Quinoa


I'm in love with this super food, high in magnesium and iron, gluten free, easy to digest and high in dietary fibre.

Cook this grain just like rice, eat it for breakfast as a cereal or substitute it for your rice or couscous recipe.

Jinnejobe (ngalakh)


4 cups bouye or any tropical juice
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 can milk(optional)

blend all ingredients well, a blender is ideal, put in a container and place in fridge to cool

4 cups cooked millet or couscous

dish out warm millet in bowls and serve cooled jinnejobe over, you can add any dried or fresh fruit. I would eat this at breakfast as it is really filling.

This is also called ngalakh check out the recipe in the congo cookbook i don't usually have orange flower water on hand so i didn't include it in the recipe.
