Fish Sauce is versatile and popular in most Nigerian homes. Most commonly used Fish for this sauce is mackerel but you can use sardines and other types of fish
i woke up early in the morning to watch the independence day speech by President Muhammadu Buhari then headed to the market to get fish for cat fish pepper soup a
I bake fish wrapped in foil or leaves because it locks in moisture and if you especially wrap in banana leaves the Asian style or our very own moin moin leaves (Thaumatococcus daniellii) , it gives it that extra special flavor
I was thinking of what to make for dinner, then I remembered I had fish in the freezer. I wanted to make fresh fish stew, but then I thought to myself, why not make something different
The other option was Fish Fingers which I ate alot as a kid growing up but then, I realized that I didn’t want to copy a brand name and then I wanted to season the fish
This Fish sauce is bae and you know smoked mackerel aka smoked "Titus" is "bae-er" LOL. Scatter the mackerel fish into chunks, then add this to the pot
Many have been awaiting my fried rice recipe for a while now. I have had many opportunities to put it up as I’ve cooked fried rice lots of time in the past few months for parties and home cooking
My Chinese style shredded beef gravy (Beef curry sauce) without oyster sauce though. Cooked with mostly Nigerian ingredients and served with boiled rice
You can also grind the leaves at home or with a commercial mill in the market (This is usually done with a little bit of crayfish to make it grind smoothly)
