Arinze yeah I was expecting u, we all love you, pls post ya address, so we can start planning ahead for Thanksgiving, its Nov already!! Muaaah

@Nimotalai, my dear I only use 1 onion, I've never paid attention to the ratio, if I was cooking a smaller pot, I'd probably use half of it.
As for the oil, I use enough where my stew is oily but not too oily that u've to dig in deep to get sauce, enough to cover the bottom of the pot, so it could be about 1/2cup to a cup (kitchen measuring cup)

@lopezino shitoh is Ghanaian pepper sauce (mixed with pepper, fish, spices) that is so darn good

i need to move in with nimotalai

[Sophia]

what i used:
1 ripe plantain
yam
maggi, 2 fresh red pepper, salt, crayfish, red oil

peel yam, cook yam with little water...this is important...too much water will turn it into a pepper soup
when the water starts boiling add salt and oil....i did not use much....when the oil is done add plantain,crayfish, pepper and other things and let it cook...then lower your heat to let it simmer.....watch it before it burns...if u want to add vegetable now will be the time then turn the heat off

try and cut urs bigger...



I like it hot

You are most welcome too, but I think you'll find we eat mostly cereal and bread and peanut butter in this house.

African Salad:

You can pretty much add whatever you want (corn,meat, turkey,) but the salad cream is what makes this yummy IMHO.

• sliced spinach or lettuce
• 3 hardboiled eggs, chopped into small pieces
• 1 small tomato or cherry tomatoes sliced
• ¼ cup green peas
• 1 cup carrots
• ½ cup (about 1/2 can) of baked beans
• 1 tblspn diced red onions (diced very very small)
• 2 tblsp. Heinz Salad Cream (if you can't find Heinz Salad cream, substitute Kraft Coleslaw salad dressing....close but it's not quite the same)
• 2 tblsp. thousand island dressing (you can use 4 tblspn of salad cream, but the salad will be really rich. I mix thousand island and salad cream)
• smoked salmon/fish sliced thinly
• salt & pepper to taste

-mix salad cream, thousand island dressing and finely diced onion together. SEt aside.
-mix remaining ingredients except eggs together very gently.
-add salad dressing and toss gently. (if you mix too roughly the lettuce will wilt)
-Add chopped eggs and fish last and mix gently.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper to taste. (not too much salt, or it will draw the water out of the lettuce and your salad will be too soggy).
-Keep regrigerated.

[omoge86]

eggplant stew(garden egg) w/ plantain

tomatoes (3raw and 1 16 or 24oz can of whole tomatoes)
2-3 large purple eggplants
1 hot pepper
palm oil
spices (curry, nutmeg, thyme, mrs. dash, maggi(beef flavour))
1 big onion
cow feet
1 whole rotisserie chicken(optional)

cow feet takes a while to cook, so u might wanna start that for a while b4 you start the stew, season however u season ur meats.
cut up eggplant and steam them in a pot until tender.
while eggplant is steaming, slice tomatoes and onions(small portion you need the rest for sauteing) and blend. (i like it chunky so you can still see it in the stew not too smooth)
in a pot, saute onions and blended tomatoes in palm oil let cook for 3-6 mins.
add eggplant ( i mash my eggplant a little but u can put it in depends on big or small u cut it up)
add curry, maggi (season to taste)
cook for 10 mins then add the cow feet and stock let cook for 5mins then add the chicken if you have it let it all cook for 5-10mins after you have adjust the seasoning and everything.

you can eat with Yam or plantain.
