It is basically the same sauce but Americanized!(Jiff peanut butter)One thing that my recipe calls for is toppings of cut up fruits and raw veggies.I use what ever is in season. Have you ever heard of topping this delirious dish with fresh fruits and veggies or was that just an add on from another source?<br />Love your blog! Thanks for the recipes. Keep them coming!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384851668145144359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154602484181941912.post-20863892311645750762014-09-30T22:01:40.940-04:002014-09-30T22:01:40.940-04:00I love Liberian food and like you have learned how...I love Liberian food and like you have learned how to cook some dishes but always the student, I am trying to learn how to cook even more. I know of a website of authentic Liberian recipes posted by a Liberian lady who lives here in the U.S. I've tried a few of her recipes and they are excellent. My husband is Liberian and he loved the dishes that I made from her recipes. He actually knows the lady personally. I can tell you that her recipes are legit. The website is ... www.african-recipes-secrets.com. She is also has some youtube videos showing how to make yeast fried donuts, jollof rice - etc. Enjoy! I am putting together a cookbook featuring African desserts (just started working on it) but some of the recipes will be on my blog www.sweetmotherskitchen.com - EVENTUALLY :) Enjoy! ps - she has a very easy recipe for split peas using Campbells split pea soup. Looks delicious! Click on the "Dinner" link and you'll find the split peas, gravy and rice recipe link near the bottom of the page.Charlotte Mwagbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914962140346087922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154602484181941912.post-7356010828918874422013-02-24T15:34:25.025-05:002013-02-24T15:34:25.025-05:00Hi Melodie,

It's so fun to see these beautiful photos of Liberia and to read the familiar recipes. mmm, peanut sauce over rice makes me salivate already. <br /><br />Have a great week! <br /><br />Jennifer Dougan <br />www.jenniferdougan.comJennifer Douganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659224247916807471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154602484181941912.post-88443946001075042412013-02-18T13:11:29.484-05:002013-02-18T13:11:29.484-05:00Thanks for your comment!

There are a number of dark leafy green sauces (I'll be posting a recipe soon!) as well as gravies and bean dishes that are common in Liberia. The food she remembers is a sauce made from yellow spit peas. It is just called Split Pea Soup (Or "slit" pea as they pronounce it!). It is actually quite similar to a thick split green pea soup (only served over rice) but the peas are yellow and it is seasoned with dried fish as versus ham.Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378004795810316796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154602484181941912.post-42388707441356792662013-02-04T17:44:59.936-05:002013-02-04T17:44:59.936-05:00Thank you so much for posting this!!

We do make great cabbage soup or eggplant soup like they do, but now we are itching to try this recipe! <br /><br />There is one dish she remembers with rice and something that looked like yellow lentils, but she does not know how it was made. Any ideas?Rose Petal@LiveReadyNow.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110441806930476643noreply@blogger.com
