My name is Fatoumata Barry. I am a student who is always ready to learn new things and is happy to go on new adventures. I use the recipe when I am feeling hungry and I want to make something quick and tasty. My whole family loves this dish because it's so easy to make. I think this is a dish that could be prepared at a family dinner and that everyone will enjoy it, even the picky eaters. I promise you that! I learnt how to make it this summer, thanks to my mom.
