Senomi:
Anty anty, my brother is searching vigorously for a wife o

This stew is way better than most igbo people stews that's always too acidic e.g slapping mouth or overfresh stew

Hahaha. I hope you know I am Igbo?
Anyway, that acidic taste is mainly from tin tomatoes. They don’t fry well. You know my people are not so into frying/oil.

That said, except for party jollof, I think tin tomatoes has outlived its usefulness. The sight if it troubles my soul now. I don’t even have it in my house and I haven’t used it in my stew in ages.

folake4u:


Wow, nice. We really learn EVERYDAY. Thanks for clarifying, I'd focus on adding more natural spices to boiling meat then.

As for cow leg, a friend adds fresh chewing gum when boiling it, she claims it makes the cowleg boil faster and makes it more tender.

Imagine oh! I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon sha, immediately after class.

You are welcome. I don’t know of fresh chewing gum sha. It is either I use patience or I use a pressure pot to cook it.

Wow! Congratulations!!

What about those imported foreign tin tomato paste? I heard they make stews taste better than our local tomato paste

Senomi:

I had a primary school classmate who usually brought rice and catfish stew to school the stew always looked raw and the catfish usually smells and the odour hangs all over the classroom during breaktime, I think her mother washes catfish without hotwater , most of my classmates would frustratingly run out of the classroom, I wondered how she and her family ate that and saw it as a normal thing.......and they were from imo

I currently experience that a whole lot, it's as if except for restaurant and bukas no one knows how to properly cook stew

Ah! How do people eat catfish with all that slimy body?

No wahala.


Thank you Ma'am.

Senomi:

Hmm, I don’t even care if it is imported from Cambodia or Ukraine. A good blend of tomatoes, tatashe and shombo would give you a red stew.

Also people do not know that different tomato shapes give different taste, colour and result.

Senomi:

True. I never eat rice and stew outside because I have stew-paranoia. Just give me swallow let me push it down and drink water.

And the girl usually smelled like catfish, it's like they usually ate it......... I wonder y her mother punished her like that

Senomi:

Wow! I hate that lingering smell of catfish though.
Chineke nna!

I wonder if I will ever have the patience to cook like this. I'm always in a hurry to leave the kitchen once I enter it.

Thanks for the steps dear. Stew looks delicious.

The difference between two meals is PATIENCE. Don’t ever be in a hurry to do anything, not even knacks. Take your time and unlock the next level.

pocohantas:


But talk true, if I didn’t state that I used boiling method, you for know on sight?

Honestly I wouldn't know, you really did well! Keep it up

All I see here is good food!
You must be invited for questioning.
Pocohantas you are tempting me oh.
Just from the look I can tell the flavors already. Na money kill this stew abeg.

One Pot Tomatoes Stew

See ehn, even if WW3 is going on, I will still find way to cook food and eat.

I have never made stew using this method, I have looked forward to it because it's more healthy than frying all the time. I will use this method this weekend and make a video. I just hope it turns out great! But all this meat ehen my power nor reach am

pocohantas:


Finally cooked that hideous chicken feet but I gave it out.

I had cow leg remaining from my afang.

Chicken from the curry sauce.

Bought N2000 shaki and panla N1500. Added everything and got this.

Feel free to make a video with the recipe. It would be fine, thankfully you have a nonstick. As long as you keep boiling, you would eradicate tartness and your stew MUST come out fine. Tag me when you create the thread biko.

Wait o, pocohantas you are Igbo? Unbelievable!!! No wonder you cook so well, welcome home my sister , i thought you were Ibibio/akwaibom!

Hmmm

MadamVanessa:



I was actually planning to prepare this to day, only for my sugar daddy to say that lately he has been eating spoon food, that he needs swallow. I had no other choice than to make him Okro soup with semo.

Poco is a very good cook though.

Wooow that ur sugar daddy is one of the luckiest man on eat.. u mean after eating that sweet okro he ill still eat u join . What a delicacy.
Wow kudos!

But Next time make him fufu not semo.
Pounding a sweet gal after she pounded fufu hits different
U wont understand why except u are spiritual.

My dear sister, I beg to differ. If work resumes at 8 and you woke up by 6, the scheduled morning nack will have to be hurried

Poco, I don't have the patience that you speak of. The kitchen is a dangerous place, don't you know? I had half my lower abdomen and thigh fried to tenderness last year by hot oil, so no, I spend 30 to 40 mins max in the kitchen and gerrarathere.

So, because you were so traumatized by your former classmate’s food smell, you concluded that all Igbos can’t cook stew eekwa?


Another reason for that too acidic taste in Igbo stews is that we tend to use a lot of fresh tomatoes with just some ata rodo (without balancing with tatase and sombo), and not allowing the stew enough time to fry out its water content.

Twasnt only just her, I have a lot of igbo friends, sometimes when I visit I eat in their houses, and it's like all their foods taste alike

Rubbish

pocohantas:


By the way, how do you fry your fish?
Do you boil before frying or just fry directly?
For this fish, I marinated first, then I coated it with cornflour and fried it directly.

Well done
It was from you I learnt about not using salt when boiling meat and chicken and it actually tastes better.
I wanted to ask if the same thing applies to fish too

These are the Epicureans.

The way u focused the camera on the pot of stew and ingredients, used to cook, ehn. It's really serious

Salivating already.

pocohantas:


That is fine dear. I didn’t cook it for you.

I guess he need a taste of it
