Coupé Coupé and Yucca Fries
One of my resolutions this year is to travel the world in food. Basically, every week for the next year my kitchen is traveling to another country. This week I made some sort of rendition of a Western African dish. Who knows if it's anything like what the dish should have tasted like, but I really enjoyed it.
On top of that, another one of my resolutions is to try 10 recipes with ingredients I've never used before. I made yucca fries to go with the sandwich. I had never tried yucca before, but I absolutely loved it.
