Greypencil dey in own jeje, you done go wake am. Hahaha. Very nice one, Glory! The younger women that are assumed to be lazy are doing a good job demystifying these old meals. Making them at home when they like.

I would suggest you roast the ehuru next time. It activates the smell and taste. Try it and see.

He is the oyel and pepper boyfriend. I called him to have a taste.

Thank you Pocohantas. Many young women are not lazy, we keep trying daily to improve our lives and that of our families.
It's unfortunate that some people will grade everyone into the same negative category.

I will sure roast the Ehuru next time.

Str8talk21:
Very tempting

Pls, dis Ehuru seeds what's function or usefulness?

It adds flavour and aroma.

quentin06:
Blender must be very good for this, did you add water?

No water added. The friction of the blender melts the groundnuts. It thickens afterwards.

Thank you. Being a foodie and an athlete, I always find your post interesting. Thanks for the update.

Something happened last night. I made 2 soups. Oha and bitterleaf following your pattern for the bitterleaf. I was told both soups are prepared same way except for the vegetables used. But the Oha didn’t come out well. I think the oil was too much. I’m thinking of buying Oha leaves and adding to the soup. I’m a Warri guy who likes trying different things in the kitchen whenever I get time from work or from the gym. Thank you.

Nice you were able to prepare both soups.
Is the Oha watery apart from the much pepper? If so add more thicnker like cocoyam and Oha leaves to balance it out.

Trying different things is nice, not long from now, you will be a pro at preparing the meals.

sugarbeesmith:
Please what is Ehuru seed in English

African nutmeg or calabash nutmeg.

Midas01:
Yeah I've been wanting to make this

Now you can. Its very easy. Please make small portions per time.

VeryWickedGoat:

"I started selling cooked Ofada rice four years ago. I sell majorly by hawking the rice round Yaba axis.
When there was no means to further my education after graduating from Dolphin High School in 2007, I started learning from my mother who used to sell Ofada rice.

I am married with a kid and I feed myself and my family with the money I make from this business. I make about N25,000 daily from the sales of the Ofada rice and my profit from this amount is about N6000 to N8000.

My wife has joined me in this business; she sells Ofada in Alaba market. Interestingly, my brother also sells rice. I cook the Ofada rice I sell myself.
We also cook at parties for people who are interested in having the Ofada rice at their events.

People laugh at me when they see me hawking the food. But then, I am 29 years old and I need to survive against all odds.
I learnt the art of sculpting and molding objects by the side too. I am Adeniyi Hammed, I come from Lagos Island.
This is my story!"



You are an unsung hero Hammed! Your small business which makes you 6 to 8k daily (120k monthly based on a 20 day month) is much more than the salaries many of those laughing at you make.

Soon it'll grow into a restaurant and you'll have a story of humble beginnings to tell. You're the type of person that deserves to be celebrated. Keep it up, bigger door will open sooner than you expect.

This is the sort of story I love to see... relentlessness against all odds. You will succeed!

So encouraging.

Konjiboii:
What tribe are you, I'm having an argument with my drinking buddies.

Which tribe is winning?

mariahAngel:
Even mackerel?
Too much of every good thing is not good anyways.

What fish do you consider the healthiest?
Ndi ocha si na o wu salmon.

Thank you for the other day deputy mummy
Happy Sunday to you nne.

MansoryMX:
Thank you very much but is the top of oven suppose to be opened like I should you or a cover part at the top got missing?

The set is complete. Place your marinated protein in the stainless steel, cover with the black pan in your hand. The liquid will collate at the bottom and you can use it in your meal if you want.

I hope I answered you well.

lukency:
What should be the size of my budget to afford this.

Funny enough I did this with less than 3k

Fish 2000
Plantain 500
Pepper, garlic, ginger, onions, curry leaves, etc, less than 500

Of course I had oil and gas at home before

NoToPile:
Loool you have said it all.

Its only the husband's enjoyment of her food they are seeing not even 1 of them has acknowledged the husband's provision to enjoy such.

Shey its the one that comes to Nairaland to complain about how his wife can't manage 20k monthly for family of 5 they will grill tilapia for?

You are funny sha.

Munzy14:
Not all .

The truth is those fish wey sweet pass others, can pose a health risk if you over look moderation.

Cat fish
Scubia(mackerel)
Tilapia various species.

All have enough of Omega 3 or 6 fatty acid..

That oil is the sweetness...But risky.

If we begin read all this things, mmadu ga anwu kwa with ujo..

These are not every day food that I will start stressing about the health benefits.
All good things are mine to enjoy

mhizandrea1:
Looks very delicious

Have you ever thought about starting a TV show, where you can invite guests, share recipes and talk about food generally
If you haven't, I think you should.

Thank you so much. I started this food vlogging recently and am seeing lots of opportunities already. Am taking things one step at a time considering other family responsibilities. I appreciate your suggestions a lot.

MansoryMX:
I have this barbecue oven home but my wife and I have never ever used it once. I want to ask a question. Is the tope of the oven supposed to be opened? Below is photo of it

Put all you want to grill on the lines and cover the lead to start grilling.
That way it will grill and still be moist. It will also collect the broth in the down part incase you need to use it.

BackToLife:
Do you do outdoor Catering Services like Weddings Ceremony, House warming Party Caterings, Birthdays,
Etc?

It depends.

Buddha3:
20K is a moderate sum for an outing of 2 to 4 people, if they're not heavy drinkers and crazy spenders as such.

Most decent hang out spots in Abuja give you such exquisite options that you'll certainly exhaust 20K in an hour of just sitting with your wife. I'm literally speaking from personal experience.

Thank you sir.

Str8talk21:
This is a perfect insight to what I am planning to do....using full chicken instead, stuffed with irish potatoes and the other ingredients mentioned and barbecued, with fried Irish potatoes chips and Stew sauce on the side lines.

Hei!!
Please send us pictures when you are done.

sammysmiles:

SirJerrie:

Money no be una problem at all.

You no dey go eatery?

Make una reach 5 go out and you will receive the bill after.

owobokiri:
My love for tilapia fish is out of this world

It's my best fish. I can have it grilled, boiled, fried.

Neduzze5:
The strategies to grow your YouTube Channel shared by nightfox01 should be considered.

It can probably be turned into a weekly show where you cook, and then invite some people to taste the meal.

They get to discuss over the meal both on the taste of the meal, or ask you questions bordering on your culinary skills.

They can equally discuss on pertinent happenings in the country in that week, be it crime, entertainment, politics, foreign affairs, entrepreneurship, money and others.

First, it helps you get longer YouTube videos that are not boring and can be monetised.

Secondly, you get more likes, subscribers and shares.

If you're concerned about security, it mustn't happen in your home.

You can consider getting an office space, and also taking on students for practicals so that the space is properly utilized.

That way, you get to earn both online and offline.

I might consider this for the future, very valid points.
My hands are really full now.

Thank you.
