Garden eggs? I LOOOVVVEEEE garden eggs. I make a wkd stew from them - with fresh steaming hot rice, yumyum! Interesting list
Princess loves garden egg stew and if you really want to make her day, serve it with boiled new yam!!! You should see her grinning from ear to ear once new yams make it to the market. I was a picky eater as a child, and my worst meal was breakfast. Saturdays were extra terrible for me becasue not only did i have to eat breakfast supervised, it was always yam and garden egg stew!!!
Yes oh, boiled yam plus plaintain too! Chei, I gotta go get some now...
Do u have a recipe for the garden egg stew. I would like to try it out
Unfortunately, I do. Once I was old enough to cook, I learned to make it so I could use the 'onje yen run si mi' (the food is smelling to me) excuse to get out of eating it!
Ingredients
Garden eggs
Pepper+Tomatoes+Onions (ground/chopped, hot/sweet to taste)
Palm Oil/Veg Oil
Maggi/Knoor to taste
Salt to taste
Boil the garden eggs in water with a pinch of salt (you can boil it in the same pot as the yam/plantain you intend to eat it with), you can tell they are cooked once you can poke a fork through them easily. Drain then and leave to cool a bit then remove the skin.
Put your veg oil/palm oil in a pan and let it heat up. (If you are using palm oil, let it ... start to bleach (gba)) Put in some chopped onion, and once the whole onion meets hot oil drama ends, put in your pepper+tomato+onion mixture, let it fry a bit, add maggi/knorr, and let it fry a bit more.
Add the boiled and peeled garden eggs, mashing them into the fried pepper mixture. Reduce the heat under the pan and let the whole thing simmer for a bit.
Remove from heat and serve with boiled yam/plantain
Enjoy (gag!)
@PTS - How do you make your garden egg sauce/stew?
I'm a leo,I absolutely hate garden eggs, i procrastinate, i love gold and i do not have an accent could you be me......... but i can't wake up at 4.30a.m so you are most definitely not me.
Nice Meme.
Mines Up, I saw Mona's tag first.
GuurrllllGarden egg stew is absolutely delicious!
@ Adunni - It seems we are the last of a dying breed of garden egg haters!
garden egg stew is awesome!!! You gotta love it especially with boiled yam!!!
I dont put onions in mine and just a tiny bit of tomatoes.
What do you mean when ou gave the response to Accent as None? I think thats its almost impossible not to have an accent. Do you sound British, American, Nigerian, Canadian? Put diffirently if you went to say Australia what part of the globe would people say you were from (If they could see you)
hmm ...
I said no to the accent thing because you wouldn't know I was Yoruba if you heard me speaking. In that context I am accent-less. On the whole though perhaps my accent could be placed as African ...
