First post alert! I can't help but join the Nairaland new yam festival.
Yam and egg with fish sauce.

Welcome to the yam fest.
Is that new yam? I prefer frying new yam as it taste better.

BlueRayDick:
When it comes to trying new dishes, I scare easily. Even if you pay me to try something new, once I don't feel convinced I refuse.
In fact I stayed a full year in the north and never for once tried any northern dish.(Rice,beans,yam, bread and potato wan kill me that year. )

So I had the courage to do away with my fear today and tried afang soup. Gaskiya! E sweet, delicious, palatable, and all other things they use to describe good food.

Pix 1 - Poundo and Afang. (Efik and ibibio people Una dey Enjoy)

Pix 2- Dessert - Ice cream

Oga, enough of the intimidation, the topic says cook in your kitchen
BTW, that ice cream is calling my name, after I would have munched on those chicken

DCChaser:
Pancake

Not a fan of pancakes, but I dare say this looks yummy

kushercain:
E remain make agege pass

I don't need to wait for agege, just a cup of tea and that egg.

zicoraads:
Good morning everyone.

Plantain and eggs.

Those plantain look really ripe and would taste delish

BlueRayDick:
So I've been on some training 4rm work since Monday and I've been hooked on some nice cuisine. Below is what lunch looked like yesterday

Pix1-Appetizer. Chicken pepper soup to start the afternoon

Pix2 - Naija jollof rice, fried rice, salad(yes the real salad not some vegetables and carrot mixed with mayonnaise),croaker fish, and chicken.
NB: I could've taken moin moin with the salad, but a man's got to think about the end product. If I combine moin and salad right there and I get home killing my sef with flatulence, wetin I gain?

I love having those leaf moin moin and salad @ parties or outings. The farts that come after that are just willing prisoners of war

JewelStone:
Last night's dinner: atama soup with eba.

It's similar to banga soup and so yummmy

I know it's just 8.50am here, but I don't mind having this for breakfast.

Yuneehk:
Oh baby. Sure tastes as good as it looks

It does

eyinjuege:
I'm not the best with recipes, and pls don't ask me about measurements. I just use my eyes to gauge every ingredient
1. Boil your garden egg, and then remove the skin ( for the green and white garden eggs)
In my own case, I used aubergines- purple egg plant, and they were very large so I grilled them so it would cook, and the skin would be easy to peel off.
2. Mash the boiled or grilled eggplant. Either use a spatula or spoon, or whatever you have
3. Put palm oil on fire, and when hot, pour in your chopped onions.
4. Let that fry for a while, and then add your already BOILED blended pepper (I use blended tomatoes, rodo- habenero, onion, and tatashe). Let that also fry for a while
5. Put your seasoning - knorr, Maggie or warefa
6. Add your blended crayfish or soaked dry fish or whatever nice meat you prefer. You can avoid this step if you're not a fan of all these in your sauce
6. After 2 minutes or so, add your mashed garden egg and let it fry with everything
Note- make sure you boil your pepper/tomato after blending, so it will be thick with little or no water in it.

Thanks for the recipe, would definitely try this.
Shey I have to use ripe garden egg or the fresh green ones?

DCChaser:
Just a bite, you gonna ask for more

I know, you don't need to rub it on my face

zaynie:
Oshey!
Hot smoking yam on da beat!

eyinjuege:
Yam and garden egg sauce, made with palm oil. I used the aubergine variety, as that was the only one available
I also added some salted dried anchovy fish, a lot of it actually.
Deliciousness
The sauce is also nice with bread or plantain

Please give me your recipe for that garden egg sauce, mine never looks that good.

cococandy:
I want yam too

Pele, will way bill some for you.

DCChaser:
Breakfast

My goodness, I can literally taste that yummy looking doughnut

Yuneehk:
Take pictures please. I'd love to see it

Here it is
@ zaynie, I have joined the fest o

Yuneehk:
Why's here been quiet since morning? Probably because it's a Monday so everyone's busy.
I haven't had yam in months! I did today, and enjoyed my meal

Definitely making this for breakfast tomorrow.

zicoraads:
Was lazying around most of today, so when I summoned the courage to go the market, I decided to buy maize and coconut and some apples. Ate this first as I was preparing vegetables. Pictures of the veggies coming
up.

Please tell me what the apple is doing in that mix? You want to change the taste of my beloved corn and coconut

Julyborn:

jagugu88li:
The owner showed up with friends and bigger brother to inform me it's his birthday. Had to do the needful. I am growing my own husband In return, his parents caught a rabbit for me. Will cook that thing and won't be sharing

You lost me there?

Correct me if I am wrong. Goat meat is called chevon and sheep meat is called lamb, right? That's lamb neck and gnocchi. Gnocchi is pasta and 1 of the ingredients of making gnocchi is potatoes.

I actually thought that was a whole a chicken from the shape.

jagugu88li:
Me and rice are not so close. We do manage to put our difference aside, once in a while though .

I give glory to God Almighty for adding another year to my age. All I want to say is thank you Jesus. His mercies and faithfulness to me are beyond my comprehension. He's beautiful in all situation. He has kept me this far. Hubby's birthday and wedding anniversary, all in this month. Seven years of marriage and still counting, this can only be you God.
Jehovah God, you're too faithful!
