Omo the process no be here o!

African Locust Bean, is the secret behind the making of ‘Iru’ by Yorubas, ‘Ogiri Okpei or Dawa Dawa’ by Igbos, the perfect seasoning used in sauces, soups and stews. If you are not used to the “funky” aroma of Ogiri, you might be taken aback, but the deep savouriness it brings to dishes, especially if first cooked in oil, will leave you impressed. This is one ingredient in soups you can’t miss even if you were miles away. The aroma is bound to keep you on your toes while cooking. Iru is incorporated in soups like Egusi/Oha soup, Efo Riro, Onugbu soup, Ofada sauce, and a crucial ingredient in the preparation of African salad (Abacha).

Ever wondered how these local seasonings are made? Well, we are glad you stumbled on this post as we will show you how these various nutritious and healthy local condiments are made.

Iru/Dawadawa

Sort the locust beans to remove any foreign particles. Soak the locust beans in hot water and leave for seven days or boil for about 8 hours.
Place the seeds in a mortar and pound with a pestle to remove the hull from the seed. Sieve off the chaff. The cleaned seeds are then steamed and spread inside a calabash filled with wood ash and covered with leaves.
The calabash is covered and wrapped with clothes or sack for about 24 to 36 hours for fermentation to take place. Dawadawa is then pressed into cakes, in the form of discs. This can now be used as a condiment for soups or stews. This seasoning is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and other nutrients.
Ogiri Okpei

Ogiri Okpei is a fermented, mashed and compressed locust beans, mostly used by the Igbos.

The seeds of choice are first sorted, washed, and cleaned thoroughly in clean water. Note; you can use Egusi seeds, fluted pumpkin, Mesquite seeds, castor oil seeds, or sesame seeds.
Cook the seeds until they get softened so that the seeds coverings can easily peel off for easy removal. Afterward, wash the seed and pour it in a sieve to drain excess water.
Then add the seed into a vessel then cover with local leaves like plantain leaves and allow to stand for at least 4 days to undergo fermentation.
It is optional to place the vessel or jar under the sunlight during the process of fermentation to hasten up the fermentation process.
Once the fermentation process is complete, ground the fermented seeds into a smooth thick paste, then mould into small balls and allow to dry under the sun.
Once the Ogiri okpei is sun-dried, it is then ready for usage.
Ogiri Ijebu/Egusi

This food flavouring condiment is consumed mostly by the Igbo, Ijebu and the Ondo tribe. While this may not be a popular seasoning, the aroma it gives our soup especially the Egusi soup will leave you wondering where you have been all this while to have missed a whole lot on the delicious taste of this condiment. To prepare this Ogiri;

Boil melon seeds until it becomes very soft and meshed.
Wrap the mashed melon seeds tightly in banana leave and leave it to ferment for 5 to 7 days.
Place the fermented mashed melon in an earthen clay pot and cover with jute bags to provide low oxygen tension.
Place the wrapped fermented mashed melon on a wire mesh and smoke over charcoal heat at a distance for about two hours before using it to cook.

This is a mouth-watering and easy Nigerian delicacy, it is incredibly popular. Babies and toddlers love it; the sliminess helps them swallow with ease. One of the beauties of making this specialty is that you can prepare it all your own way; with or without adding vegetables. Pumpkin leaves (Ugu) and Bitter leaf are the most common vegetables used to prepare this sumptuous meal. However, today we decided to prepare it with our Tiger Basil Leaves and it came out amazing. Let’s head over to Tiger kitchen for an amazing cooking experience.

Ingredients

1 Cup blended Ogbono
4 Cups stock Beef
Meat Tripe, cow skin or Fish of choice
1 Cup Stock Fish
Salt to taste
Larsor Beef Seasoning
Tiger Chilli Pepper Powder
Vegeta Onion
1 Tbsp Crayfish ground
Ugwu
Tiger Basil Leaves
3/4 Cup Periwinkle
1/3 Cup Palm Oil

Instructions

Grind your Ogbono seeds finely and set aside…

Wash all the meats you’ll be using thoroughly.

Then, set a big pot on low heat, add in the tougher meats, in this case, the Shaki, Cow leg and Ponmo, add Vegeta Onion and Salt to taste. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. This helps to release the meats’ natural juices.

