This looks like something I love.
Akposy please can you share the contents of your Dough. I am particularly interested in the outcome of the dough. It's perfect.

The content of the dough is fish. I boiled fish with salt, pepper, seasoning and curry.
The fish was deboned and shredded by hands
I fried onions, some pepper and the fish alongside some spices till it turned brown…

kwinanitaa:


Did you make the fishpie yourself? Come on, you gotta drop the recipe.

Yes, I did

For the crust,
3 cups flour
200g cold margarine
Pinch of salt
1 egg
Cold water…add in bits till the dough comes together.

Mix flour together with salt and margarine
Work with your finger tips till it forms breadcrumb-like structure
Add in your egg and water (in bits, about 2/4 cups) till the dough comes together

luvlyoracle:

Is the meat raw? If yes wont it spoil before morning?

I know the reason for marinating it is so the ingredients could penetrate the meat(I might be wrong,I dont know)Whats the difference doing this and parboiling?

Took me all afternoon for me to get it right. Once again I thank the Almighty, my parents, one of my sisters, and chef training class teacher for the cooking skills.
I decided to put a little egusi and some okra in the pot. I used curry powder to colour the special Thailand noodles.

That actually looks very inviting right there in that plate!

Thank you for the feedback @Akposy
Just curious, I thought Baking powder would be an ingredient when baking. Please advice as it's just my thoughts and I stand to be corrected.
Do have an amazing week ahead.

Breakie: Waffles, eggs, shrimp, antibiotic-free sausage; Milk

So sausage has antibiotics in it?

You can actually make your own sausage.
Wanted to do that but haven't got the time yet.
Buy intestine, sausage maker and mix your minced meat with whatever.
Infact, check youtube. That thing is very easy to do.

I wonder why Nigerians don't make sausage. We just eat the intestines away. We waste food a lot in its primary state. Sausage industry is billion dollar industry and we are here looking for govt connections.

Dinner:

Amala with Gbegiri and Ewedu.

doscar:
Happy Sunday.

Nne, let's even start with producing butter, which isn't that hard sef.
And not to use raw milk for fura de nono only.

I tire for my country.
I posted a video here of what somebody did with cassava. We have so much. Trust me, we are really blessed. But nothing to show for it.

Cashew nut goes to waste. Mango(jam), banana, we can't even make avocado oil, name them.
Is it flowers for exportation?
Or original sugar cane sugar. Honey nkò?
We have loads of plantain but I have never seen plantain from Nigeria here. What about tomatoes like chopped, paste, or full tomatoe in cans. We can't even grind and package shombo( our diff types of pepper) in powder and export. Even dry pepper seeds na market. Habenero and scotch bonnet are very expensive here. They waste in Nigeria. The first pounded yam flour I ate years ago in my village was made in USA. Lol. What an irony. Fufu, at its cooking stage is packaged and sold to people. Yep, fermented cassava. Buy and cook and pound.
Have forgotten the country that exports it but not my precious Nigeria. Or is it ewedu. All the way from Egypt and some north African countries. We will rather come here to insult those eating fufu and ewedu instead of looking for ways to make millions from fufu and ewedu. What about sea food from South south? No Nigerian medicinal veggie is known outside Nigeria. None. Who will promote them? We are too posh for that
We always think of instant gratification instead of future.

Make quick money,build house and buy cars to pepper them.

We'll get there someday.

Lunch

I must share this very interesting cooking-chef- international restaurant owner's story that was born in Ethiopia. It's very inspiring.
Too much to copy and paste the article but will supply two good links and a short 10 minute YouTube video in this great thread of and for Naija chefs.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson was once told he wouldn't own a restaurant because he was Black

Baking powder as well as baking soda and yeast are leavening agents.
I don’t need my pie crust to rise. It is meant to be flaky. Baking powder is not needed

I will come back to respond and ask questions.

Meanwhile, we are not really posh. Many Nigerians are lazy, entitled and have failed to be creative and innovative. Most of us want instant money (yahoo & runs)

Sir it is not that we can't do all these.
Starting from individual homes
I love to do my things myself: home cooking,. DIY spices et Al

The gadgets are expensive.
Processing is time
We are all running after our day to day activities to earn a living.
It is easy to say because of where you are.
I covet what most display here. Esp akposy, cococandy,Preston and you.
But it is either I can't access some ingredients or I can't afford it

I have a friend who make flour for swallow from cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato (the orange, yellow and purple) cabbage to mention but a few but she is not into export. Her recent is carrot flour.
