Efo riro

Eforiro is a vegetable soup from the western part of Nigeria. Any typical Yoruba person that doesn't like this vegetable, please remove the typical and question the person's "Yorubaship". I love this soup because for me it goes with anything... Yes I said anything! From plantain to yam, to solids, rice and even bread! I can't eat efo with bread... You can call me weird. But if you want to feel a perfect foodgasm, try this soup with smooth and fluffy amala. Thank me later. I talk too much! Now to the details...

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pick and wash the shoko. Then chop it. This vegetable has lots of water so you have to blanch it either with hot and cold water or wilt it without water by heating up a pot or pan and stirfrying the vegetables till it wilts and the water dries up. This method retains the green color and crunchiness of the vegetable.
- 2
Boil and season the meats to your taste.
- 3
Boil the roughly blended pepper
- 4
After about 5-8mins of cooking and allowing the meats soak in enough pepper juice now add your blanched vegetables and stir in properly. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 2mins on low heat so the vegetable doesn't over cook. And your Almighty eforiro is ready to be served.
- 5
Heat up the palmoil in a pot, slightly fry the chopped onions and Iru. Then add the pepper. Allow to cook for some minutes before adding the boiled meats and smoked fish.

Macrobiotic Steamed Nagaimo Yam and Amazake Bread Macrobiotic Steamed Nagaimo Yam and Amazake Bread
I think macrobiotic recipes look unappetizing in general, but I wanted to make a delicious macrobiotic snack with ingredients available on hand! I came up with a wonderful, slightly sweet and rich steamed bread. It tastes best fresh out of the oven.○You can increase the sweetness by using sweet rice sake instead of regular sweet sake. 4 tablespoons of beet sugar is a bit sweet, so please adjust the amount to suit your tastes.○I used baking powder that doesn't contain aluminum as an active ingredient. Use regular baking powder if you don't have any.○You can substitute brown sugar or dried fruits for the nuts. You can also skip them if you like. Recipe by miki21 cookpad.japan -
Sour Patch kid cookies Sour Patch kid cookies
For my 100th recipe on here I wanted something different and crazy.I got the recipe from the big 1 lbs bag of sour patch candy ( on the back of the bag) I think it would be better if you cut some of the candies. They did stick to the spatula and cookie wire rack when cooling . These taste different... the kids had a blast making these . We tried them warm and cooled down ... it’s a must try at least one time . Hope you give this crazy cookie recipe a try and let me know if you like them or not. 🌈NinjaMommaKitchen🌈 -

Poche Plantation Pain Perdu Poche Plantation Pain Perdu
In 2007 my parents decided they were going to explore the U.S. They made a stop in Louisiana on their way out west so we could visit for a few days. This recipe comes from Poche Plantation; where they stayed. Breakfast there was complimentary and after tasting this, they begged the owner for the recipe. Luckily he gave them a copy. The literal translation from French for "pain perdu" is "lost bread". Basically this is french toast taken to a whole new level. IHOP, quit haten on me! lol King-Crimson -
Sambal (Indonesian chilli sauce...extended) Sambal (Indonesian chilli sauce...extended)
I travel to Bali often and enjoy the street food there. My Balinese friend makes a great sambal so I always ask her to make one which is very dry and very very hot which allows me to easily carry it home and add more ingredients and oil before canning it. So I do advise, this is not the original recipe for sambal, this explains what I do to it after I get it home.I like to roast/grill the peppers and take the skin off. The taste is really much better.Once you have finished extending your sambal (at step 7) you can put it in the fridge for immediate use or proceed to preserve it for storage as I did in this case.For canning: If your sambal has any low acid content ingredients it needs to be pressure canned. Otherwise boiling water bath will be ok.My next trip to Bali, my friend has promised to show me how to cook her sambal. I hope I can master this teriffic recipe and share with you. There are many other good similar recipes on this site for you to try. Just search for sambal. darbo -
Tangy and Spicy Mango (Simple Indonesian Mango Rujak) Tangy and Spicy Mango (Simple Indonesian Mango Rujak)
Most Indonesians I know love rujak. Rujak is made of vegetables and fruits with special sauce. Sometimes the sauce is nut-based. This is a simple dish, very easy to make. Adjust the spiciness to your liking by adding more chili peppers. If you grind the chili peppers, this rujak will taste spicier and tastier. You can substitute unripe mango with carambola/starfruit, amberella, jicama, guava, water guava, etc. You can also add all of those in addition to mango. Angela Mertoyono -
