Food in Burundi | Boko boko harees
Burundi next on cook around the world and this is an attempt at boko boko harees, Sort of a boiled bulghur wheat and chicken job Not a very authentic attempt as I didn’t have chicken giblets and also I think it’s supposed to be more porridge-y, but I was hungry so took it off early.

Food in Brazil | Galinhada, Strogonoff and more
This is an attempt at galinhada, ‘galinha’ is Portuguese for hen(chicken).I think.It’s a bit like a less fiery jollof rice which I’m sure I’ll be trying with some of the West African countries.
