No picture of any food has made me salivate like I am doing now. Like I want to leave work right now and make me some efo with eba. This looks so yummy. But Im a little concerned about you not using real naija ingredients. Will it taste the same? has anyone tasted alhajis food? does it appear like anything is missing but my man, your presentation is off the hook

You are too much padna...This presentation will be off the hook at a naija wedding appetizer section or even just placed at every table before the main dish is served, instead of the good ol meatpie, chinchin and sausage roll (but don't get me wrong, I still like those snacks

Alhaji Babasheri, if you go back to Nigeria and cater to the politicians; you will have them in your palms. You are an excellent cook!

Most of the ingredients are not hard to get, especially cow foot, the only exotic ingredients are Utazi/Bitter leaf and Potash/Akanwu and most Naija stores carry them. Try your local Naija store.

@ yessie.

Your niece is indeed a sweetheart. Tell her I say thanks and give her a big hug for me. A big thanks to you too for sharing that with me. It sure made my day.

Alhaji

I'm glad it made your day.

alhajibabasheri · 04-28-2010, 08:47 AM

@ Orobotobad, thanks for the kind words.

I try as much as possible to stay true to Nigerian dishes by leaving intact the basic ingredients, even the dish you quoted is almost 100% Nigerian, the only foreign items are Olive oil and spices.

The basic idea is to refine and beautifully present Nigerian dishes.

@ Biabeke, thanks.

alhajibabasheri · 04-28-2010, 08:51 AM

Thanks yessie. Sure sounds like she knows her food.

Hi nflow..

Just add a little water and pulse blend in a blender for a 10 - 20 seconds and rinse off the skin...depending on the quantity.

Portion it out if you're doing a lot because beans is a blender motor killer.

Are you making some anytime soon?
