Catfish pepper soup can also be called point and kill. It  is one of Nigerian’s most popular evening recipes. I have been putting this away for a very long time because of the complexity of the recipe. I had planned to make this recipe even before the launch of the “Easy guide to delicious Nigerian Foods”, one of the best products ever made in the Nigerian Kitchen. Catfish pepper soup (point and kill) is the most popular fish pepper soup in Nigeria. We also have cow tail peppersoup,  goat meat pepper soup  and several others  Recipes in Nigeria . I like Nigerian foods to the point that I find it difficult to cope in a foreign environments. Well, I think this is justifiable, I have been making Nigerian foods right from my eleventh birthday. I think the first food I ever made was  vegetable soup  with cow liver, my dad insisted and I had no option but to obey. Below is the image of catfish pepper soup, the popular point and kill peppersoup tha...

Nigerian tomato stew is one of the most popular Nigerian food recipes, it is easy to make and I would include this recipe on a list of “Nigerian simple to make foods”, Reason for this would be that the ingredients needed could be found in almost every part of the world and almost anybody can put up this stew in less than fifty minutes. Recently I also made a video on making Nigerian tomatoes stew, this video is detailed beyond expectation; you can find it at the bottom of this page. I promised to take you through the guide on how to lose the sour taste of tomatoes easily. Most people end up with tomato stew that has soured taste, it is very conversant but we are going to learn how to eliminate that taste, at least the way I eliminate that taste. (This same method is expounded in the Nigerian Food eguide, page 11, 12 and 13) Ingredients For Making Nigerian Tomato stew (like I always assert, these ingredients could be doubled or reduced depending on the number of people you are...

1.   Jollof rice Jollof's base ingredient is always rice, and "TOP" (tomato,onion and  pepper ) plus scotch bonnets. It's customizable according to your preference: make it hotter than the sun, or as mild as a European's palette. Add mixed vegetables if you want (please don't). Best enjoyed with piping hot dodo  and a cold Super malt. . It is one of the most suitable food used for African occasions around the world. 2.   Akara This is the deep fried bean cake.  These delicious protein-packed fritters are light, making them ideal for breakfast (as a side with  ogi , perhaps). Most people use peeled brown beans, ground and blended with onions and spices, and fry in vegetable oil. They taste amazing when eaten with  bread . We will post on how to prepare such recipie very soon. Akara can also be served with dipping sauce. 3.   Bean and plantain pottage Nigerians  love  a pottage, and t...

They are really delicious and easy to make. You can enjoy them as snack with a glass of soft drink or serve with tea or pap. It could serve as a perfect breakfast or as dessert. I think the name ‘diet’ suits it better because it is actually a blend of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and fat and oil. It is more balanced than most simple Nigerian snacks. Pancakes are served as snack with anyone of jam, honey, ketchup, butter or a blend of two in Europe and America, but here we enjoy it as it comes. I did however throw in a spoon of ketchup and it was super delicious. Pancake Image Ingredients: Serving: 4 2 cup of plain flour 3 medium eggs Half cup of evaporated milk 2 tablespoons of margarine ¼ teaspoon of salt Teaspoon ground red dried pepper 1 cup of water Vegetable oil 1 Spoon of thinly sliced onion (optional) 3 Tablespoons of sugar I would suggest that you get evaporated milk; they are those in tins. like peak milk, three crown, choice, etc. You will need just abo...

 You have absolutely nothing to lose but so much to gain for taking a chilled glass of zobo Nigerian drinks. The health benefits are immeasurable, although this depends on the ingredient you used while preparing it. I would personally recommend just natural ingredients if you can find them; I use them when I can find them. Here we are going to do it just the way Mama Iyabo does it. You may want to read the comment below before you actually try this zobo recipe, few persons experienced soured taste when they used lots of pineapple, they agreed that pineapple flavor is better than actual pineapples when it comes to making zobo drink. And I agree. The plate above contains ginger, about 3 fingers of ginger would do. The ginger inset would be enough for 5 cups of zobo leaves then the joccy pinapple flavor by the side of the plate (use just one sachet and add it when the zobo is boiled and filtered). This would be enough to make 2-3 litres of zobo juice drink. By the end of th...
