Many years ago, a princess broke away from a Ghanaian empire and founded a new people in present-day Cote d’Ivoire. This people gave us the dish featured on today’s episode. Our feature dish, Chicken Kedjenou, is so easy to make that even the meaning of its name asks you to do the bare minimum.

This south-eastern African country boasts beautiful coastlines and is well known for its peri-peri pepper, giant prawns, and grilled chicken. That titbit was enough to inspire us to grab some shrimp, some chicken, and slather them with a home-made, peri-peri sauce made from peppers, herbs, spices, and vinegar.

“Planti for pikin, E sabi sweet.” (Translation: plantain for children is usually sweet) This dish takes us into a Cameroonian tradition that celebrates the birth of a baby. Get some plantain, add some bitter leaf (Vernonia), toss in a storyline, and you’ve got some Born House Planti. Visit the blog (https://taplink.cc/tunukamedia) for pictures and references.
