African
At Khartoum Centre Restaurant, first you choose your bread. Will it be fluffy, Arab-style bread that emerges from the oven as football-shaped puffs? Or nutty kisra, an unleavened flat bread made with sorghum flour? This choice reflects Sudan’s geographical position, wedged between Egypt and central Africa. Either way, tuck in to juicy grilled meats like chicken thighs marinated in black pepper, cumin and cinnamon, served with mild red lentil and creamy yoghurt dips. Adventurous types might try a traditional dish like fasikh, a thick red stew of finely minced sardines, tomato and a touch of peanut butter. Finish off the meal with steaming glasses of spiced ginger tea.