Cut the beef rinse and throw into a pot. Add Salt, Larsor Beef Seasoning, Vegeta Onion and Tiger Chilli Pepper Powder Leave to boil for about 20 to 30 minutes depending on how tender you want the meat to be.

Once the meat is almost done, add the stockfish and cook for 5 minutes or till soft.

Add the blended Ogbono seeds to the boiling meat: Be sure you have enough stock in the pot. Stir very well until the Ogbono is well dissolved in the stock.

Stir in the periwinkles, crayfish, and Palm Oil and leave to cook for another 5 minutes.

Now turn down the heat then add Tiger Basil leaves. Leave to simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Then add Pumpkin and cook for 2 minutes. Serve with your favourite swallow like Eba, Amala, and Pounded Yam.

Adding Tiger Basil Leaves to Ogbono soup is a game changer! Try it and let us know if you enjoy it.

Bon Appétit

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to bite deep into the society, we have deemed it fit to gist about the “not-so-funny” ways people wear their masks. While the masks make us very uncomfortable sometimes, health professionals recommend we wear them often and correctly when out in public. While we hope for the pandemic to be over, let us follow this health expert counsel to avoid making the most common mistakes when wearing facemasks. These are regular errors we make daily and should try to avoid them.

1. Face mask only covers your mouth/tip of your nose.
According to health experts, wearing a face mask to only cover your mouth keeps you at risk of becoming ill or making someone else ill. In addition, if an infected person’s mask is just covering the mouth; respiratory droplets can emanate and cause further spread. If the mask does not cover your nose, you also risk contamination from the mask itself, which collects germs and droplets on its exterior. Place the facemask on the bridge of your nose, to create the best seal. Placing the facemask at the tip of your nose gives enough room for air to penetrate. That is why health professionals recommend that the mask sit on the bridge of our nose and not at the tip.

2. You are taking it Off Wrong.
When you are done wearing the mask for the day, there is a chance you could contaminate yourself taking it off. Always wash your hands before taking off the mask. Do not touch the centre of the mask. Take it off holding the strap and dispose of immediately. Afterwards, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as the virus on your mask could get on your hands.

3. Wearing the Wrong Size
If the mask you are wearing does not fit, it is not effective. If it is too small, you are leaving either your nose or chin exposed. Virus particles can get in through the side openings. The mask should be snug against your face! This goes for kid masks as well.

Many of us are several weeks into stay-at-home directives from our governments and health officials. For many, this lockdown has translated to sharing a confined space with your partner while navigating new stressful issues including working from home, sudden unemployment, child care and the never-ceasing uncertainty. The good news is; the lockdown has allowed us to spend time with our family and catch up with friends over a phone conversation. These are a few ideas you could explore at times like this:

Acknowledge strengths
Try to acknowledge one another’s strengths. What special skills does your partner have to get through hard times? If your partner is the one making homeschooling schedules for the kids or going for grocery shopping while you work, let them know they are appreciated and compliment their ability to handle difficult situations.

Cook a special dinner together
There’s nothing that quite warms the heart like a home-cooked meal. If you’re completely new to cooking, don’t jump straight into the deep end to try and cook up a feast. You can always opt for simpler dishes such as simple jollof rice, toasts, fried plantain, and eggs.

Cheers to a night of celebration
A good bottle of Bree Merlot Red wine can be a great romantic touch to your meal. Challenge yourself by experimenting with your cocktail and mocktail concoctions. Set up your very own ‘bar for two’ to make it extra special.

If your partner is the one making homeschooling schedules for the kids or going for grocery shopping while you work, let them know they are appreciated and compliment their ability to handle difficult situations.

Cook a special dinner together
There’s nothing that quite warms the heart like a home-cooked meal. If you’re completely new to cooking, don’t jump straight into the deep end to try and cook up a feast. You can always opt for simpler dishes such as simple jollof rice, toasts, fried plantain, and eggs.

Cheers to a night of celebration
A good bottle of Bree Merlot Red wine can be a great romantic touch to your meal. Challenge yourself by experimenting with your cocktail and mocktail concoctions. Set up your very own ‘bar for two’ to make it extra special.

The Holiday is different from every other break. We were already on a 14 days ‘Stay At Home’ and Easter met us still on lockdown, and when it’s time to cook, it’s really a tough one considering having to deal with kids and their tantrums. Although cooking is a fantastic family activity, and there are many ways to get kids involved no matter how old they are, rather than play all day long! These steps are just what you need to get the kids involved in the kitchen.

