Side Dishes
You may find all kinds of recipes for side dishes on this page. Salads go well with barbecued vegetables or fish and the cold sauces are excellent with salads, nut burgers/cutlets and inside wraps. They are also perfect dipping sauces for raw vegetables. You may also find weird and wonderful recipes such as baked salmon skin (yup) and a Kenyan pineapple and beetroot salad. So many recipes to chose from!
Oven Baked Root Vegetables
There is nothing better than preparing this dish with your own vegetables from the garden.
Peanut Sauce from Uganda
I remember tasting a very similar sauce in Uganda one time. It was served with potatoes and barbecued goat and beef.
Pineapple and Beetroot Salad from Naivasha
I remember vividly when I saw this salad for the first time. I was in Naivasha, Kenya, at a small lodge just by Lake Naivasha.
Potato Chips
These potato chips have absolutely no fat and are still delicious and crispy. Ok they might not be as juicy as your traditional potato chips but if you want a healthy alternative this is the one.
Rhubarb Jam
I love rhubarb jam, I use it on waffles, on yoghurt, on toast and wherever I can because it is very, very good for you.
Salsa (Tomato Salsa)
I love tomato salsa. It is one of those healthy side dishes you can even order at a crap restaurant, serving disgusting food and it will still be mostly healthy and most often delicious.
Tanzanian Sambaro Carrots
These carrots I often call "carrots with a twist" and I love them served as a side dish of African or Indian food.
The Spinach and Onion Dish From the Mystical House in Nairobi's Forest
Oh boy...there is a long story behind this recipe and how I obtained it. It all started in Nairobi, September 2007.
Yoghurt Almond Salad with Bananas and Raisins
This salad is a perfect side dish for various dishes although it teams up especially well with spicy food as the yoghurt acts as a fire extinguisher in the mouth!
