The Best Things We Ate This Week

"Pounded Yam With Egusi Miami has very few African restaurants, which is all the more reason to support the ones we’ve got. And it’s easy to support a place like Moji, because the food here is great. Moji, a casual spot with a pool table and some counter seating, specializes in West African food. They don’t take orders over the phone, so I had to come in person to get my egusi with fufu (pounded yam) and jollof rice. Both were very tasty, but the egusi with pounded yam is definitely something I’ll be ordering again. Moji makes this stew very spicy, with hunks of braised meat, bell peppers, onion, spinach, and a big ball of fluffy pounded yam for dipping and absorbing." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
