Delight in Deliciousness with this simple winter salad with beets and carrots.

When the temperature drops to freezing level, I find myself roasting more than usual. Roasting beets is my favorite way to eat them and they are so delicious in a salad. For this winter salad, beets and carrots are the keys ingredients. I wanted this salad to have different textures; sweet, savory but  light and creamy at the same time. I have incorporated different ingredients in order to accomplish this. Let’s dive into it. Shall we?

Eggplants confit in palm oil and seared fish

Eggplants confit in palm oil and seared fish recipe is the revelation of this year! I was inspired to develop this recipe after watching cooking classes by Thomas Keller on Masterclass.

Eggplants are the perfect candidate to confit in palm oil. They do not retain much oil and get cooked rather quickly. Before we get into what confit is, let’s talk about the ingredients that make this dish so unique. I like to pair eggplants with fish instead of meat. The lightness of a seared fish gives the eggplants the chance to really shine while meat tends to cast a shadow on the eggplants.

Chicken with peanut butter sauce

Chicken with peanut butter sauce is comfort food at its best. Not to be mistaken with Poulet a la mwamba, which is chicken with palm oil butter, the taste is completely different and is well known in both Congo D.R. and The Republic of Congo. Some people add peanut butter to the palm oil, but that base is palm oil butter. Now that this is out of the way, let’s get back to our chicken with peanut butter sauce.

Mbinzo with avocado and spinach sauce

mbinzo with avocado and spinach sauce

Fried mbinzo with avocado and spinach sauce is not a recipe for the faint at heart, but for the ones who choose to dare! I can still see my mom’s face as I am developing the recipe in my kitchen. She was looking at me like I had lost it. LOL. I told her my blog name is BLUE FUFU, after all, so we will push boundaries at times. It is so liberating! I had colors popping in my head every time I looked at mbinzo in my kitchen, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it yet. One day, as I was eating an avocado, I had a EUREKA moment! Mbinzo with avocado sauce!

Savory cake with chorizo and peppers on a plate

Savory cake with chorizo and peppers is THE most delicious savory cake I have ever had! When you hear about cake you might think of a sweet, creamy cake with beautiful icing. They are delicious indeed! Nothing wrong with those cakes! However, if you get tired of eating sweet cakes, I would suggest that you try a savory cake instead. This one doesn’t disappoint!
