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 Draw (Ogbono) Soup

Hello People, Ogbono Soup is commonly referred to as Draw Soup, because of its slimy consistency. This soup is made from Ground Ogbono (Wild African Bush Mango) seeds, very common in Naija Markets and African Shops Abroad. Depending on your preference, you could add Ugu (Fluted pumpkin) leaves, Uziza leaves, Okro or even cook without leaves. Some people even add Egusi(melon seeds) to theirs (though i haven't tried this). For me, I prefer using Uziza leaves cos of the aroma and flavor it gives to soups, but for this recipe i used Ugu leaves. I was thought how to make this Soup by my neighbor during my Uni days, Shout Out to Kome, I'm sure she may not even remember this. Kome, hope i make you proud! A Plate of Ogbono Soup Ingredients: - 1 Cup of Ogbono seeds - A handful of Ugu leaves (Shredded) - 3 Cooking spoons of palmoil - 1kg of Beef - 150g of Stock fish - A handful of dry prawns (oporo) (Optional) - A cooking spoon of Crayfish (Grinded) -3 table spoons of g...

How to make White (Nsala) Soup

  Hello People,   Thanks to all you beautiful people who read my posts, keep reading and be sure to get new twists to your regular dishes. White soup is called Nsala Soup by the Ibos and Afia Efere by the Efiks. It is one of the simplest Naija soups in terms of time taken in preparation and ingredients used. It also doesn't contain palm oil, hence the name. It is basically made with the stock gotten from boiling your animal protein like beef, chicken etc. I got to know about this soup during my Uni days. There was this Restaurant that students usually patronized mostly for their White Soup, theirs was the best then. I remember asking one of the waiters for thé recipe, he was kind enough to give me but I never tried it till recently.  Nsala  soup is usually made with uziza leaves, but for this recipe, I used scent leaves I forgot to buy at the market (can't watch), but since I had scent leaves at home, I used it, still came out well. ...
