Hey all! I thought I’d share some tweetphotos for the benefit of those not on twitter. A few weeks back, a very good friend and I went to the African store for some, well, African groceries, mainly goat meat, seasonings … For directions & more, keep reading!
Stick meat is a Nigerian finger food/quick snack or kpanumo (pop in your mouth real quick type of food). It’s very similar to kebabs, the main difference would be the size since stick meat is cubed meat on toothpicks, not the long sticks kebabs come on. Basically, you can call them miniature kebabs.
I remember the last time I made stick meat was in high school for some event we were having and it was done at a friends home. Now, what I don’t recall is if it had small slices of onions or tomatoes on it. Since I couldn’t remember that, I just kept it simple and mixed it in some fried stew instead.

Asaro, also known as Ebe (pronounced eh-beh) is a Nigerian dish native to the Yorubas. I’m not exactly sure what region it originated from, but I do know it’s a traditional Yoruba dish. It is very similar to Ikokore, in the sense that its yam cooked in a mix of blended peppers. The only difference is that Ikokore uses water yam while Asaro uses regular yam.
It’s a one pot meal and doesn’t take too long to prepare. For directions & more, keep reading!
I wanted to cook some chicken drumsticks but wanted to do so a tad differently from how I normally bake/cook chicken. Initially, I wanted to bake it by slicing a bunch of onions and scotch bonnet peppers over the chicken and baking it in a foil pan, but I changed my mind at the last minute and winged it.
I had a bag full of dried chili peppers a friend gave me, so I worked the rest of the seasonings around that. Based on the main ingredients, I hemmed and hawed on a title and ultimately decided to call it ‘Citrus Chili Chicken!’ For directions & more, keep reading!
So much for daily blogging huh? I know, I know! I have to re-think my blogging schedule. I think it’s in part due to me losing my cooking mojo for a minute….no cooking=no new recipes, ya dig! Sincerest apologies again, that said, let’s get this show on the road!
Chili, chili, chili! I love it, but don’t love beans, so I decided to just omit it and this is also my first time making chili and it turned out not bad at all! It’s very easy to make and you only need one pot and a little less than an hour! For directions & more, keep reading!
