I went to someone's house for dinner tonight, and as I was munching I realized that I should share some of the authentic Malian cuisine cooked by authentic Malians that I have eaten. So here's tonight's feast:
Salad: Lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, drenched with oil, sprinkled with Maggi (like bullion), drizzled with vinegar, and topped with fried plantains. Yup, you read that bit right. Fried plantains. Don't forget to dip your french bread into this, even if you don't think this is a bread-dipping kind of food. There's enough oil in it to soak your bread chunks.
Main Course: This is boring in comparison, but we had big elbow macaronis with chicken on top. The seasoning was mild, which I heartily appreciated. There was enough so that none of us could finish it.
I realize this doesn't sound overwhelming, but I promise it's delicious and filling.
OK, I'm sleepy. Goodnight!
