[color=#9900ff]lol. 
What i see up there (and only the second 2 pics) are artistic and cool but they look more like fashion stuff (not even avant garde except again for the two).  I was looking to see how they would interpret a look or a scene. . .

Plus, Nah, I don't use tomatoes nor beans.

Alomo bitters? I thought Y'all said that thing is for S. . . . .

mike oscar:
You bet, unless bulala or rubbing of ears no dey your una household recipe .

I stole meat from our kitchen stew once and the smell lingered until my mum called us in one after the other. The little strand of goat meat in between my teeth plus the pungent smell of finger-licking stew had barely left me, so I gave up

But mum didn't leave no voice messages, She gave you a little sermon to help you digest the meat you'd swallowed in a hurry, then she adjusts her wrapper with one hand already firmly gripping your wrist before giving you her trade-mark ear-rubbing exercise. Dad did the bulala thing if He was in a good mood otherwise His silence had a weird writing on the wall for days because you never know what you might do next and you will be reminded of some past sin, My sibling and I remind them every now and then when we visit and they don't stop laughing about those times : .

Praise be to God that those discipline has helped to shape us. My kids (and most kids this days) don't understand all of this mummy's pot or not they just asked you authoritatively and if you say no, they start acting-up, mscheeewww

I'm so dead!!! https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif
Thank You . . . I needed this laughter.

Ileke should help with this Efo food, since she's Yoruba.

I need for Efo now, I have Spinach and dried shrimps, Palm Oil, Maggi, Chicken, Tomato Puree, Alomo bitters

So how do I cook efo with this?

Forgive ma ignorance. I don't know what Efo iro is.

dayokanu:
Mamagee of course.

How I do jollof rice is this[b] put water on the fire, add all the ingridient to the water, including tomato paste, pepper, maggi salt and boil . when its boiling add rice, turn the heat down and watch it burn away.

Like 1/5th of the rice gets burnt usually and I have problems washing the pot and cleaning out later[/b]

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=451442.msg6398637#msg6398637 date=1279313608]can I get the recipe plz? thank you[/quote]There are different types of pepper soup. Some need Tomatoes and others don't.

Ingredients

Meat(beef, goat, ponmo or beef tripe; cut into little pieces)
Onions (chopped or ground with pepper)
Ground red pepper
Ground crayfish(optional)
Utazi leaves, chopped (optional)
Salt
Water
Spices

Directions
Put the meat in a pot and add some water.
Add onion and salt and let the meat cook until well done but not too soft.
Add the pepper and spices, stir it well.
If using crayfish, stir that in as well.
Cover the pot and let it cook for 20-30 minutes.
If using utazi leaves, add it and let the soup simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.

Note . . . .


In the first step, make sure to add little water. since meat produces its own, it's better to add as you cook if needed,
Dry or fresh fish can also be used as a substitute for meat and for a different taste,
This is meant to be spicy but everyone has different pepper tolerance.

FL, You nor serz!!! Lmao @ girlish voice.

Lol!
Pepper soup.

It's F-R-E-E

dayokanu:
I have never seen Jollof rice cooked without it been burnt before.

Is it possible to cook Jollof rice without burning it?

Yes it is but it requires attention.

This is what I do . . . .

After adding all ma ingredients, I stir immediately [ before it starts boiling] and stir no more.
Then switch the heat to low. It works for me.
To whom would You be dedicating these meals? Which Lady is coming to visit?

Kidney(cooked and diced)
Curry/thyme,nutmeg (grounded),fresh garlic(ground),Onions(sliced)
butter/vegetable oil
Salt/seasoning(royco cubes are very good and smell nice too)

Drain
Pour fresh vegetable oil or butter into a pot

Dayo,

This is one of the few methods I use.
Jollof rice

INGREDIENTS
white rice
tomatoes and 1 bell pepper (without seeds if you don't like things too hot)
OR 8 ounces (or about ¼ liter) canned tomato sauce and 3 ounces (or about 90 milliliters) canned tomato paste
Onion
Salt
Dry Red Pepper (like Cayenne pepper)
Meat broth (about 1 cup or ¼ liters) or Magi cubes (about 4)
Water 


Instructions

Unless the rice is pretty clean, you will want to rinse it before cooking it.

Put the rice and water into a pot and place on high heat. (Some people prefer to boil the water and add the rice to boiling water. This is fine too.)

If you are using fresh ingredients (the tomatoes and pepper) blend them until they are smooth in texture (you can also grind the onion with this mixture).

Let the rice cook 10-15 minutes.

Add either the tomato/pepper mixture or the tomato sauce and tomato paste. If you have not added the onion, you can slice or dice it now and add to the pot, depending on how large you like your onions.

Add enough water to allow the rice to complete cooking (since you will not be draining the rice, it is better to add too little and check up on it often, than to add too much).

If you have any meat broth from boiling any meat, you can add it to this as well. Otherwise,
unless you are a vegetarian, suggest adding about 2 magi cubes for taste.

Add salt to taste, and about ½ a teaspoon of dry red pepper (as the rice is cooking, or as you are eating the finished product, you can add more of either one of these so I really suggest starting out small, also useful if different people who will be dining have different tastes).

Allow the rice to continue cooking until the rice is soft. If it is not dry at this point, then switch the heat to low to allow it to dry the excess water without making the rice much softer.
Once cooked, add more salt or pepper to it if you wish.


You can boil and fry chicken to go with this.
