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.

How to Make Porridge Beans (with tomatoes)

Hello People, Growing up i HATED eating beans, and the only way my Mum "forced" us to eat it was when plantain was added to it. Most times the plantain was more, so that was enough motivation. She always said "beans will make you grow tall". lol When i was in Secondary School (boarding house) i remember, days we had "beans porr" on the menu, the dining hall was always scanty. Even during my Uni days, i don't remember cooking beans. I wasn't just interested. After several years of running away from beans, i finally got the "killer" recipe that changed everything. Guess what? My hubby thought me this recipe (*winks). I will be sharing this recipe with you all, but before I do, here are some health benefits of Beans: 1. They are high in protein and contain little or no fat. They are also rich in minerals like iron, magnesium and zinc. 2. Also, they are rich in fibre which  helps keep your cholesterol levels healthy by preventing chol...
