Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Cook’s Note

Sometimes I use 2 tablespoons of garlic-chile paste instead of the ginger and diced jalapeño. Depending on how spicy you like it, you can add more. We love spice!

For topping the tacos, mix a bag of shredded coleslaw with thinly sliced cucumbers and carrots. Season the slaw with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, salt, and pepper.

This is a delicious twist on a soul food staple! These African greens are never bitter. I got the recipe from a Liberian restaurant. You may think the ingredients are strange, but they come together perfectly. You may want to adjust the amounts to your taste. When cooking something like greens, eyeballing is the best measurement. The longer you cook these, the more the flavors mesh and the better they taste.

This sausage green bean potato casserole is a great dish for a chilly weekend, when you want to warm up the kitchen and enjoy a comforting casserole. I used a chicken-apple sausage, but any flavor sausage will work. There might not be enough time for this on a weeknight, but you can also assemble this casserole the night before, and bake it the next.
