How to make Gizzdo

Hello People,

It's Sunday! Hope you guys were in Church! Remember in the presence of God there's fullness of joy.
Many families in Nigeria eat Rice (whether Jollof, Fried or White) on Sundays, my family is no exception. Come to think of it, where did this "norm" originate from???
For me, I try to add some twists to my Sunday rice instead of the "normal rice" cos I'm bored (yawning) already.

So today, I decided to make Gizzdo! I know you will be wondering what it is. Gizzdo is short for Gizzard and Dodo [fried plantain] in pepper sauce.


A plate of White Rice and Gizzdo
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of gizzard
- 2 ripe plantains
- 1 large green pepper
- 3 cooking spoons of tomato and pepper purée
- Spring onions
- Soya oil (you can use any vegetable oil)
- A can of sweet corn (optional)
- 2 stock cubes
- Salt to taste and seasonings



Gizzard (diced)


Fried Plantain(Dodo)
Direction:
1.Season and boil gizzard for 20 mins. Allow to cool then dice and set aside.
2. Cut plantain into cubes, fry & set aside.
3. In a saucepan, pour in little soya oil, heat up, add spring onions stir fry, add tomato & pepper purée, fry for 15 mins, add green pepper, salt, stock cubes and stir.
4. Pour in gizzard and dodo stir and simmer for 5 mins, then add sweet corn (optional), stir and turn off heat, serve hot with white rice or pasta.

Kitchen Tips:
* Sweet corn shouldn't be cooked, so immediately you pour it in, stir and turn off heat.

Regards,
Nitie

*Always wash your hands before and after handling food items.

Babies: How to Make Potato and Carrot Purée

Hello People, Today's recipe is for the special "bundles" in our lives, I mean babies. Babies are so sweet, lovable, tender, beautiful, cute... *add your own adjective(s). It is recommended at birth, that you exclusively breastfeed your new born for the first six (6) months of life as this is of great benefit to both child and mother, especially to the baby as it protects against illnesses and builds their immune system. Not every mother can go all the way, some supplement breastfeeding with formula (baby milk such as SMA, NAN etc) while others breast feed exclusively for the first six (6) months. Whichever method you choose, at the end of six (6) months you will be faced with "introduction of solid foods" to your baby. At the 6 month mark, some first foods to try are creamy avocados, apple sauce, sweet potato puree, bananas and the like. Many mums (especially new ones) run out of ideas on what to give to their babies so they resort to buying canned baby food...
