To the average person who cooks, there is a <strong>general method of cooking stew in Nigeria</strong>, which involves blending the pepper, boiling and/or frying. At least this is the method I have always used to make fingerleaking stew...lol.

But a Nigeria Lady on micro blogging social networking site Twitter has shared an interesting, different method, which I have never heard of, prior to seeing her tweet. According to her, instead of blending then boiling the pepper, she boils the pepper raw, then blends.

Some curious Twitter users asked some valid questions, amidst admitting that it was a cooking method they had never heard before and were willing to give it a try. One of the questions was whether or not the pepper would loose all its nutrients in the pre boiling process. The Lady, Louisa Agunbiade responded:

When you boil after blending , it’s exactly the same thing as boiling before blending…you are not required to boil after you’ve blended it…just proceed to make your stew…you cook it for about 10 to 15 minutes so there’s no nutrient getting lost.

Another Twitter user asked if she blends the pepper with the water used for boiling, to which she responded:

I actually let mine get burnt a kit for extra flavor, doesn’t need extra water since it’s soft from boiling, but if it doesn’t blend, add jut a drop of water to get it going .

It is interesting to note that in some responses to her tweet, some Twitter users while acknowledging the method suggested that one can take this method of cooking stew a step further. They opined that the taste of the stew gets an even better flavour by grilling or even baking the pepper before blending instead of cooking. Others suggested that after the boiling, the pepper should be grated or manually grinded using local means or grinding stone for even better taste.

that's exactly how I make my stew.

This method contradicts simple science, because it should be that the more surface area exposed to heat, the faster the tomatoes would dry.
Now if you blend the tomatoes first, more surface area is created and more efficient use of cooking energy is guaranteed

Then boil, filter and start cooking.
Very simple and easy.

What then happen to the water inside the tomatoes. Does it expelled during this stage. If it doesn't, what is the point? I will have to steam dry again.

That is why I filter the water down and start Frying to avoid wastage of gas.

Makes no sense

You boil ...then you blend... Then you boil again

Why not just blend then boil

Saves time and gas

One has to be economical in this bubuhari dullardino next level
