sausage meat (turkey, pork or italian sausage), Seasonings (optional but I use sage, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper). 8 shelled hard-boiled eggs 1/2 cup flour 1 medium egg, beaten 1 1/2 cups fine breadcrumbs, for coating enough oil fr frying (Groundnut or Canola) -In a small bowl combine sausage meat with sesaonings. -Divide sausage into 8 equal portions, flatten each portion to about 1/8-inch thickness. -Roll each egg in flour and place on top of each sausage patty. -Use each sausage patty to wrap around each egg until it is completely encased, pressing edges together to seal (wet or floured hands make this easier as the sausage geets really sticky). -Beat the egg in a shallow dish and place breadcrumbs on a flat plate. -Dip each sausage-coated eggs in beaten egg and roll in crumb place eggs in oil and fry till golden brown turning it every now and again so it browns evenly 2 Likes 1 Share

Moyin-Moyin (also called Moin-Moin, Moi-Moi, Moimoi), a sort of savory bean pudding, is a unique and delicious way to prepare black-eyed peas or other beans. The traditional way to cook Moyin-Moyin is to wrap it in leaves (such as banana leaves) and steam it. In modern Africa it is often cooked in empty tin cans, but it can also be made in muffin pans (muffin tins). There are many variations of Moyin-Moyin. Skip all the optional ingredients to make a simple version; include one or more of the optional ingredients to make fancy Moyin-Moyin. Also see the Akara recipe. What you need two to three cups dried cowpeas (black-eyed peas) or similar one tablespoon dried shrimp powder one or two tomatoes, (peeled if desired), chopped -- or -- a similar amount of canned tomatoes -- or -- two tablespoons of canned tomato paste one or two onions, chopped salt and black pepper to taste chile pepper, chopped, to taste cayenne pepper or red pepper, to taste oil to grease muffin tin Optional Ingredients (a cup of one or more of the following): cooked shrimp, chopped cooked carrots, finely chopped cooked peas sweet green or red pepper (bell pepper) hard-boiled egg dried, salted, or smoked fish; washed, cleaned and torn into small pieces dried shrimp or prawns, washed and crushed canned sardines leftover cooked meat, cut into small pieces dried or smoked meat, torn into small pieces canned corned beef What you do Clean the black-eyed peas in water in a large pot. Cover them with boiling water and soak them for at least an hour or overnight. After soaking them, rub them together between your hands to remove the skins. Rinse to wash away the skins and any other debris. Drain them in a colander. If the beans have soaked only a short time, they may be cooked in water over a low heat until they are partially tender. Crush, grind, or mash the black-eyed peas into a thick paste. Slowly add enough water to form a smooth, thick paste. Beat with a wire whisk or wooden spoon for a few minutes. A tablespoon of oil may be added. In a separate container combine all other ingredients and crush and stir them together until they are thoroughly mixed. Add the other ingredients to the black-eyed pea paste and stir to make a smooth mixture. Grease the muffin pans (or tin cans). Scoop the Moyin-Moyin mixture into your pans (or cans), allowing some room for it to rise while cooking. Place the pans (or cans) in a baking dish partially filled with water. Bake in a medium-hot oven for about a half-hour. Moyin-Moyin in tin cans can also be steamed in a large covered pot on a stove. Check for doneness with a toothpick or sharp knife, as one would for a cake. Alternate cooking method: Wrap the Moyin-Moyin mixture in banana leaves or aluminum foil to make small packets. Cook the packets by steaming them in a large pot, using a rack to keep them out of the water. May be served hot or at room temperature. 1 Like 1 Share

3 teaspoons finely ground roasted peanuts 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper, or red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 or 2 pounds of meat (beef, chicken, etc.), cut into bite-size pieces 1 onion peeled and cut into chunks 1 tomato cut into chunks 1 green or red bell pepper, cleaned and cut into chunks (optional) • Make the ground peanut powder: Remove shells and skins from roasted peanuts, if necessary. • Grind the peanuts into a fine powder (briefly pound them in a mortar and pestle; crush them with a rolling pin; or use a food processor). • Be careful not to grind them into a paste. If the peanut powder is oily, wrap it in absorbent paper (paper towel) and squeeze for a minute or two. • Stir the spices into the powder, mixing well. • For really spicy hot suya, use more cayenne pepper; for a milder dish, substitute paprika for some (or all) of the cayenne pepper. • Divide the peanut-spice mix into two parts, putting half in one bowl and half in another. • Set one bowl aside. • Dip and roll the meat in the other bowl of the peanut-spice mix, making sure the meat is completely coated. • Allow meat to marinate for thirty minutes or more. (Get the outdoor grill going or preheat the oven while you are waiting.) • Place the meat on skewers (alternating with the onion, tomato and sweet pepper, if desired). • Broil in a hot oven, or grill over hot coals, until meat is done. 2 Likes 1 Share

