Veggie Jazzed Grilled Chicken

-
Do you have unexpected guests that need to be fed? Or your family is hungry and you need to whip up something fast for them? This is one recipe that can happen in fifteen minutes or less. 

Now let's get into it

INGREDIENTS 
1 grilled chicken (cut into pieces) 
1 large bell pepper julliened (you can use half of 2 different colors or more 🤷🏾‍♀️)
1 large white onion sliced thin
3 garlic cloves minced 
2 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste
Attarugu aka scotch bonnet (optional) 

Put the oil in a large pot or pan that can hold all your ingredients, heat it up then throw in half of your onions, fry until fragrant then go in with the chicken pieces (with any juice that might have leeched out of it. Put it all in the pan) fry for about 3 minutes until it's hot to touch then add the remaining ingredients (garlic, onions and peppers) mix well then taste for seasoning. If it's okay then perfect. If it's not then you can adjust your seasoning with whatever you like, salt, stock cubes, msg.  

When the veggies start getting soft it's time to turn off the heat and transfer the chicken into a serving bowl or dish. 
You can enjoy it as a side dish or eat it alone. 

 If you like spicy food please feel free to add Attarugu or any hot pepper of your choice to get that zing on your tongue. Personally what I do is make it not spicy (my family is divided on liking spicy food, so most times I just make food 'plain') then add chilli oil or yaji when I'm eating mine.

This is one dish I'd love for you to try. Easy and full of flavor. If you are opportuned try and get wood fire roasted chicken, the woody aroma takes this dish to a new dimension of flavor. Also when getting the chicken get a slightly under cooked bird so that by the time you get it on the fire at home and everything is done it will be perfectly cooked and not overcooked. 

Do let me know how you find this when you try it out

Mango Jam

Necessity is the mother of invention they say. Right from time humans had to find ways to save their fragile and abundant food items from spoiling and going to waste right before their eyes. In comes several preservation methods. I'm using one of the numerous ways to preserve fruit in this blog post. Jamming. Preserving mangoes using sugar. Tadaa ✨ I have plenty mangoes and they are ripening faster than we can eat them. They are also really fragrant and very very sweet! I hate to see them go to waste so of course I think of makimg jam.  To make jam what you need is fruit of choice and sugar.  Fruits naturally high in pectin { the chemical that gelatinizes jam after cooking and cooling} do not need any pectin added, sugar and said fruit is all that's needed, then heat to cook the jam. There are some fruits that don't have adequate amounts of pectin in their natural makeup, so we do need to add pectin (store bought) or use juice or pulp of some high-in-pectin frui...

Chilli Oil

This fiery condiment is one I first got introduced to by my friend and big Sis Hadiza. She told me about one Akabanga chilli oil and how it's just oil but it's very spicy and aromatic. I am always thankful that she showed me the way.  When I started seeing chilli crisp and chilli oil drizzled on wonton and bowls of noodles I knew I had to try and make it myself. I've not looked back since then.  My children love it, because they add it on everything! The heat they can endure I can't believe it sometimes 🥴😵‍💫 Let's get into the recipe INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 2 star anise 1 small onion (sliced) 1 small fresh ginger (sliced) Bay leaves 3 cups dried red chilli 10 cloves of garlic Cloves  Sichuan peppercorns Black peppercorns Green cardamom All spice Salt Msg Sugar Soy sauce PROCEDURE 1. Add the oil to a cold pot or saucepan, then add the aromatics (onions, star anise, ginger and bay leaves) heat the oil on low until the aromatics turn golden ...

Simple Popover Recipe

If you're looking for low effort dish with minimal ingredients list then this is one solid one for you. The perfect imperfection that is popover. It wouldn't surprise you to know it got its name from how it mushrooms and puffs up way past the rim of its baking tin/pan. Simplicity is really the best 👌 This is quite similar to the Yorkshire pudding, the only difference being that popovers use melted butter in the recipe as opposed to rendered beef fat that the Yorkshire pudding uses.  Now that that's out of the way, let's get into it shall we?  INGREDIENTS  4 large eggs at room temperature  1 & half cups of milk  1 & half cups of all purpose flour  Half teaspoon of salt  3 tablespoons of melted butter (cooled slightly)  Butter for greasing the cavities of the popover tins. PROCEDURE  1) Before you do anything get the pans or tins you'll be using ready by washing and wiping them dry then add a teaspoon of butter in each cavi...
