  1. I lived in Togo for many years, Moyo and Akoume was my favorite thing to eat ever. But you might have to go stay with my mother in law in Lome to find out how to make itโ€ฆ.

  2. Maggi cubes? That means there is a strong German influence in Burkino Faso. I know NOTHING about that, but if Maggi has made it into their national dishโ€ฆ.that's impressive!

  3. I live in the south-west of Germany and would love to provide some recipes from my region once you get to the German episode (we have Dรถppelabbes for example, which is very popular here and has lots of different names and recipes depending who you ask). German cuisine varies a lot from region to region and I would be very happy to see something different than the "stereotypical German" Bavarian dishes, that absolutely do not represent all of German cooking.

  4. Lived in burkina for two years. Love riz gras!!haricot had a lot, but not as bean cakes. But the way to decorate the rice is that you have some whole veggies like little egg plants and peppers that cook in with the rice and then spoon them on top

  5. Usually, when you make this, you scrub away the outer layer of the black eye peas.
    The outer part makes it tougher and difficult to hold together since it is more fibrous and smooth.
    Removing it ensures the mixture will hold it's shape when cooking.

  6. heyo when u do Chile id reccomend doing a "Empanada de pino", its one of our most beloved pastry. Pls do not do a completo xDDD. anything else that comes up its probably going to be some sort of soup or stew.

  7. Wow I didnt know this was a thing. I make a similar rice once in a while here in Atl Canada (without the spice). Ive only seen 1 other local person cook it, and thats where I learned it.
    For the water added to the tomatoes/rice, I use the water from boilling the chicken thighs โ€“ bone in and skin on. Then I debone and skin the meat. Adds a lot of flavor. (I dont use extra fat, theres already a lot from the chicken depending on how many were boiled) Its def filling and satisfying.
    Would love to try a bean pancake with it too tho! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  8. Oh, man, what an amazing series! Thank you so much for putting in the work to make it happen! As for the bean cake falling apart, I think I'd try treating it as I would treat an acaraje (a similar fried bean cake traditional from African-Brazilian cuisine that I would bet shares roots with Boussan Touba) or a falafel: try frying it at a higher temperature, for which you can either use way more oil, as to cover at least the entirety of the cakes, preventing it from cooling in the middle of cooking, and/or make way smaller batches.

    In my experience, if the oil loses its temperature, instead of forming a crust and holding its shape, this type of bean cake will soak the oil, causing it to fall apart. Another possibly useful tip: in traditional acaraje making, we put a whole onion in the frying pan, peels and all, just making sure to poke it with a fork before placing it in the oil, because it is supposed to help regulate oil temperature while the cakes fry. Anyway, hope it helps!
