Comoros
Adding spice to French cuisine.
user ratingComoros, a small country located in the Indian Ocean, boasts a cuisine largely influenced by the flavors brought over by different groups, such as the Arabs and the French. The Arabic influence stands out in the spicy foods and sauces, while the French legacy lives on through many of the country's delicacies. As to be expected, fresh seafood is abundant on the island and it is served at most meals, especially in stews. Dishes almost always include both rice and meat, seasoned with locally produced ingredients. Barbecued goat meat is a local favorite, as is langouste a la vanille—lobster boiled in vanilla sauce. Along with vanilla, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg are popular ingredients used to flavor meals.
Similar to many African countries, Comorian cuisine features a type of porridge made from cassava. Tropical fruits are also enjoyed regularly by Comorians, including pineapple, mango, banana and avocado.—Alexandra Menglide
