We're continuing our adventure cooking food from every country in the world. We're in the middle of three African countries and it makes sense because this one is exactly in the middle. The Center, to be exact.

Sam really got excited when I told him Central African Republic also goes by the nickname CAR.

This poverty-stricken country is exactly where it sounds like it is: Central Africa. Meat is not an easily accessible item, but when available, meatballs are rolled with spices and cooked in a peanut butter okra sauce. These are called Kanda Ti Nyma.

We've added salt to this dish and toned down the chili pepper, but most traditional recipes will add lots of heat and probably leave out the salt due to the scarcity of salt in Central African Republic.

Another version of these meatballs feature ground pumpkin seeds in the meat.

While cooking, Sam gives some really important safety tips and finds the undiscovered bridge over the Atlantic into Africa. A perfect way to drive to CAR (Central African Republic).

Don't miss Sam's reaction to one of our least pretty dishes so far and his star rating.
