Grand mama rice with beef Cutlets

Grand mama rice as I call it or granny rice whichever way you choose to call it is a native rice that has the looks of jollof rice but it's very different from Jollof rice. I discovered grand mama rice way back in the 90's when a neighbor of mine regularly makes it for her kids and when I asked her what kind of style of cooking it was, she'd say it's grandmama rice, it doesn't require much effort just mix the ingredients and voila, you have the delicious rice and so I decided to try it out and got stuck to it.
Let me give you my recipe on how to make grandmama rice

Ingredients
1derica cup of rice for 5 servings
Smoked fish 2 (I use sharwa or titus)
Pepper (ata orodo)
Onions
Iru
Palm oil or groundnut oil (any wworks)
Cray fish or prawn (optional)
Meat (any of your choice)

Method
1. Wash your pepper and onions together (enough to suit the amount of food you are making, I used 50naira worth for 1derica and sometimes more because I love my rice hot and spicy) blend with a food processor preferably the manual not the electirc

2. Wash your Iru (locust beans) I used 100naira worth, Iru gives the food the native tasten wash thoroughly and ensure no stone particle is remaining

3. Wash your rice and keep side

4. Wash your fish,prawns or crayfish and set aside

5. Set the pot on fire, pour a considerable amount of palm oil(what I used for this), pour your grounded pepper and onions stir, add the Iru, salt to taste and seasoning of your choice, stir, add your fish shredded, prawns or crayfish and stir, allow to fry for some minutes then pour water enough to make the rice, add your rice, stir and leave to cook

6. Once cooked, you can add curry leaves (optional) before bringing down the food from the cooker, mix properly and serve

7. It's advisable to eat it with a glass of fresh juice to cool down the hot spicy pepper lol

NB- the food don't necessarily have to be hot and spicy, you can make it less however way you want it
Happy cooking,send me your pictures we you try it out! facebook.com/kamchesseneterprise

Spicy tasty chicken

Good morning lovelies, by popular demand I was asked to give recipe of grilled chicken, couldn't come up with a catchy picture of how the end product should be, so I got this online( picture above not mine) :) but it sure saved me great stress.
Everyone has their own method of cooking, baking, grilling and all. But today I would like to share with you my own method of making this spicy tasty chicken( grill chicken). Please note you can use turkey or gizzard any that appeals to you

INGREDIENTS
A kilo of chiken laps
Coconut milk
Spices (garlic, ginger, curry, thyme)
Seasoning cubes
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil or olive oil
Suya pepper

METHOD

Wash you chicken laps properly ensuring that no dirt can be found
Place them in a large bowl enough to contain
In a seperate bowl pour your coconut milk (quantity depends on how many chicken laps you want to grill, for example 1cup of coconut milk would go for a kilo of chicken laps)
Pour your spices in moderate proportions, add your seasoning cubes and salt to taste
Using a fork, poke some holes in the chicken, so as to allow the spice sink in during marinating
You marinate for 6hours

Grilling
Set your barbeque grill to how hot you want it, if you are using automatic, for those using Gas cooker grill let the flames be moderately hot not too hot else you have burnt chicken, for me I use the locally made grill outdoor grill :)
Now neatly place the chicken on the grill and allow to cook , regularly turning them on intervals,when it begins to show sign of dryness sprinkle your olive oil or vegetable oil on it, this makes it moist and juicy.
Once properly cooked, use a spatula to lift and place on a clean plate
Place the Suya mixture in a paper foil, I do spice my mixture with pepper irrespective of the fact that it has its own taste, now pick the already cooked chicken one by one roll them in the Suya mixture then place back on the grill to allow it sink in, always make sure you keep the chicken moist by oiling once this is achieved, you Have the spicy tasty chicken ready, serve neatly in plates or disposable foils plates
Please coconut milk is optional, you can use chicken brooth if you aren't a fan of coconut and also for those allergic to peanut please don't use Suya mixture, try fried tomatoes mixture it works perfectly, happy grilling www.facebook.com/kamchessenterprise
I usually take mine with kamchess africana drink, yes it's highly nutritious and sold In the office

Rice and Pepper stew

Hello lovelies, it's been a while. Yes I've been trying out recipes, well of course this is one of my favorite food, I love it, maybe because of the spicy fish, meat and the rest additives I include but either ways, it gets everyone, sniffing in and drinking water dues to its hotness and yet they can't stop asking for more lol!

