3 Plant-based superbowl eats inspired by west African flavors!
Hey Yall!
It's a week till the big game day! For those who may be unaware but the superbowl is coming up. I am a pretty big football fan, go pack go! I started watching football in 2010 during my college years at the University of Central Florida. Eventhough my team fell out if the running I'm still tuning into the superbowl like I do every year. Even if your not a sports fan like me you may be tuning in for the music, entertainment or legendary footbal commercials.. Half time shows tend to be a big deal.
Every year we gather round with friends and family, cook food or order out the usual wings, nachos, burgers etc from our local pubs and dives.
This year I wanted to do something different. As inspiration I'm using the amazing soups and sauces from Egunsi food. A line of bold tasting soups inspired by West african flavors. If your hosting a big superbowl party (safely ofcourse) or even a small gathering and want to wow your guest with some west African inspired eats check out these classic recipes with a bold spicy twist.
