What in the world do we eat in Rwanda? Good question. Here are some photos of what is in our house. We have found that you have to be creative to make meals. Andria is doing such an incredible job developing her cooking skills. She rarely cooked/baked in the U.S., now she is in the kitchen experimenting all the time. We have a lot of canned goods on our shelves. We have found that beans bought at the market (fresh) are not so easily prepared. It takes hours for those fresh beans to cook. So we buy our beans in cans. The fruit is delicious here. Above is a papaya. It is very tasty when mixed with other more sugar filled fruit. Bananas are so sweet! The little ones are our favorite. We have made many loaves of banana bread from these little gems.
Last night Andria made fresh tortillas and we had bean burritos. She has also made scones, banana pancakes, bread sticks and even a cake! It is the daily challenge to make things that we enjoy eating. Rice is always a good staple in Rwanda so we too have rice quite often. We usually will get string beans, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and garlic at the market and use them in a stir fry.
