Ava eats Djibouti (Global Table Adventure)

Ava will have eaten one meal from every country in the world by the time she's 5 years old. This week Laxoox.

Rainbow Rice Palau (Dyed Rice)
Brighten up the dinner table with the vivid colors of Rainbow Rice. One bite fills your mouth with warm cinnamon, cumin, cardamom and more. Traditionally served for special holidays -- try any combination of colors to coordinate with your special day.

Skoudehkaris
A one pot dish of lamb stewed with tomatoes, onion, rice, cayenne, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and a teeny pinch of cloves.

Laxoox
This yeast-risen flatbread/pancake can be eaten with sweet or savory food. It is browned on one side only -- try it topped with lamb stew or dipped into sauces -- the open holes will absorb loads of flavor.

Laxoox with bananas & honey
When Laxoox is served for breakfast it is often soaked with a generous drizzle of honey. Bananas are readily available in most of Djibouti and add fresh fruity flavor.
