Mayonnaise Salad

4-5 potatoes 2 carrots 100-150 g of green beans 1 cup of frozen green peas 10 olives 1 small can of hearts of palm 1 jar of mayonnaise 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional) 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion (optional) 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley (optional) salt and black pepper to taste

Rinse the green beans, cut them into small pieces and cook them in water and salt. 4. Cook the green peas in water and salt. 5. Drain the palm hearts and cut them into small pieces. 6. Cut the olives into small pieces. 7. Once all vegetables are cooked, drain the water: allow them to cool down and save them for later. 8. Peel the cooked potatoes and cut them into small pieces. 9.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of oil 1 (small) chopped onion = 1 tablespoon 1 (small) clove of crushed garlic 1 cup of rice 1 1/2 cup of boiling water 1 teaspoon of salt
Preparation: 1. Sauté the onion and the garlic in hot oil. 2. Add the rice and stir-fry well. 3. Add the water and the salt. 4. Let the water boil for some minutes. 5. When the water level drops, cover the pan and lower the heat. 6. When the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let the rice rest for about 10 minutes. 7. Put the rice in a bowl and serve it.
Brazilians rinse and drain the rice thoroughly before cooking it.
For every cup of rice, use 2 cups of water. More water gives you softer rice while less water gives you firmer rice.
You can use only onion or both onion and garlic. Garlic adds flavor.
You can also add some chopped parsley and spring onion to the onion and garlic. Instead of water, you can use home-made chicken broth.
Instead of salt, you can use a chicken bouillon cube. I don't use chicken bouillon cubes because most of them contain MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate).
Rice with carrot or tomato are also popular in Brazil. To make rice with carrot or tomato, just add a chopped carrot or a chopped tomato and stir-fry it with the onion and garlic.

Ingredients: 1 small can of tuna (185 g.) 4 spoons of mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste parsley and lemon (optional) 1 package of toast or cream crackers
Preparation: 1. Drain the tuna. 2. Put the tuna in a small bowl. 3. Add the mayonnaise. 4. Add two lemon drops, chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste. 5. Mix it well and serve it with toast or cream crackers.
I prefer to use tuna in brine, but you can use tuna in oil. I love Hellmann's mayonnaise and "Melba" toast, but you can use any other brand. You can also make delicious sandwiches with this tuna spread.

Ingredients: 4 beefsteaks 1 clove of crushed garlic finely chopped parley salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 beaten egg and bread crumbs to coat oil for pan-frying 4 slices of ham and 4 slices of mozzarella cheese 1 package of tomato puré
Preparation: 1. Pound the steaks with a meat pounder. 2. Put the steaks in a bowl. 3. Season the steaks with garlic, parsley, salt and black ground pepper to taste. 4. Cover the bowl with a plastic film. 5. Put the bowl in the fridge for 1 hour or longer. 6. Deep the steaks in the egg and then coat them in the breadcrumbs. 7. Pan-fry the steaks in hot oil until golden brown. 8. Put the steaks on a ovenproof baking dish. 9. Put a slice of ham and a slice of mozzarella over each steak. 10. Pour the tomato puré over the beefsteaks. 11. Bake the beefsteaks in heated oven (350 F) for 20-30 minutes and serve.
A meat pounder will help tenderize the meat. Choose any kind of tender meat (veal, minute steak, etc.) that you like. You can replace beefsteaks with chicken breast fillets. If you wish, you can replace the tomato puré with a home-made tomato sauce.

You have got guts posting your native recipes here!!!!!! don't think nigerians are into any food other than their own.  the last part of your statement is close minded, how many nigerians do you know? don't generalize a culture. I know plenty nigerians that enjoy foods from other culture. Hell if you where to go to lagos now you would see nigerians eating in chinese resturants or having a burger or whatever.
