I just had a sudden craving for grandma stew. The type they usually prepare and offer us in the village whenever we traveled. Though I didn't make mine watery like they do in the village. So I decided to make it today.

Below are recipe and steps of preparing the stew.


Pics 1... Main ingredients used for preparing the stew., Fresh tomatos and pepper, chopped ginger, vegetable oil, tomato paste and dried fish. Other ingredients used were seasoning and dry red and black pepper.

Pics 2.. white rice already done on fire.
I simply washed rice with tepid water and added to boiling water to cook. I like my rice a bit sticky so, I didn't bother washing off the starch.

Pics 3 pouring and heating the vegetable oil in a pot.

Pics 4.. Adding chopped onions to heated oil.

Pics 5.. added Tomato paste to the fried onions and ground red and black pepper. And let it fry for some time.

I like my stew or food generally to be very hot and spicy.
I always add ground pepper to my Tomato paste to get rid of that sour taste it comes with.

Pics 6.. after frying the tomato paste, I added the chopped fresh tomatos and fried some more.

Pic 7 I added the fish and fried some more.

8. I crushed some seasoning, added a little water and let it boil.

Glad I can still hear from you..the first picture look good too..looks like you have some kind for cooking and all...
Trust you are doing great too?

Which one be grandma stew?? Just say you cooked Brooklyn stew!! And please the pictures look irritating just like the food..

You don't know how to cook and present food. Sorry no sorry.
Your food, the preparation and presentation always look like sacrifice for a violent god.


I'll advice you follow Chopchopfine, so you can learn some ethics of cooking.


Shalom.

Pics 9. I let the stew dry and served myself a bowl of village white rice and stew. Different angles of the food pics. Feed your eyes.

Voila! Food is ready!

Omor... This food is so delicious and spicy. The dried fish took it to another level. I love the outcome.

I didn't feel up to it. Besides in my village we don't add the dawa. Its just the way I made it.

OK, but that locus beans is incredible inside food, it's a good spicy ingredient. so I recommend you to try it one day
