This south-eastern African country boasts beautiful coastlines and is well known for its peri-peri pepper, giant prawns, and grilled chicken. That titbit was enough to inspire us to grab some shrimp, some chicken, and slather them with a home-made, peri-peri sauce made from peppers, herbs, spices, and vinegar.

Mention “Liberian Cabbage” and many people may think you’re referring to a specific kind of cabbage grown in Liberia. Mention “Liberian Cabbage” to someone from Liberia, and odds are they’ll tell you something different. In Liberia, we try Cabbage. It is made with the well-known vegetable, but it is so much more fun to eat than ordinary cabbage 😊
