Lol
That is true o
Akidi
I ate that when I was a tot in Enugu growing up
I have no clue how it is made
Is it corn?

There is another one called nni oka

But seriously there are a few naija bakeries here that bake agege bread
I buy it fresh from the oven
Very hot
One one dollar for the small ones and 2.25 for the high ones
My kids love it to pieces
If you want it sliced you have to wait for it to cool

At least people still sell it. But that akidi is not seen any where.

I have a faint memory where she was turning it in a sauce. Looks like a palm oil sauce kind of.

Who knows akidi ? Edwife?

Breakfast

I'm forming healthy eating. Let me see how far I can go with this.

Breakfast

Lunch

Dinner

Yummy thread just finished series of cooking for the week. Two soups edikaikong and Afan.

I plan to be eating healthier hence bought some sea animals ie shrimps+crab jn the brown pot. Hie do I transform these things as hubby says it's a no no for him. Any suggestions on how to make healthy stew/sauce with these will be appreciated. @ Chilli : I know Akidi and it also ta :Dkes me down memory lane when G.mama used to cook it for us when we were kids( God rest her soul). Wash your Akidi and put enough water. It takes time to cook do better done on fire wood with low heat do it died not get burnt. Cook till tender like 3hrs could be shorter if you add akanwu/potash. Once tender, sieve excess water out with little left for the porridge, add enough palm oil, fresh pepper,salt, little ground onions,ugba,dryfish or stick fish. Stir with wooden spoon until is mashed in between then leave to boil with condiments for additional 10 minutes. Then bring down and good us ready! note: you need to prebiotic your stock fish or dryfish to tender before mixing.
I'm a hopeless foodie

Akidi I'd sold in the villages. We still have in mine though at least my grand aunt farms and she cultivated it.

I am on vacation so I eat crazy stuff while I am in funky countries

lepasharon:
My first pepper soup

Nice try. It looks watery next time you can actually add thickner like little flour or blended oat. scent leaves+uda takes it to another level

That snail menh!

Btw, thanks for the recipe. I'm guessing it's the black bean that's used for the Akidi?

To go with rice, salad in process
