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
