What can I say about Sierra Leone cuisine? In one sentence, IT IS SPICY!<\/p>\n

I kind of like spicy food but I believe there is a clear boundary between spiciness that enhances flavors and spiciness that kills it. Sierra Leone cuisine is more on the killing side. That said, here are the dishes that I cooked this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sierra Leone Meat Stew<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
My husband doesn’t like eggplants but this recipe<\/a> does a nice job of hiding and transforming them into a sauce.<\/p>\n

Grannat Chop<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Well, apparently, this week was all about the ingredients that are not a part of our usual food choices – eggplants, chilies, peanut butter. In fact, it is the first time we bought and tried peanut butter. By itself — yuck!<\/p>\n

However as a base for a sauce, the peanut butter performed really well (it was thick and nutty) so overall we liked the recipe<\/a>. Here is a modified version that goes easy on the spiciness.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ginger Cookies<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Beware, spicy cookies! The recipe<\/a> called for 1\/2 teaspoon of red pepper but I was cautious about it and used only 1\/4 teaspoon. The cookies turned out to be very spicy anyway. Add less.<\/p>\n
