1 hour ago West African sunshine dishes: Toyo Odetunde’s chicken yassa pot pie and stuffed plantain boats – recipes

Beat the winter blues with a soul-soothing, Senegalese-inspired spiced chicken pie and hearty Nigerian plantain boats stuffed with black-eyed beansIf there’s anything that can assuage my winter blues, it’s a soul-soothing chicken pie.

Typically paired with ripe plantain, I use the rich beans to fill canoas (plantain boats) in a playful, Latin American-inspired twist. Continue reading...

Last month, a two-year-old night service linking Paris w...
