While thinking of dinner tonight, I decided I was going to make a soup and grilled chicken wrap. I bought tortillas and this morning, I decided to use one of them to make a breakfast burrito.
The things in it are: eggs, tomatoes, onions, and avocado.
Did you use a press, because that wrap is immaculate!
obyikye: Unripe plantain and potatoes porridge. Unripe plantains. Potatoes. Crayfish. Okpeyi and palm oil. Protein of your choice. Scent. Seasoning and salt to taste and you are good to go.
cococandy: Fudgy brownies. Team middle piece or team crusty edge? I’m team crusty edge.
Did you also know you can substitute eggs with aquafaba? I experimented with the juice from chick peas and you can’t even tell. It whips up perfectly like egg whites.
cococandy: Wild blackberry jam. I made from blackberries I foraged in the village. So good with authentic French baguette.
All ingredients in the 2nd picture.
Strictly one teaspoon of the pectin. As for the sugar and chia seeds, you can use however much or little your heart desires. Or use natural sugar substitute like monk fruit and stevia.
dollyjoy: you have starch in your location? I presume you are in Delta. It’s made from the Water that settled from grinded cassava. Lol, I can’t explain the taste. But it’s unique
Oh, and during the process of making browning, if you make the mistake of letting the sugar cool before before the step adding water, you're going to end up with that sticky, hard, brown candy we grew up with that they used to sell on the street
cococandy: So good. They made everyone fall in love with it then they started charging an arm and leg whenever you go to buy at their restaurant
lol it's because people started hearing about it and all sorts of restaurants started selling it and now 1 lb of oxtail is like $15 at the grocery store
cococandy: I like hoisin sauce but I feel like the flavor won’t give “Caribbeanish” if I use it for this type of dish . What if it ends up tasting like Asian stir fry (which I love) but not as sort of a Caribbean inspired meal?
Believe it or not, there is a massive Chinese Jamaican population that speak with thicker accents than my husband from there. As a matter of fact, one of my family friends in Naija is half Chinese half black which is very common over there so it's incorporated into their meals.
HueyNewton: As a bi-national, will you say the average Nigerian meal is "bare", compared to that of Jamaica?
oh I'm 100% Nigerian Even though my family says otherwise Lol. My husband is Jamaican and the kids are half Jamaican. But to answer the question, our meals are almost identical. The only difference is that they always have veg. If it is not steamed cabbage and carrots then it's going to be callaloo which is basically tete. We don't always include veggies with our own meals. Also, we tend to cook our veggies a lot longer than they do.
cococandy: Oh I know this recipe with molasses and caramel as well. I used to have a Jamaican coworker that showed it to me. What’s your specific recipe?Thank you in advance
I was just being lazy.
Actually even easier than that. It's literally just brown sugar and soy sauce and the soy sauce is not even required. Alternatively, you can use white sugar and molasses (1 cup of white sugar to 1 tbsp of molasses). It's more about the technique than it is what goes in.
I like how she explains it because she has pictures showing you what it should look like during the process to avoid getting a burnt bitter taste. I do it pretty much exactly like her but I spike mine with a little fish sauce
Two notes. One, if you can wrap your ladle or whatever in parchment paper or foil do so. It makes cleaning up a lot easier after. Two. Use a much bigger pot than the amount you're trying to make and be very careful when adding the water to the melted sugar. Very slow because it WILL bubble up.
If you want a more complex flavor profile instead of salt, use dark soy sauce and fish sauce. A little goes a long way with this. You won't have to make any for a long time.
