoek (fat cake, magwenya), deep-fried dough balls, typically stuffed with meat or served with snoek fish or jam.
>Smoked or braai'ed snoek, a regional gamefish.
>Boerewors, a sausage that is traditionally braaied (barbecued).
>Bunny chow and rice
