Happy New Year To Bitcoin Naija Community
Starting the year with Jollof Rice. Had to merge all photos together to keep them inline. Not sure if it's necessary to include the steps because the rules didn't request for it, besides, Jollof is a common dish. Happy new year to everyone once again.

[sotelorene]

Happy new year to y'all, it is so good to see the new year with sound health and I am really grateful to God almighty for that and regardless of the hard economy we all are still here and I don't really care what I eat to be a life so long as I'm safe and sound I am happy.

Below are my new year food:

I have porridge beans which happens to be my favorite
Parboiled rice
Ice fish
Banana one of my favorite fruit
The ingredients
Sliced onion and pepper

Currently spending the holiday (new year) in my native home with grandparents. Took the opportunity to prepare one of our native delicacy in a village-ish way ',lol,  a dish that is very common with my home people as a local cuisine instead  of going for the usual Nigerian jollof or soup. It will interest you all to know that this delicacy was cooked using firewoods. Yea, you read that right, firewoods.

Delicacy name: Three leaf yam and gravi-pepper sauce
stew, (known as Idowo in my local parlance).

Pepper sauce ingredients :
Crayfish
Oil
Red pepper
Onions
Scent leaves
Maggi
Maggi, salt.

Preparatory process: For the three leaf yam after peeling, it's just to have it boiled with water and added salt to taste. Meanwhile the Gravi-pepper sauce, you would have to blend all ingredients together and since I am at the village I had to use pounding mortar to blend. Mind you, the Oli has to be the last ingredient to be added after blending. And food is ready

Thank you @Mia Chloe for organizing this cooking contest, you have helped me remember that I can actually cook. Coming from a family where we are all boys and two girls as last kids, it is normal I know how to cook, so today I became the mama of the house to cook the new year food. Let's get down to the details:

Naija delicacy: Fried rice and salad with beans pudding (called moi moi in Nigeria)

1. Ingredients for fried rice and the preparation :

The process involved preparing the ingredients as shown below and frying the vegies a little while adding the parboiled rice and mixing while on fire to achieve the friend rice.



The Parboiled rice was gradually added to the fried vegies to make the fried rice as shown below:



The Salad, made of sweet corn,  cabbage, cucumber, carrot, bama and other minor ingredients was prepared as shown below:



2. Ingredients for beans pudding and the preparation : Dry beans, crayfish, cooked egg, onion, salt, pepper, some local spices, a little drop of groundnut oil and parboiled meat.

Process involved adding water to the grounded beans and mixing with little oil and then other ingredients in their right proportions, thereafter dividing into different portions and adding the cooked egg and meat to each portion before cooking for 30 to 45 minutes.  
 


Beans grounded, mixed with ingredients and ready to be cooked. Below is the cooking and the finished product:




3. Final product: Food is ready to be consumed with a locally made drink called zobo, made from vegetables and rich in blood. I also added a picture of how I ended the meal before I slept for four hours.



It was a sweet experience and I look forward to participating in this kinds of competition that bring so much memories of how we celebrate the new year growing up in a family of predominantly boys.

My Entry {Yam, Plantain and chicken pepper soup}

I had to hit the kitchen to make this dish for my homies in the village and if for nothing, this contest also helped me strengthen the bond and spread love for the new year.


INGREDIENTS
I don’t enjoy more of spicy dishes so I went with the basic
- yam
-plantain
-chicken
-Palm oil
-fresh red pepper
-dry pepper
-scent leaves
-onion
-Maggi
-lazor chicken spice
-crayfish
-Ginger
-Garlic

ITEMS IN PICTURE



N/B:. Please it’s worth knowing that, the meal was prepared in the evening because I had to wait for the people i called to turn up because the food was prepared for the boys, hence we needed to be all present to have the fun (I'm sure my Naija people know this cruise☺️😂)

PREPARATION PROCESS
Firstly I had to get all the necessary items needed for the cooking ready and cleaned which included both the mortar and pestle for pounding of the pepper, ginger and garlic

The mortar was left to dry and as this was going on, I also had to boil water to use for removing feathers from the chicken


While the water was left to boil to ease removal of the chicken feather, the yam and plantain was peeled and washed and also soaked with salt so it can be easily soft.

After that, I had to pound the pepper, crayfish, ginger and garlic all together in the dried mortar with the pestle to get a fine sauce to enhance the food


The water was finally ready and the chicken feathers were all removed (my chicken was then neaked😂)

I guess my chicken was shy of the nakedness and had to cross her legs 😂😂 ready to be slaughtered and boom, I finally slaughtered the chicken and washed it thoroughly because I like my chicken properly washed

After washing the chicken properly, I transferred it to the put and added some sliced onions to it after which I added pounded pepper, crayfish, ginger and garlic sauce to it as well as some cubes of Maggi and salt to taste and also added the lazor spice and mixed them all together with the chicken to enhance the taste before per boiling it




As a typical Nigerian breed, I had to rinse my mortar and pour the water to the chicken because we believe that major ingredient is the one rinsed from the mortar 😂 and I no fail.
I couldn’t take picture of the per-boiling because of the steam smoke from the pot.
I also couldn’t write my name on a paper because these above mentioned processes needed me touch water, and it might get the paper soaked.

After parboiling the chicken, I had to transfer the washed yam and plantain to a bigger pot and also transferred the parboiled chicken to the bigger pot and cook them together properly

I also added some more sliced onions again to the food to enhance it and then i added the dry pepper, salt and salt and also added more water and allowed it to cook for about 30mins.

While the food was on fire, I took some time to wash the scent leave and also take out the dried scent leaves because I wanted it fresh and green



 Meanwhile, I couldn’t sit idle while waiting for the food, we had some talks going on while waiting for the food to be cooked and also had to pound another small fresh pepper in the mortar so we can transfer the cooked yam when done.


This is what the food looks like after adding the scent leaves to it and trust me, the food was amazing.

:. Funny enough, it was already late when the food got ready and these guys didn’t even give me the space to give the food a perfect final presentation since it was already very late and it was on the 31st night and they needed to go back to their homes to crossover with their families.

Happy New Family.
