I guess thisversionIcame up withis almost a combination of both styles and some not even sure what to call it, all I know is that itisdelicious and perfect spiciness for whiterice…let’s go there
Thismorning, I posted pictures on Instagram (follow @dooneyskitchen) and on Facebook (Like Dooney’s Kitchen on facebook) asking for what to namethisdish
word ''jollof'' , she saidthewordmight actually mean ''soaked in red. Thispre-cooking process helps to get rid of the excess starch that comeswith most spaghetti , but you can leave it out if your brand of spaghetti has a low starch content
Don't ask, that's what she did. Theserendipity of the whole thing, considering that a few days before that, I was asked at theWIMBIZ conference what my proudest moment was, and Isaidit was the day one of my readers wrote to me an said she and her husband were going through a very rough patch and hadn’t spoken for months
She echoed whatI wrote above and insisted that the freshness and thedistinct heat, is where Asun isdifferent from peppered meat (eran ti won yilata – her exact words), because with Asun the pepper is raw
Season thegizzardwith pepper, garlic, chopped onion, thyme, salt and a little dry pepper. Sometimesi wonder ifit'spossible to actually fry plantainwithoutsneaking a few into my mouth while at it
Yes, people, that iswhatIdid, and BOOM. Being at homeill, has helped me focus my thoughts a littlebit and last week Igathered fresh prawns, chicken and chunky pieces of fish and saidwhatthe heck, try it

I am a huge fan of pork so naturally whenI saw a couple of healthy looking pork kidneysin Checkers (airportjunction branch) I couldn’t resistpickingthem up
Google is a resource for even theweirdest of things, but for this mgbam, no such thingexists, so whatever you see below is my interpretation based on theinstructionsI was given
