πLiberian Rice Bread recipe serving for 2
This recipe, is enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or breakfast , especially in cities like Monrovia,
Liberia capital city.π±π·
Liberia’s connection with African Americans especially freed Black people who settled
there in the 1800s also shaped this recipe.
Rice flour gives it that nice chew, and coconut milk, nutmeg, and vanilla bring out
rich, local flavors. It’s a tasty mix of Liberian ingredients with a twist from the African
diaspora, like Afro-Caribbean and Southern U.S. banana breads.
