We're back in East Africa to pay a virtual visit to Mozambique.
The country's location on the East Coast has put a big mark on the country's cuisine. Apart from the large presence of seafood, the location has seen Mozambique as an early participant in the Arabic spice trade. Later, Portuguese explorers established settlements in the region and eventually conquered the entire country. This history has created a cuisine rich in spices with Indian and Portuguese dishes adapted to the local foods.

For our visit, I cooked a vegan version of matapa de mandioca, a rich and creamy stew made from cassava leaves, coconut cream, chili, and peanuts. Not finding any cassava leaves around me, I substituted them for Swiss chard.

To learn more about Mozambique cuisine and matapa de mandioca, check out the latest post on the blog.

Swedish Christmas dinner is a full spread with a mix of potato dishes and vegan versions of fish and meat dishes.
One of our favourites is Vegansson's Temptation. Potatoes ate cut into sticks and baked with onion, capers, allspice and cashew cream.

New this year was a kale and onion quiche and mustard-coated bake celeriac root.

Inspired by the season we're currently in, I decided to make a Ukrainian Christmas dish of particular importance. Joining the blog's line-up of Christmas dishes from around the world, kutia is the first of 12 traditional dishes eaten during the Ukrainian holy dinner on Christmas eve.

This straightforward dish is made by mixing wheat berries, ground poppy seeds and a vegan honey substitute with dried fruits and nuts. Very interesting flavour combination and texture, well worth trying. Maybe something new for your Christmas celebration this year?

Head on over to the blog to learn more about kutia, the symbolism of the ingredients, and its place in the Holy Dinner. And of course how to whip up a vegan alternative to try!