Begin with Appropriate Expectations: Before starting anything, you must have the appropriate expectations of what the children can and cannot do at their age and level. It’s also a smart idea to have another adult in the kitchen to help you keep an eye on your young chef.

Measure and Pour: Young kids can watch as you measure wet and dry ingredients, explaining the terms “cup,” “teaspoon,” and “tablespoon.” Once you level the dry ingredients, your child can pour them into a bowl. This is a great time to practice counting (to keep track of how many cups or teaspoons are already in the bowl). They can learn some cooking basics and use their math skills to help combine ingredients for recipes.

Stir and Combine: Teach them the practice of stirring and combining dry ingredients using a wooden spoon, a fork, or a spatula. They can learn to use different techniques; beating or whipping ingredients using a whisk or fork. When they stir ingredients together, teach them to scrape the sides to incorporate everything.

Now that we no longer doubt that Corona Virus outbreak has gotten to Nigeria and we would enter 14 days of isolation, this is not a time to be depressed but stay thankful to be alive. So, take this as a guideline and a host of suggestions on how to stay sane. Let’s get to it immediately.

Be Regular: Whether you live alone or are under quarantine with the entire family, 14 days of homebound life requires some semblance of a schedule, daily exercise, and a working routine. Try to get up around the same time every day, say your prayers, do some workout this time, meet your daily quota of steps whatever it takes to get your heart pumping. Whatever does it for you, get moving. Walking not only counts as physical activity but also provides some mental health benefits. Eat right, get at least 8 hours of sleep daily and drink lots of water.

Work from home: If you can work remotely from home, the lockdown should not grind the wheel of the industry into a total halt. You could set up a central communication hub so that you can collaborate with your team while in quarantine. However, strike a balance, do not overdo this. Make sure to talk 3 minutes walk/stretch for every 30 minutes you sit.

Stay Up-To-Date With Trends: This is where you put your positive use of social media to test. Join webinars and Facebook Live Sessions to keep up with the latest industry trends, upcoming soft-skills training program, and tips that will help you through your remote working process. When it comes to hobbies, play puzzles to help clear your mind and offer a respite from your usual screens.

Experiment with different recipes: If eating is your escape, you can make use of the extra time now that this outbreak has forced a lockdown. We suggest baking one new recipe a day, one good meal a day, for lunch or dinner. Thanks to YouTube, you can watch videos and put your skills to test. Just go ahead to make loads of mouth-watering, healthy meals that will boost your immune system and further protect you from the virus.

Catch up with friends/family: Remember that friend/aunt/cousin you haven’t checked on, now is just the perfect time to place that call across to check upon them. While we might not know how much we mean to each other in the world of cut-throat academics, business and career, there is so much to talk about. You might as well schedule a video call with one of your friends and catch up on good old times. COVID-19 has got nothing on you.

Catch up on podcasts, movies, and music you have missed: Remember all that good stuff you missed out on when you had to be at work/business? Let’s say every disappointment is a blessing. There is a lot of time to catch up on them now and have fun while at it.

Read a book: While on lockdown wherever you are, you can go ahead to grab a read of your favourite author. Don’t have books at home? Not a problem any longer, consider your phones as a “serious” e-reading device. Just get a free Kindle application for your mobile phone and you’ll learn in no time about all the advantages of eBook reading. An hour every day reading your favourite books is certainly redeeming.

Clean Clean Clean: This is the best time to clean frequently touched surfaces daily with a regular household cleaner followed by a disinfectant, you already know why…lol. In addition to bathroom surfaces, tables, and countertops, don’t forget light switches, faucets, and sinks, cabinet handles, doorknobs, phones, and keyboards. Go through the bookshelves and thin out your collection, weed out old board games, get ruthless in the closet and toss anything that hasn’t been worn in the last year.

Remember that this is a time to stay away from other people until instructed by the authorities. No cookouts, no owambes, no play-dates, and no face-to-face dates.

Did we skip anything? Add yours.

You are welcome!

I always wondered about the difference, especially in taste.


I am a teetotaler.

What is the difference between them and cognac, whiskey, gin and rum. Especially the taste.

Thanks
