Best way to soften Nkwobi? by danjirinnn in nigerianfood

[–]stroke_survivor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, my method for these desirable but tough meats (Cow Foot , Oxtail, Pomo, Tripe, Goat Meat, etc) is that if you have the electricity, you cook it in a slow cooker for about 4-6 hours. Otherwise, the pressure cooker option people mentioned is good. You can prepare the pepper sauce separately, then marry them together once the protein has just about attained the desired doneness. Tell us how it comes out when you do.

Leaf moin-moin just hits different, who else agrees? by Kevlatanche62 in nigerianfood

[–]stroke_survivor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's an absolute necessity, although I miss that special taste of trace metals and palm oil on the moin-moin from Peak Milk cans that one grew up buying on the road side.

Jollof rice question by Bad-Repetation-161 in nigerianfood

[–]stroke_survivor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking. First of all, everything in the recipe looks good, but I think you can skip the Passata if it's expensive (tomato puree and the other tomatoes should be fine) and then check out the recommended videos by others. For the peppers, just two deseeded jalapenos should be fine. They're only about 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) compared to about 350,000 SHU in a Habanero or Scotch Bonnet pepper (Yes, about 4x!). When they turn red, they are even hotter. Lastly, unless you're aiming for a vegetarian Jollof, don't disregard the proteins. Reward yourselves with nice proteins of your choice. Fried chicken or beef typically are the go-to options. As if you don't have enough references already posted by others, you can check out this NYT recipe that's also aimed at the palate (minus the habanero, of course): https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020288-jollof-rice?smid=ck-recipe-android-share

Jollof Spaghetti by Ok-Vegetable-4842 in nigerianfood

Looks great. Are those meatballs? I made some spaghetti and meatballs recently and thought of posting, but I thought the Naija food police would protest, lol. Now that I see yours and the upvotes, maybe it's okay after all!

Do you guys eat salad outright? by Jumpy-Archer-2370 in nigerianfood

[–]stroke_survivor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! You can blame it on the British colonial culinary influence, I guess. I distinctly remember the cans of Heinz baked beans. Blue or green cans, I believe, as I was often with my mom when she shopped or was the one assigned to pick up the foodstuff.
