• Poulet DG – Chicken Director General

    This Cameroonian dish Poulet DG reminds me a lot of Dodo Gizzard except gizzard is used in the latter. The methods are similar but Poulet DG somehow just feels healthier. It may seem that way because of all the vegetables you can incorporate into the dish. I mean you can still do same with dodo gizzard but oh well. This dish is really easy to make and you can go crazy with the types of vegetables you choose to use. I just used what I had at home. Carrots and green beans are also nice to incorporate into this dish as they add a certain level of crunchiness to it. I did not have them and was too lazy to go out to get some. Hope you enjoy this dish.
