Rehus-Beal-Ledeats

This is the way some people on the continent of Africa tell one another Merry Christmas.

This year, we chose to pick some food from some different countries in Africa to eat for our traditional Christmas Eve meal.

It was delicious, and I enjoyed trying the new recipes.

Here is what was on the menu:

Appetizer: African Red Dip With shrimp

ATA SAUCE WITH SHRIMP

An appetizer from West Africa

Soup: African Beef and vegetable soup NKRAKRA

A soup from Ghana

Salad Tomato and Green Pepper salad

A salad from Morocco

Moroccan Herbed Olives

Moroccan Garbanzo Beans with raisins served with rice

Main Dish—Fish baked with Tomatoes and Spices

MTUZI WA SAMAKI

A main dish from Kenya

Dessert--Sliced Oranges with dates

A dessert from Morocco

There were a very delicious mix of flavors in the food prepared for this meal. Lot of coriander, hot peppers, and squash.

I enjoyed each part of the meal, and loved learning how they celebrate Christmas in different countries in Africa.
