Angola, officially the Republic of Angola, is a country on the west coast of Southern Africa. It is the seventh-largest country in Africa, bordered by Namibia to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Zambia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
Angolan cuisine is a vibrant blend of African, Portuguese, and Brazilian influences, reflecting the country's rich cultural history. Staple ingredients include cassava, rice, and beans, often accompanied by fish, chicken, or beef. Dishes are typically seasoned with garlic, onions, and spicy peppers, creating bold and flavorful meals. Popular dishes include "muamba de galinha," a chicken stew with palm oil and okra, and "calulu," a fish or meat stew with vegetables. The use of tropical fruits like bananas and mangoes adds a sweet contrast to the savory flavors. Angolan cuisine is known for its hearty and comforting nature, often enjoyed in communal settings.
