Spiced Boiled Yams (Isu)

Side Dish Recipes > African Recipes > Nigeria

In Nigeria, yams are often used instead of potatoes. Any way potatoes can be prepared and served, yams can cooked that way as well. In addition, yams are also added to soups and stews. Nigerians, with their love of hot and spicy, would probably eat these cooked yams just sprinkled with hot ground red pepper.

? 4 pounds yams
? Water to cover
? 1 teaspoon salt
? 2 cloves garlic
? 1 cinnamon stick
? 1/4 cup melted butter
? 1 tablespoon ground red piri-piri chile, or substitute cayenne

Method:

Peel the yams and slice them 1/2 inch thick. Place them in a casserole, cover with water, and add the salt, garlic, and the cinnamon. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Drain the yams and arrange them>******************************...
AKKARA BALLS

This is a favorite Nigerian dish that one commonly sees in road stalls.

1 cup black eyed beans
salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
Oil for deep frying
Soak the blackeyed beans overnight. Next day, if any water is left in the soaked beans, drain it.

Now, in a blender, grind the beans with salt to taste and black pepper until beans become like a paste. Grind till there it is a thick paste but still bit coarse. Add liile water if needed to make paste. Now heat oil in frying pan.

When oil is hot, scoop one spoonful of paste into oil, repeat until there is no space for more scoops. Turn occasionally and remove from oil when brownish in color. Ready to serve with chutney or tomato ketchup.

Akara (Black-Eyed Pea Fritters)

What you need

two to three cups dried cowpeas (black-eyed peas) or similar
one onion, finely chopped
one-half teaspoon salt
hot chile pepper, and/or sweet green pepper or sweet red pepper, finely chopped (to taste)
cayenne pepper or red pepper (to taste)
one-half teaspoon fresh ginger root, peeled and minced (or a few pinches of powdered ginger) (optional)
peanut oil, palm oil, or vegetable oil for frying

What you do

Clean the black-eyed peas in running water. Soak them in water for at least a few hours or overnight. After soaking them, rub them together between your hands to remove the skins. Rinse to wash away the skins and any other debris. Drain them in a colander.

Crush, grind, or mash the black-eyed peas into a thick paste. Add enough water to form a smooth, thick paste of a batter that will cling to a spoon. Add all other ingredients (except oil). Some people allow the batter to stand for a few hours (overnight in the refrigerator); doing so improves the flavor.

Heat oil in a deep skillet. Beat the batter with a wire whisk or wooden spoon for a few minutes. Make fritters by scooping up a spoon full of batter and using another spoon to quickly push it into the hot oil. Deep fry the fritters until they are golden brown. Turn them frequently while frying. (If the fritters fall apart in the oil, stir in a beaten egg, some cornmeal or crushed breadcrumbs.)

Serve with an African Hot Sauce or salt, as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish.
