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.

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.

Sweet Potato Buns

Sweet potato is a root vegetable that is mostly eaten in many homes either for porridge, boiled and eaten with egg sauce or used for French fries. But another way to eat sweet potatoes is when used to make buns. YES ! I mean buns. I got this recipe from a  friend and decided to give it a try with some changes I made and I have became hooked. One thing I like about this recipe is that it does not require any sugar. I added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Instead of fresh pepper ,I decided to use dry chilli powder but used red bell pepper and onion to garnish it before frying. I also added nutmeg to enhance the flavour. The taste is just like you are eating sweet potato fries but in a different way. It's so yummy that you won't want to stop until you finish all. Come on let's get to the recipe right away.
