I know what you are thinking, really? Ponmo salad? Why not! If you eat potato, fish, beef and chicken salad then ponmo salad shouldn’t sound weird to you at all. Ponmo (cow skin) is well loved by all; it is affordable and has been nourishing lives since 1800. Lol. This simple recipe is another twist to Nigerian salad.
Yam and plantain frittata
Frittata is an egg dish that can be eaten as a main meal or brunch. It is slightly different from an omelette as you have to finish a frittata off in an oven. Also all the ingredients used are folded in the egg and cooked. You can choose any filling you want and make it your own. For this dish I chose plantain and yam,
Mango Lemonade
Please tell me to stop bragging about the weather here in Manchester, Oh My God! The past week has been so good and warm. Manchester is known for unfair weather, especially incessant rainfall. If you are planning a day out here, you have to think again and hope it doesn’t rain. I remember Carlos Tevez severally moaning about the weather too
Roasted tilapia with harissa paste
This is a quick follow up post on my Nigerian styled harissa paste. Like I mentioned in my previous post, harissa is your go to sauce for fish, meat, chicken and so many other things.
I made this fish in half an hour all thanks to the readymade condiments and some other few ingredients found in the pantry.
My Nigerian Styled Harissa paste
Permit me to call this version of harrissa mine i.e. I personalised it ‘ajokes harrisa paste. Harrisa is an aromatic paste made from different types of dried, roasted chillies and herbs. It is spicy and packed with fragrances.
Gizdodo (Dodo Gizzard Recipe)
This recipe is simply a medley of fried plantain and gizzard. I was about making this when I realised I could add one of my favourite beef part to the recipe. The end result was amazing; imagine having all what you love in your mouth all at once. Giz-dodo is a popular side dish served at events and homes.
Zobo Drink (Hibiscus Drink)
The weather is getting warmer and better by the day and I really wish it stays this way. Lawd! I can’t deal with the cold weather. Last weekend, the weather was very fair to us and I decided to grace it by making a very popular drink I grew up having back in Nigeria, Zobo. Zobo is a dried type of leaf and it is also called hibiscus leaf or sorrel and it can be easily sourced from the market.
Easy Mackerel tomato stew
If you have not been using uziza to cook, you don’t know what you are missing. I recently started to add uziza leaves to some of the dishes I cook and it has lifted every dish I used it in. I made this tomato stew recently and yes I have to share it with you my fellow foodie. It is very easy to make
Easy banana and coconut loaf
My friend and her son visited us sometime before Easter and I, being my naughty self got her to bake with the kids before she left. She couldn’t say no and yes it was really fun, the kids loved every bit of it. My daughter and her son were just over the moon and bless her she was really patient with them.
Semolina Pancake and Caramelised Banana
Whilst growing up, I remember my mum making pancakes for us with corn flour. Truth be told, it is one of the best pancakes I have ever eaten. It has a taste I can’t really describe but it is divine.
Recently, I was looking for what to cook for breakfast and pancake came to mind. I thought of the closest thing to corn flour and I decided to use semolina powder. They are quite similar if you ask me.
