Sunday Traditions! Bakes and Sautéed Fish. Pictur Sunday Traditions! Bakes and Sautéed Fish. Pictured is my husband’s plate. Swipe to see my gluten free and Whole30 plate. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ If you’re new around here, please allow me to briefly introduce my blog / IG Page. I’m Althea. I’m Guyanese by birth and currently living in beautiful Colorado. I share a lot of Traditional Guyanese and Caribbean Dishes, a lot of Wholesome dishes (that are mainly traditional dishes that I’ve remixed to make Whole30 and Paleo). And I also share a little bit of everything else.⁣ ⁣ Welcome and I hope you’re having a fabulous Sunday!! ⁣ ⁣ All recipes are linked in my bio or can be found at metemgee.com⁣
Lunch today is featuring this delicious plantain f Lunch today is featuring this delicious plantain fu-fu served with my Instant Pot Beef Stew. ⁣ ⁣ Fu-fu is African in origin. It’s a type of “dough” made by pounding boiled plantain or cassava. ⁣ ⁣ In Guyana we typically only make plantain fu-fu. My late Grandmother (Ms. Inez Glen) pounded her plantain in a wooden mortar with a large wooden stick. She always added fu-fu to her beef soup and it was glorious. ⁣ ⁣ Today I made this meal to honor her and my African ancestors. ⁣ ⁣ Happy Emancipation Day!
