10 Nigerian Foods You Must Eat Before You Die by midolian(m): 4:27pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
There’s a wide range of Nigerian foods available today. The wide variety of ethnic communities found in Nigeria means that the nation located in West Africa has a varied and rich culinary tradition. Like other West African countries, most Nigerian Foods uses spices and herbs in combination with palm oil or groundnut oil in order to create deeply flavoured sauces and soups often made very hot with chili peppers. There are some staples and ingredients that cross the country’s state borders and there are lots ofNigerian foodsthat are not mentioned here but these are some of the foods we recommend you try when next you visit Nigeria. Nigerian foods consists mainly of rice, yam, cassava, plantain and beans just to name a few. These are prepared and eaten with the various soups and sometimes stew recipes. Some Nigerian foods can also be prepared in jollof or porridge form. 1.) Agidi Jollof This delicious Nigerian food comes with a soft bone inside otherwise known as (Okpukpu Agidi) . It is a very light food that can serve for either lunch or dinner and can also serve as a snack. It is usually wrapped in a leaf known as Uma leaf but you can also put it in a plastic container, or even aluminium foil. It’s a low-cost food, all that is needed is just a few ingredients to prepare, This is a must eat food for every Nigerian home. 2.) Pap (Akamu or Ogi) Made from corn, this traditional food, when combined with Akara, Fried plantain or Fried Yam tastes so great. It is also a very nice and nutritious baby food. Evaporated milk added to Akamu, gives you a great taste. 3.) Nkwobi This is a super Nigerian delicacy simply prepared by mixing a well cooked cow foot or cow head with a spicy palm oil paste. Usually served in exclusive restaurants. It goes very well with any kind of drink. 4.) Tuwo Shinkafa This food has its origin from the northern part of Nigeria It is prepared with a special quality of soft rice. It goes down well with Northern Nigerian soups and some other Nigerian soups as well. 5.) Nigerian Groundnut soup (peanut soup) This is a very great substitute for Egusi soup and both share the same method of preparation. Some of the ingredients you need are: peeled groundnut, assorted fish and meat, palm oil, fluted pumpkin leaves, crayfish, salt and pepper. 6.) Ji Abubo (Yam and Vegetable Sauce) This is known mostly with the Igbo’s. One of the most delicious delicacies in Igbo land. 7.) Boli (Roasted plantain) This can come in two ways; the ripe and the unripe, whichever you chose, the taste is great. 8.) Plantain porridge For this particular food, its preparation is fast and easy but that doesn’t cancel the fact that it is very rich in iron especially with the unripe one. It goes better with dried fish, or if you like, meat. Vegetable is a must for this delicacy. 9.) Abacha (African Salad) Just as the name implies, it is a purely African Salad. Though most people still see it as a complete meal on its own, it is good to be taken as an in-between meal. Abacha is made from cassava. 10.) Ugba (Oil bean) Oh my! Ask an Igbo about this, he will tell you a better story than I would ever do! http://buzznigeria.com/nigerian-foods/ http://buzznigeria.com/nigerian-foods/2/ Lalasticlala Add yours pls..let's know the missing delicacies. 77 Likes 4 Shares |

JOLOF RICE NKO? Or is op reporting live from Uzbekistan, his birthplace? To talk about Nigerian foods and not talk about Jolof Rice is sinful, sacrilegious, repugnant, and infinitely abhorrent 207 Likes 10 Shares |
