Arroz De Coco E Papaia (Angola) image

This recipe is from week nine of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Angola is my ninth stop. This is an Angolan side dish made from rice, coconut milk and papayas.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I must have missed a step in the recipe.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more vegetables and maybe a different type of protein.

I had some trouble finding papaya, but I was able to substitute it with mango. The dish still turned out great.
