  • Bofrot Fritter Spice Salad Recipe

    Continuing my culinary experiments, I decided to make bofrot (puff puff) and african pepper sauce for the first time. I found this lovely blog, Immaculate Bites, that has a lot of recipes I want to try. I noticed that there are a lot of youtube channels dedicated to food. While some feature international cuisine, not many represent Africa. This clip starts my mini-series as a Diasporan cooking African food. Of course, I picked the one that requires the most practice first. No worries, it still tasted good. Below are the recipe boxes from Immaculate Bites. If you are interested in learning how to cook African cuisine, you should check out her blog and continue following my cooking series. Enjoy!

  • Shrimp and Spicy Green Peas Recipe

    I’m very excited to start my recipe-clip series. I love experimenting in the kitchen and playing with plate presentation. I am also a vegetarian who is constantly discovering ways to eat healthy without giving up on taste and spice. This video features a delectable dish of sautéed shrimp in a spicy green peas stew. Bon appétit!

    Ingredients

    1 bag Large Cocktail Shrimp
    1 bag Petit Green Peas
    1 onion
    1 pepper (I used red)
    Curry Powder
    Tarragon Leaves
    Ground Ginger
    Maggi Cube
    Spicy pepper of your choice
    Tomato Pesto Sauce
    Olive oil
    Vegetable Broth
    Coconut Milk
    Corn Starch
    Rice
     

    Instructions

    1. Cut the onion and pepper in the size of your choice and cook with olive oil until they turn golden brown

    2. Place shrimps on onion and peppers and make sure they all lay flat on the pan. Season with curry powder, tarragon leaves, and ginger root. Add a little vegetable broth to keep it from sticking to the pan. Cover and let it simmer.

    3. Boil green peas in vegetable broth. Add coconut milk and tomato pesto sauce and stir. Season with curry powder, maggi cube, and spicy pepper. Add corn starch and stir.

    4. Serve and enjoy!
