African Meal By: Stella, Age: 10

Hi all!
We just did an African Meal. We studied in school this past year the Eastern Hemisphere and we decided to do for school, an African meal. It was really good. Here is what it was like:

We made Cucumber Salad. We cut up cherry tomatoes in half, then hand-pitted and cut the olives in half. We put some onion in, parsley, and some garlic. We also added lemon juice and olive oil. Then we mixed it, and put it in the fridge.

We also made Grilled Chicken-MMMMMMMMMMMM! We got some nice chicken, then we made a rub to put on it. We took the rub, which had spices, all sorts of things in it and we put on gloves and rubbed it on both sides of the chicken. It made a delicious rub. We covered it, and put it in the fridge to sit. Then, when that was done, we grilled the chicken, and then put it on the counter with some foil on top, for it to sit, until we were ready for it.

We also made yummy flat bread. We made the dough, then we took the dough, and put it in the fridge to sit, for about an hour. Then, we took the dough out, and covered it with sauce, which had yummy spices, and stuff like that. Then, we twisted it, (into twelve twists) and put it on a platter, which we then covered with a kitchen towel. After that, we just let it sit for a minute, while we set up the skillet. We then took the bread, covered it with flower, and rolled it out, so that it was 6 in. in diameter. We put it on the skillet, and fried it till it was brown in spots, dry, and puffy. It was DEEELICIOUS! We put some of the sauce thing that we used in the salad, (the lemon juice, and olive oil) and put it on the bread. (It is pretty plain dry.)
We absoloutely loved this dinner. If you would like the recipe, just e-mail us or give us a call!
ENJOY!
