Green Shades of Afang Soup 4th day of Valentine Cooking

Have you ever thought about precolonial love? If we had never been exposed to pasta Alfredo or even Jollof rice what would we consider “romantic food”. Well in my opinion, nothing says ‘I love you’ more than Vegetable soup in this case Afang soup with an assortment of meat, snails, tripe and fish. For that traditional lover, give your significant other a meal that would make their heart sing. Enjoy XoXo

Fish in onion sauce (Fish Yassa) by Oumou for Kadi Recipes

I don’t know if you guys are fond of chicken as much as I am, because I personally eat chicken more than any other thing. Not only because chicken meat tastes good, but also because I find it pretty quick and easy to cook. There are however a few days through which something deep in my mind tells me to go for a little change, and that’s when the choice of fish pops out as a second choice. My top list fish menu is composed of: fish with pepper soup, fish stew, grilled fish and fried fish, but there’s one more that stands beyond the top list menu, it’s called Fish Yassa, and is cooked in an onion sauce. I love it so much. If you never had Fish Yassa before, this is the moment to discover and figure out how to cook this finger licking recipe which the origin leads us straight in Senegal.