Meat Filling -small potatoes, diced and cooked (to save time, use frozen hash brown potato cubes) -lean ground beef (or chicken, or turkey) -frozen mixed vegetables, cooked (I use the peas, carrots and corn mix) -onion diced -red and green sweet peppers, diced - seasonings (salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, knorr/maggie etc, whatever you like) Dough 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (it should be cold and hard) 1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 4-6 tablespoons ice water -Prepare the filling by browning your meat and spices. WHile it's cooking, stirfry your peppers and onion and veggies. Mix it all together. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. -Once ground beef is cooked, add the diced cooked potatoes and heat for 5 minutes. (not too much potatoes). The main purpose is to aborb excesss liquid from the meat mixture, so that you don't end up with soggy meat pies. -To make dough: Sift together dry ingredients and cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork until mixture is crumbly. -While mixing with a wooden spoon, add water a tablespoon at a time until dough holds together in a ball (you may need more or less water. Just add small amounts at a time). If the dough is crumbly, add a little more water by drops until the dough stays together when you pinch it. -When dough comes together into a ball roll out the dough until flat. - Cut out circles (I use a giant cookie cutter for this). If dough becomes sticky or too soft put in fridge for 10 minutes to cool and then take it out again and continue cutting the circles. -Place meat stuffing in center of pastry circles. -Fold over and seal using a fork. -Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until lightly browned.

SERVES 4 TO 6 PEOPLE 2-cups African Beans or Black Eyed Peas One - egg One - maggi cube One - habanero pepper (very hot) 1-½ cups of vegetable oil 1/3 - cup of onions ½ - teaspoon of salt (optional) First, soak beans in hot water for 20 minutes for (African Beans)or 3- hours for Black Eyed Peas. Next, after beans have soaked, remove the shells by gathering a handful of beans in both hands and rubbing them together very briskly.Continue to rinse beans with water to remove the fallen off shells as you continue to rub off the shell of the beans. After you are done,the beans should be nice and white with all the shells removed. This part is very time consuming and can take 30 to 45 minutes to complete. But it’s well worth the wait. Next, grind the beans 2-cups at a time very smoothly and creamy in blender using 1/2 - cup of water. Pour grounded mixture into medium size bowl. You should end up with 4-1/2 cups of beans total. When you reach the last portion of beans to grind (1/2) cup, still use the 1/2 cup of water to grind because the revious bean mixture shouldbe very thick and is still probably sticking to the sides of the blender. Mixture should look very white and thick in texture. Next, add to bean mixture 1-crumbled maggi cube. Next, cut 1/3 cup of chopped onions. Next, remove the seeds and cut one habanero pepper very small. Next, add the cut onions, salt and habanero pepper to bean mixture and stir well. Next, add ½ an egg to mixture and stir well. Next, heat 1-½ -cups of vegetable oil in a medium pan or skillet on medium high. Next, when oil is hot, spoon or pour mixture like small pancakes into hot oil. Mixture should be ½ inch a part from each other. You should be able to spoon inat least four to six large spoons full of mixture at a time. Finally, spooned mixture should cook for 5 minutes one each side or until goldenbrown. Before turning the mixture to brown on the other side, gently and lightlydab some of the remaining egg on top of the uncooked side before flipping to the other side. Tip: Akara can be eaten at breakfast time or as an appetizer or snack. ENJOY!! 1 Like

In Ghana, this dish is also called Kontonmire, Kentumere, or Nkontommire, named for the leaf of the cocoyam (taro) plant which is used for the greens. What you need one-half cup palm oil or vegetable oil one to two pounds of stew meat, or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces beef broth or beef stock from 2 maggi cubes (or water) two to four cups (or more) fresh or dried bitterleaf (or platto), or several cups of spinach or similar greens (kale, collards, or turnip greens are good), or a combination of these one to two pounds dried, salted, or smoked fish or a combination of fresh fish and dried, salted, or smoked fish one or two onions, finely chopped two to six ripe tomatoes, chopped and mashed (peel removed, if desired; the peel of a ripe tomato is most easily removed if it is first dipped for a minute in boiling water) (or canned tomatoes) one chile pepper, chopped (optional) salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper or red pepper (to taste) one cup egusi one tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated (or one teaspoon ground ginger) several okra one cup fresh shrimp or prawns, or one-half cup dried shrimp or prawns What you do If you are using dried or fresh bitterleaf: Wash it in cold water, rinsing several times, and allow it to soak for at least a few hours, then chop it into pieces. If you are using spinach leaves: Clean and chop them immediately before cooking the soup. If you are using any other greens (such as kale or collard greens): Clean, chop, and parboil them briefly before cooking the soup. If you are using dried/salted fish: Soak it in water for an hour or two, then cut the fish into pieces and remove any skin or bones. Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or covered pot. Fry the meat until it is partially done, and then add a few cups of broth, stock, or water. Reduce heat. Simmer. Add the bitterleaf (or greens, or spinach) to the pot. Stir and simmer for several minutes more. Add the fish to the pot, along with the onion and tomatoes, and any hot chile pepper, salt, and red or black pepper you like. Cover the pot and continue to cook over low heat. When the greens seem tender, add the remaining ingredients. (Egusi or okra help it to thicken. The egusi, pumpkin seeds, or sesame seeds should be crushed or ground before they are added.) Cook over low heat, stirring often (do not add any more liquid) until it is a thick sauce-like consistency. Serve with Banku, Kenkey, Fufu, or Rice. 1 Like 1 Share |
