It’s another Friday! How has your week been so far? This week we are going to the city of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Like most of its West African countries, Freetown offers most of the same delicacies, though prepared differently and with a different taste. This week, our recipe will be Spinach Plasas, which is basically spinach stew.
Freetown is Sierra Leone’s capital and largest city with over one million residents. The city was established in the 1780s as a base for freed slaves from North America and the Caribbean. To see more of this wonderful city, click here.
