HOW TO REMOVE GAS FROM YOUR BEANS/ MAKE IT COOK FASTER

Hello foodies, reduce your cooking time by half, by adding a table spoon of lemon juice while parboiling beans.
Drain, rinse and add another tablespoon to cook properly. You can use a regular or pressure pot

The acid in the lemon helps suck out every form of preservative, reduce the gas causing agent in the beans and also soften it faster

Aside softening, both lemon juice and carrot adds a distinct flavour to your beans

This is a tested and trusted tip I've used over and over.
Try this for soft/tasty beans, and say goodbye to stomach bloating or heartburn after eating.

No more excuse for not eating beans o
This tip will shock you and it's +velyl backed by research.

OFE NSALA (White Soup) Recipe

Ingredients:

➡️I Freshfish preferably Catfish but I used Titus and shrimps

➡️8 small pieces white yam
➡️1 small stockfish
➡️5 Utazi leaves (a little goes a long way because they are bitter)

➡️Small piece of ogili igbo
➡️Crayfish
➡️3 yellow Nsukka pepper lol (you can use your choice)

➡️1 homemade seasoning cube
➡️1 teaspoon homemade pepper soup spice
➡️Salt (to taste)

Directions:

Boil the yam, pound or blend till it's smooth and set aside

I soak stockfish ahead of time so it gets soft before I even start cooking

Wash and seasoning the stockfish/ shrimp and fish. add little water, and put it on fire to cook on low heat for 8 minutes

Roughly pound or blend crayfish, pepper, and utazi and add them into the pot of fish. Add the ogili igbo / pepper soup spice and cook for 7 -10 minutes

Add more water enough for the soup

Then add the pounded yam into the pot of Ofe Nsala in bits to avoid an overly thick soup, cover and cook on low heat for 8 minutes.

Once the yam dissolves the soup will thicken up. I love mine watery

Check and adjust seasoning and soup is ready. By now your neighbours should be shouting who is cooking

Serve with pounded yam or semo

Enjoy!

HOW TO DE-BONE HERRINGS aka SARDINE FISH (SAWA)

Since the price of canned sardines went to the roof I started making my own and it's unbelievably delicious
If I don't tell you it's not canned you wouldn't know
So I thought to share with you all the 5 steps I use in de-bonning them before slowcooking

Also check the next post for the step by step video

➡️ Firstly, gently descale your herrings, trim the tail and fins off

➡️ Then using a blunt knife cut across the head just beneath the gills but don't cut the bone off

That's why a blunt knife is better used.

Also cut round the tail end without cutting the bone off
NOTE: ( keeping the bone intact on both head and tail is very important)

➡️ Remove the guts

➡️ Now hold the head still attached and gently press along the spine of the fish, with the belly facing down.
keep pressing through the spine down to the tail until you feel the flesh of the fish being released from the bones within it.

➡️ Then locate that bone you didn't cut off at the head, hold the body of the fish tight and pull.

The long bone comes out beautifully with ease and the fish doesn't scatter
It takes just few minutes to neatly pull the long bone out if you pressed the spine well to release it.

Truth is this fish is very nutritious and even less expensive in my area. Na bones dey pursue people

The best way to enjoy this fish is to de-bone it then cook on low heat to soften any pin bone that didn't come out during de-bonning

Go ahead, cook your fish and enjoy
God bless you Nanaaba's kitchen for teaching me this technique

TASTY CORNMEAL PORRIDGE
flavoured with ginger and carrots

Steps:
➡️ Scrap the outer skin off ginger and carrot
➡️ Grate your ginger and carrots. I prefer them grated because the fibers aids digestion.
Alternatively you can extract the juice using a juicer.
➡️ Dissolve your pap and grated carrot with little water or with the carrot and ginger juice
(let your dissolved pap be creamy and not watery)
➡️ Add boiling water to your dissolved pap while stirring constantly.

Cover with a lid for few minutes to set properly. Your flavoured pap is ready

➡️ You can garnish with veggies of choice( cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, cabbage, avocado etc)

If you do plant based you can use freshly made coconut, tiger nut or rice milk

No coconut today so I'm using canned animal milk

it's yummy all the same but there's nothing as healthy as fresh homemade milk

Enjoy your day

Set beans aside once soft then make your sauce

AROMATIC SAUCE

Roughly blend your fresh tomatoes, pepper/onions and set aside