So I would be sharing with you my own recipe on ho to make this sumptous stew.

Ingredients for Rice

Rice 1derica 

Water

Salt

Onions

Method

Wash the rice and place in a pot of water on your cooking gas

Let it simmer for 10mins

Bring it down and rewash with cold water till you can get most of the starch out

Put it back into the pot of water (just enough quantity to cook the rice), then place it on the burner to cook

Once the water is almost drained, cut a bulb of purple onion or any other onion you have( not spring onion)

Cover and allow it to cook for 2mins, by which the water in the rice is completely drained, bring down the pot from the burner and serve

Pepper stew

Tomatoes

Pepper (ata orodo)

Onion

Ginger, Curry,Garlic spices

Seasoning cubes

Fish

Meat

Iru(locust beans)

Palm oil

Salt

Egg

Method

Now for this aspect, I included meat and egg I didn't use it in the picture above because I was in a hurry, so for those that who are not, I advice you include them to get another tongue biting taste

For starters, I don't know the english name for the fish I'm about to mention Panla is what the Yorubas in nigeria call it. It's not mandatory to stick to this type of fish though I used it, you can also use mackerel, tuna any other fish that agrees with spice

I got my smoked Panla, washed them and seasoned them with the spices, I used 3 because of the quantity I was making, you can use more depending on quatity

Then get your already cooked and seasoned and fried meat, dice neatly and place in a plate, set this also aside

Peel your hard boiled eggs, wash with clean water and set this equally aside

Wash your tomatoes and peppers and onions, blend with a food processor, I used the regular hand blender is gives it this native taste.

Wash your locust beans otherwise known as Iru in yoruba, it's health benefits is enormous, set this also aside

Now wash your pot for stew and place it on the burner, turn the flame on, pour in your blended,tomatoes, peppers, onion and allow the water to drain

Once drained, pour your palmoil into the steaming mixture and stir 

Put in your spices, seasoning cubes and salt to taste 

Keep stiring till the stew begins to show sign on being fried

Pour your fish, meat, egg and keep stiring so the stew sinks into them 

Once that is achieved and your stew shows signs of properly fried sauce, add little water,cover and allow to simmer for 5mins

Then bring it down and serve with your rice

I love my food hot, I'm not a fan of cold food, well I ate mine with salad and cold kamchess Zobo, enjoy and don't forget to share your own food, stay blessed

Embeded bread with veggies

I've been so busy trying to put up dishes, working on various bead projects but I didn't forget the blog, I just needed to come up with good recipes for you to try
I call this bread picata but better still and simple, embeded bread with veggies :) let's get started
Ingredients:
Bread
Vegetable mix
2eggs
Mayonnaise
Spices (curry, thyme)
Seasoning (chicken flavor cube)
Salt to taste
3table spoon of oil

Method:
For the bread I use yale bread as shown in the picture
below

I used one loaf for this just in case you are making for two people you can use 2 loaves.

We start by washing, cutting the veggies, as you can see in the picture below, I used cucumber, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, onion .                                       

Put on your cooker, place your frypan on low heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, pour your veggies in the fry pan, with your spices and stir till it's properly mixed, pour into a plate.

For the next step you fry your eggs, now for me, I like my egg spiced, hot and delicious, now after frying your eggs we move to the next step which is the making of the bread

Slice the bread in the middle, to make it into two, then spread your mayonnaise over the bread, place the fried egg in between then add your veggies

Get a foil paper wrap the bread inside the foil paper, note you can use shredded beef or chicken instead of egg, depending on what you want.

Now place the already wrapped bread on your non-stick fry pan or a microwave and heat round for 5minutes.

Once properly heated you bring it out, place it neatly on a plate and serve with hot chocolate or juice, depending on what you want.

I love mine hot, so I take it hot with hot chocolate.

Let me have your feedback if you like it, also www.facebook.com/kamchessenterprise
