Interesting mix. I haven't tried mixing Mackerel fish with anything.

Please don’t let the food confuse you, abeg 😂

It’s not rice or garri, it’s rolled semolina. Tiny balls of rolled steamed semolina. I only buy the Golden Penny brand. Tastes like rice to me but … like rice made into very tiny balls.

I boil water proportionate to the amount of couscous. Water that isn’t much more than the couscous. I add a little salt and oil. Then I add the couscous. Cook at very low heat. I make sure it doesn’t get too soft because the couscous gets soft very easily, without care, it will gel together and turn to semo.

Next… I pour a small amount of oil into a pan. Fry plenty onions. Then add whatever I wish, which might be fresh or dry pepper, veggies, fish, any nice extras wey God don bless me with that day sha. Add seasoning too. Once the sauce is ready, I add the couscous. Fry it all together and let it steam for like ten minutes.

That’s all.

Then if you still want stew or vegetable soup or whatever soup you prefer, you can serve that on top of it or by the side.

Like I stated earlier, it’s like rice to me. The better option to rice (since I don’t really like rice).

Jollof rice, beans, spinach and fish.

Nobody cooks bananas but they were a nice dessert, if you can call that dessert.

Purple, please just boil spag or yam.
This sounds like serious work, but I am impressed by the process.

Is the highlighted step compulsory?
Because that is where I got lazy.

Oh, you can simply make it like jollof rice or white rice, only that you’ll use little water.

I just tried that method to make the couscous nice and everyone liked it. Whenever I make couscous I have to do it that way because they love it.

You don’t need to do too much ….

I totally expect you to be lazy at that point, the work is annoying 😅

Beans and Yam with Kpomo

Special 😋

This reminds me of how people on here keep saying people shouldn't eat kpomo/ponmo or that it's weird (silly), and that reminds me how:

- People throughout the Caribbean eat it. But it's in soup, and includes part of the foot too.

- I think that this is the reason Black Americans eat pig feet. They think it's "slave food" (undesirable stuff given to enslaved people) that people kept eating, but I think their ancestors substituted one thing for another.
