Hey guys! Welcome to a brand new edition of the DecorhubNg weekly series: #AfricanCorner. Last week, we had an interesting insight into how we can go African in the artistic direction of our Christmas decorations. If you missed that post, you can catch up here Today on the corner we take an exciting look into the amazing and mouth-watering world of African cuisine in our special Christmas edition tagged  African Corner: 4 Enjoyable African Christmas Dishes

As we all know, Christmas is that favourite time of the year where we get to spend time with our loved ones and celebrate the birth of Christ. A major highlight of the Christmas season here in Nigeria and other countries is usually woven around the heavy and sumptuous cooking that goes down in the kitchen. From Barbecue to neatly diced plantains and enticingly red scoops of Jollof rice, the Kitchen at this period is surely a place of pure love, magic, and good food combined. We take an exciting journey into some of the most popular recipes that take front row during Christmas celebrations in five African countries.

1 South Africa 

Roast duck with honey spice glaze

Easy rum and raisin chocolate truffles

A quick, homely chocolate truffle recipe that is so easy to make, this is definitely one that would keep mouths watering on the dining table.

Christmas Santa-berries

These Santa berries surely look inviting, delicious and super-easy to make. What’s better than decorations you can eat?

2. NIGERIA

Jollof rice

An absolute favourite of every Nigerian home, You are sure to encounter this upon visiting any Nigerian for Christmas.

Fried rice

Like its Jollof counterpart, there is no missing the Naija fried rice in any Nigerian home during the festive season, sometimes it is enjoyed with dodo (fried plantain)

3 ETHOPIA

TIKIL GOMEN

This simple dish is enjoyed by Ethiopians during the Christmas celebration.
