SEC/S16-W6: The Dish That Makes Me Happy
Hey there amazing chefs! How has your day been? I hope you're great! I couldn't be better over here, and here I am about to join an interesting contest about the dish that makes me happy, wow this was not easy for me to choose because I have so many favorite dishes that contribute to my happiness, from fruits to Rice, Ekpang Nkuwuo, and more. But today, I'll share with you a dish rooted in my culture that brings me so much joy. Are you ready to find out what it is? Stay connected!
One dish that gives me so much happiness is Afia Efere ebot ye usung udia (white soup with pounded yam). This meal is simple to prepare, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying. It's a classic in my culture and is loved by my people. We often serve it to dignitaries on special occasions. What I love about this food is that it's delicious, has a nostalgic appeal, and is sure to bring a smile to many faces. It's perfect for breakfast or lunch, and the generous amount of choppings and the hot/curry leaves make it even more appetizing. You'll definitely want more and more!
With just a few ingredients, including protein and vitamins, you can make this wonderful dish that's a favorite for many. The ingredients include yam, Achi powder (thickener), hot & curry leaves, dry fish, stock fish, goat meat, periwinkles, onions, fresh pepper, crayfish, salt, and seasoning cubes.
Steps in cooking it:
1. Sauce your goat meat with pepper, onions, salt, and seasoning cubes.
2. Wash your stock fish and dry fish and add them to the pot, followed by periwinkles and pounded crayfish.
3. Allow the soup to simmer for some minutes and then add achi powder to thicken the soup.
4. Wash and chop onions and hot/curry leaves, then add them to the soup.
5. Prepare your swallow by peeling, cutting, and cooking the yam until soft. Then pound it to your desired texture and enjoy it with your Afia Efere ebot!
There's love in sharing, so each time I prepare this meal, I love to eat it with family and friends. I often invite them over for breakfast or lunch, and seeing the joy on their faces makes me happy.
For my siblings who are far away, I share pictures of this meal in our WhatsApp group or do a video call with them. This always awakens their appetite, and we plan to have a meetup as soon as possible to share the meal. There's happiness in sharing, and I like spreading joy by sharing whatever I have, including a meal.
I'd love to share this meal with my husband, as it's his favorite. He can't resist it, for example he'll patiently wait for it to be done without complaining that he'll be late for work. He always thanks me after eating it.
But this time, I want to share this meal with my second son. Unlike his siblings, he's a foodie, and I know he'll praise me while eating this food. His joy will make me happy.
Hi @vickydear, @mesola, and @ngoenyi, please join this contest and share the dish that makes you happy!
One of my favourite meals to go to is this Afia efere and pounded yam, I won't talk about the obstructions in the food(that is the goat meat, the stock fish, the dried fish, the periwinkle), hmmmm, and it's so simple and easy to make. The final flavouring with the leaf finishes the work. It's always fast to make and yummy to eat. Thanks for advertising it here.
Aww 🥰 I can see them! Haha 😂😂 lovers of Afia Efere. Thanks for your nice contribution, I appreciate your visit dear
