African Chicken in Peanut Sauce

African Chicken in Peanut Sauce by John Spottiswood

I first had this in graduate school when a classmate from Ghana cooked it for an International progressive dinner. I fell in love with the combination of sweet peanuts and pungent spices. This is not a flavor you will easily forget, and it will keep you coming back for more!

Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki by Nancy Miyasaki

Lentil & Sausage Stew by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a warm and hearty stew that is also good for you! I adapted this from a recipe on the label packaging of Trader Joe's black lentils, but reduced the sausage and made a few changes.
