Arroz De Coco E Papaia (Angola) image

This recipe is from week nine of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Angola is my ninth stop. This is an Angolan side dish made from rice, coconut milk and papayas.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

The papaya was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll use less of it next time.

The rice was a bit dry. I think I should have added more coconut milk.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a container of cooked rice in my fridge, so this is a quick and easy meal to throw together.
