Nutritious food is essential for our survival, but it also has the amazing power to bring families and communities together. We asked some our colleagues around the world to tell us their favourite meal to eat with friends and family. Read on to see brilliant recipes from Victoria in Haiti and Ibrahim in Somalia.
Victoria Jean-Louis, Concern’s Programme Manager in Haiti, sent through this recipe for an eye-catching rice dish. Djon-Djon is a type of dried mushroom that is sold in Haiti and is not commonly available in Ireland, so we have substituted this for mixed dried mushrooms.
