It has gradually become a staple in our house unlike growing up back home in Ghana, where it was a rare treat during holidays or special occasions.Jollof Rice is also famous because of the neighbourly context between Nigerian Jollof Rice and Ghanaian Jollof Rice. The jury is out for me. I love Ghanaian Jollof rice and have created this very simple recipe so you can make your own too.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ingredients</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 5 medium sized Roma tomatoes, roughly chopped</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 medium sized onion, roughly chopped, set aside</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 scotch bonnet peppers (habanero peppers as they are sometimes called)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">¼ cup of cooking oil(Olive oil tops the list for me)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">I <span style="font-weight: 400;">small can of tomato paste</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 cups of </span> Jasmine <span style="font-weight: 400;">rice</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 tsp salt to taste</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">½ tsp curry powder</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">½ tsp Anise seeds</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 tsp All purpose seasoning</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 Knorr stock cube</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">3 bay leaves</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Water, as needed</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Directions</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blend your tomatoes, red pepper, peppers in a blender for about 45 seconds, make sure that everything is blended well.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a medium sized pot, heat your oil on medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated add the onions you set aside and fry just until they turn golden brown. Once the onions have turned brown in color add the tomato paste and fry for 2-3 minutes. Then add the blended tomato mixture and fry the mixture with the onions and tomato paste for about 30 minutes. Make sure you stir consistently so that the tomato mixture does not burn.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">After 30 minutes, turn the heat down to medium, and add the chicken stock or vegetable . Mix and add your seasonings (salt, curry powder, thyme, all purpose seasoning, and the Knorr stock cube). Continue to boil for 10 minutes.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add the rice to the pot. Mix it very well with the tomato stew. At this point if you need to add water so that the rice is level with the tomato mixture/chicken stock go ahead and do so. Add the bay leaves, cover the pot, and cook on medium to low heat for 15-30 minutes.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the liquid has almost dried up add the remaining tomato stew**, cover, and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes heat until the liquid has completely dried up. Turn off the heat, mix thoroughly, and your Jollof Rice is ready to be eaten!</span></li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rosie’s Extra Tip-I love my Jollof Rice with hot sauce and Heinz Salad Cream </span></i></p> <p> </p> <p>The post <a href="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com/ghanaian-jollof-rice-the-best-on-the-continent/">Ghanaian Jollof Rice- The Best On The Continent</a> appeared first on <a href="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com">Kalahari Foods</a>.</p> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name></name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Spinach Stew with Egusi-The Basics]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com/spinach-stew-with-egusi-the-basics/" /> <id>https://kalaharifoodsmn.com/spinach-stew-with-egusi-the-basics/</id> <updated>2022-11-29T18:03:09Z</updated> <published>2018-02-03T19:02:57Z</published> <category scheme="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com/" term="Cooking Guides (Recipes)" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>In most West African countries, Egusi stew or soup is an important staple.

These can be used as a dip, condiment or just plain sauce. In my home country Ghana, pepper sauce is an essential partner for banku, grilled meat , grilled tilapia, fried yams, kenkey , white rice, eggs or simply great with any food. There is just something about pepper sauce that takes a dish from bland, boring to flavorful and enjoyable. As you might have guessed pepper sauce is sparkingly hot because of the refreshing taste of the hot pepper used in the blend. Today I will provide a recipe for the very simple that is extremely easy to make.</p> <p>The ingredients varies for each palate but one thing is constant, – Hot pepper .There are many kinds of pepper you can use in this sauce; habenera, scotch bonnet, chili. I do prefer scotch bonnet – but habaneros work fine as well. It takes a few minutes to make and voila, it is ready to be enjoyed.</p> <p>The basic ingredients usually consists of pepper, salt, onions, and fresh tomatoes. I love to add a dash of ginger for an extra kick and flavor.</p> <p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p> <div class="site-container"> <div class="site-inner"> <div class="content-sidebar-wrap"> <article class="post-990 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-breakfast-bites category-healthy-bites category-main-bites category-party-bites course-main cuisine-african entry"> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="wprm-recipe-container-568677" class="wprm-recipe-container" data-recipe-id="568677"> <div class="wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-tastefully-simple"> <div class="wprm-recipe-ingredients-container"> <div class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-group"> <ul class="wprm-recipe-ingredients"> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">10</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">peppers</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes">Habenero, scotch bonnet pepper (or as much or as little as you can handle)</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">1</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">medium onion</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">4</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">garlic cloves</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">2</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">basil leaves</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">2</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit">tablespoon</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">parsley</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount">1-3</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">roma tomatoes</span> <span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes">adjust to for spiciness</span></li> <li class="wprm-recipe-ingredient"><span class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-name">salt</span></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="wprm-recipe-instructions-container"> <div class="wprm-recipe-header wprm-color-header"><strong>Instructions</strong></div> <div class="wprm-recipe-instruction-group"> <div id="AdThrive_Recipe_1_desktop" class="adthrive-ad adthrive-dynamic adthrive-recipe" data-google-query-id="CPHH4Za4wtgCFQiJwAodCDkCQA"> <div id="google_ads_iframe_18190176/AdThrive_Recipe_1/554171e36d271f175e37d633_0__container__"></div> </div> <ol class="wprm-recipe-instructions"> <li class="wprm-recipe-instruction"> <div class="wprm-recipe-instruction-text">Coarsely chop the tomatoes, onions , and discard stems of the pepper.

Chef Isaac has been in the food business from his childhood, learning first from his mother, Martha, about different foods and the way they promote healing and health. Martha was known in her village as a healer, using herbs, spices, dried fruits, and vegetables as healing elements in the body. Isaac learned marvelous things about using these spices and flavorings from her priceless legacy of tried and true wisdom, delivered with a caring heart. He always uses foods for health and healing and is pleased to bring you authentic African recipes that have survived in his family for generations.</p> <p>Kalahari Foods, MN began in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and was born out of our love for cooking, using authentic flavors that spoke of our homeland. What started out as a way to bring our friends and neighbors together around food has turned into a premier source of exquisite, delicious authentic food in this area. Today, we continue to gather diverse groups of people together around authentic flavors of our heritage and those from other parts of the globe.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com/how-to-cook-african-food/">How To Cook African Food – How It All Began</a> appeared first on <a href="https://kalaharifoodsmn.com">Kalahari Foods</a>.</p> ]]></content> </entry> </feed>
