Mutton can be either goat or an old sheep that has died!

ooh ok

thiendella:
Ah ok, we call it "bissap" , the puree we make with green bissap leaves is called "begej"

We also make bissap juice from the red flowers of bissap, the scientific name is "hibiscus sabdaripha"

WTH is the dish on the top pic? It looks like a mish mash of crazy food!

thiendella:
Mafe! We have it in senegal but I think it's a malian dish. Bambaras cook it with chicken and the sauce is much lighter than the senegalese one , like this,


In senegal we usually add pounded okra (mafe kanja), but I really don't like this version since the okra gives a viscous texture to the stew
But the version with mutton , without okra is one of my favorite dishes

It is a Fulani dish by origin, this Mafe :-D, btw I'm stealing this picture for my Fulani thread ROFLLLL

I didn't know that, I tough it was a bambara dishh

Sybellah:

Yup kinda,with "dah" the stew is darker and a bit heavier, depending on the quantity u add, but u still strongly feel the peanut. I like it with dah but i have never cooked it.
2 hours of "cuisson" This is a lot whenever the meat is ready am done , with chicken it goes quite fast but with beef or lamb it takes a while. I will try your recipe one of these day and tell u if i prefer it .

Hey gyal, do u know how to cook Thiebou good good? If yes please oooo give me your secret recipe

I have no secret recipe ohh , here's a video I found , this is not sphanish, it's catalan I think

But the most important is the part when you remove all your vegetables, the "bouillon" in your pot should be over salted and spiced, if not, your rice will be tasteless. And don't forget the "guedj", (c'est le poisson pourri ) you can also add tamarind "the non sweet one) and netetu 'i don't know if u have this in civ, it's the fermented fruit of the nere) and if ur not sure about the quantity of water always put less so u can add more water is there's not enough for the rice, if there's too much water you'll get a sombi "bouillie"

Easy yassa recipe

Is this not what Nigerians (Edos) call owo soup? Yam, somebody?

Nice photos, btw . . .Keep 'em coming.

The soup is also prepared in some parts of northern Nigeria. Its called miyan geda. Its prepared with vegetables too and if dah or bissap( H. sabdariffa) leaves are added its called "miyan taushe" which is usually served with tuwon rice or masa.

Correct that's the Hausa term for that, but it was brought to Nigeria by Fulani it is originally called Mafe.

Black Kenichi:
I see. OK Good Girl, what are you favourite African dishes?

Not my favourite, but among my favourite dishes - PILAU (mostly prepared in Kenya and Tanzania)
I had this over the weekend...
The rice is prepared with beef (after it's boiled for a while) and seasoned with a spice known as "pilau". It requires plenty of onions, garlic, ginger and tomatoes (optional).
Many people, me included, find it dry and so some soup or some "wet" accompaniment may be required. I normally like eating pilau accompanied by kachumbari - like in the pictures. Kachumbari is a salad composed of chopped raw onions, raw tomatoes, raw pepper and avocado with a little salt sprinkled on it.
The chillier the kachumbari, the better.

Black Kenichi, I'll be back with more. Will give you a recipe of stewed fish dipped in groundnut sauce or coconut sauce.

^^^^^ Not bad!
That "Kachumbari" isn't for me though. I don't really like salads and I can't stand onions!

Wow! I never knew.
I can't wait to make the soup, been dreaming about it since yesterday.

Same here, I just can't stand onions.

For some reason you Nigerians go mad over this stuff:


What does it taste like?

Toho with okrwa stew

(TOHO) is made of Corn, it comes originally from the Malinke

Palm Stew with rice, very good but I prefer it with plantain Fufu

Attieke with Fried plantain with fish, very tasty Yummie

Sybellah: Attieke with Fried plantain with fish, very tasty Yummie

That looks great except for the onions. I love plantains!

Sybellah: Palm Stew with rice, very good but I prefer it with plantain Fufu

Common man, see if u can fry the onion and the tomatoes together, u wont regret it, u wont even feel the strong taste of onions
