SEE CORRECT JAMMINGS TOH BADT !! :)

Chei!, see what Nneka sent in o! I can just imagine how indigenous Nigerians are drooling over this meal. This dish is exclusively made in Nigeria by Nigerians for Nigerians. If you haven't figured out by now, this is a platter of Ewa agoyin, (beans boiled in a special way) with boiled yam, fried plantain, beef and eggs. Hmmmmm!  If you are viewing this page, and you don't know or haven't heard of Ewa agoyin, don't worry, Im going to do a full expo on it soon. So watch this space!.

EASY SHEPHERD'S PIE

Shepherd's Pie is originally an English dish, traditionally made with lamb or mutton. Nigerians typically make Shepherd's Pie with beef, I think mostly because we are much more of a beef-eating culture than a lamb-eating one. The English (and Australians and New Zealanders) call the beef dish a "cottage pie". Naming conventions aside, our Nigerian version of Shepherd's Pie is essentially a casserole, lined with cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked.Here is a basic recipe for a simple ground beef Shepherd's Pie. I dressed it up a bit with some veggies and Worcestershire sauce.

This meal was sent in by  mizchef, a simple yet delightfully pleasing pasta dish. This kind of dish is a favourite amongst the busy professionals and those who don't have time to spend slaving in the kitchen but who still want to eat good and appetizing meals. I would suggest adding more vegetables to make the dish even nicer. Thank you mizchef. So do you think you can make a better version of this meal?  Please try it and  send me pictures.

LEGEND OF THE STEAK.

I have absolutely no idea who sent in this dish, the only info I have, is that the mysterious guest simply wants to be identified as "The Legend". I can see this guest cook has prepared a sumptuous steak dish... just take a look at those juicy tomatoes! Im going to prepare my own version of this meal on Monday.

SOUTH SOUTH DELIGHT.

This yummy delicacy was sent in by Mrs Ekpo, dear readers, I love this dish sooo much! Why?, take a good look at this meal, it is 100% HEALTHY. The fish is grilled and so is the plantain, no fatty addition or suspicious preservatives here. This happens to be a staple delicacy for the people of the Niger Delta region. Though the westerners also eat roasted plantain but its more popularly eaten with roasted ground nuts.Thank you Mrs Ekpo.  Do you have a special delicacy you love and would like to share? Please feel free to send it in.
