Today our journey round the world of Olympic cuisine brings us to Niger. They have only won one medal in their Olympic history - a bronze in boxing at the 1972 Munich Olympics, so lets hope they have plenty of success this year, where they have 6 competitors in 5 sports (including boxing, judo, rowing and swimming) You can keep track of their progress here
Takusa (Mutton Stew) With Dumplings
Today's recipe is Takusa, or mutton stew with dumplings. It's the first time I've ever cooked with mutton, and it did find a bit hard to get a hold of, but as ever, Leeds Market was my friend. We also had some proper cinnamon, which I had been dying to use, and this dish gave me a perfect opportunity. As always, I'm a sucker for a good stew and yes, I did make too many dumplings...
