Nigerian Food Recipies

Hello guys, guess what? it's Christmas Season. A season of joy, harmony and laughter with our loved ones...Come to think about it, how are we going to make this season a memorable one? Honestly, I think there is a good spirit in Christmas that usually gives us this rhythm feeling, this joy without explanation, I think it should be celebrated. Christmas isn't complete without good aromatic foods, this is the major reason why I decided to write this article. Today, I am going to share with you some recipes you are going to try for your Christmas season, I bet you would love and appreciate it. 1.  THE WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY This can be served with lettuce, onions or even tomatoes. It is served on a baking dish or pan, and it's usually prepared at the range of 120-125 minutes, it is usually served as dinner. Always be attentive so that it won't burn to ashes. You could email me on how to prepare it at benjamin .okungbowa2017@gmail.com 2. FRIED PLANTAI...

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...

Today we are going to focus on meat, it may sound funny or boring but there are something you don't really know about it, because it may change your lifestyle completely. Meat, term applied to the edible portions of domestic mammals such as cattle, calves, sheep, lambs, and swine. The meat of cattle is known as beef; calves, as veal; sheep, as mutton; lambs, as lamb; and swine, as pork. The term meat can be applied to the edible portions of poultry and wild birds and mammals (game) and to the portions of other animals such as crustaceans and reptiles that are eaten by humans. It is not known when the human species began to eat meat; other primates are vegetarian with only occasional episodes of opportunistic meat consumption.    It consists of skeletal muscle, with varying amounts of fat and connective tissue, but internal organs are also used. Known as variety meats, these include the liver, kidneys, testicles, thymus gland and pancreas (als...

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...

Nigerian food culture differs from different group to another; I have always cited the issue of multiple ethnic groups in Nigeria as the reason for the large number of foods eaten in Nigeria.There are over two hundred and fifty different tribes in Nigeria so it is expected that each of these tribes would have different food culture, although there are always a little difference from one tribe to another. This page is about Nigerian food customs and culture, you need to know a little about all of this if you are dating or married to a Nigerian. In a Nigerian home the men are expected to provide money for all the foods eaten at home while it is the responsibility of the woman to purchase and prepare these foods for the family, the only exception is when the wife I gainfully employed. Then she might employ the service of a house help. About twenty five to thirty percent of Nigerian women are full house wife while a bulk of rest are engaged in petty trading or civil service, only...
