Beans Porridge Recipe

If you are wondering what to make for lunch or dinner then wonder no more because this beans porridge recipe that i am about to share with you is so easy to make and delicious to the taste buds. You can eat it just on it's own or pair it with rice, potatoes, yam, plantains or even pasta. The secret to the softness of this beans recipe is that the beans are soaked for over 6 hours before cooking. The best is even to soak it over night. But do the one that is convenient for you. I also added parsley, celery, ginger and garlic. The taste is so good and the flavour is out of this world.

Vegetable Sauce(Spinach) Recipe

Yes am in love with eating vegetables. So I make it in different ways. In this particular recipe i add raw melon seed or peanut paste, whichever one u have is ok but the taste is slightly different from each other. I used smoked fish but you can use fresh fish, dry fish, beef, cow skin, chicken or what have you? I also love the hint of cumin and white pepper. I prefer pairing it with boiled unripe plantain but u can eat it the way you like. Other suggestions are potatoes, rice,  yam and ripe plantains or even corn meal (corn fufu). Use the one you have, it's ok...

Cameroonian Bean Pudding (Koki) Recipe

"Koki" is one of the Cameroonian dishes i loved so much when i was growing up . but this bean pudding is is different from the usual moin moin we know in Nigeria. It is made with palm oil which gives it this unique colour, flavour and taste. I like puddings that are tied with plantain leaves before steaming because the fresh leaves gives the food a very nice aroma. The only thing i do not like is that its quite tasky and has many procedures. You have to really make out time to prepare this dish and i asure you that the time you spend on making it is worth it.
