Last week I had the opportunity to help our friend Harriet cook lunch. Although, I have already had "official" lessons on cooking beans and rice, this is more a chance for me to practice speaking and writing Acoli. So, I've decided to create this simple recipe and provide the translation. If you are wanting a little taste of Northern Uganda, give it a try :)
* Note: If you don't a charcoal stove and gas oven, electric is fine :)
