Gwote (Acha/Fonio porridge)
I first tasted this meal in February 2017 and I DIDN'T like the taste at all because it tasted bland. However, my friend explained that traditionally it is cooked without adding salt so I respected that. All the same, even though I didn't love the taste I did admire the food.I love eating things that are foreign to my culture 😁Two years later in 2019, a colleague prepared it and I was blown away! She threw all caution to the wind and vamped up the meal.Now in 2021, I have decided to prepare this clearly nutritious meal. When I asked my husband if he will eat "gwote" he vehemently refused (lol) but I forgive him because I can only imagine his own sad experience with gwote in the past.Dear Plateau people, forgive me if I have not done justice to the recipe. Gwote is amazing! I love you all 😍

Roasted spiced orange sweet potatoes 🍠
Orange sweet potatoes are different from our regular white sweet potatoes. The orange sweet potato have a higher moisture content that the white one. The ideal way of cooking this orange sweet potatoes is by steaming, roasting or grilling. I’m not saying you can’t fry or boil it, I did fry but it was as if it wouldn’t fry and became so soft, and I also attempted to make porridge but it ended up more like a soup than porridge 😣. So I decided to look up ways to cook these potatoes ( I have so much potatoes and I don’t want to waste any). I’ll post the recipes I try out wit it and hope everyone finds it useful 🥰😋 and delicious
