(V) Groundnut Soup(From my soup book)

3 Tbs. groundnut paste or peanut butter(separate recipe)

1½ Qts. stock or water

2 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 onion, chopped

2 slices of fresh ginger root

¼ Tsp. dried thyme

1 bay leaf

cayenne pepper

1½ C. white yam, diced

10 small okra, trimmed(optional)

salt

(1) Place the peanut butter in a bowl. Add 1¼ cups of the stock or water and the tomato paste and blend together to make a smooth paste.

(2) Spoon the nut mixture into a saucepan. Add the onion, ginger, thyme, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt to taste and the remaining stock.

(3) Heat slowly until simmering then cook for 1 hour, whisking from time to time to prevent the nut mixture from sticking

(4)Add the white yam and cook Friday r 10 minutes longer. Add the okra if using, and simmer until both vegetables are tender. Serve at once.

Groundnuts, the African name for the peanut, are widely used in sauces that are found in African cooking.

Cook's Tip #1: You can get White yams in Latin American grocery stores, and the groundnut paste(aka peanut butter) can be found in ANY store. Or homemade(separate recipe)

I would never wish growing up in a hyper religious African house on my worst enemy. The cognitive dissonance is insane especially if you grow up in the West yet your family (and other African families around you) insist on clinging on to asinine “traditions” that are really just covers for abuse.

My Saba's Chrime

it's absolutely delicious whether you make it very spicy or not at all! also feel free to add your own ingredients to the sauce, but the important thing is making sure its smooth before adding the fish! the fish itself can be any white fish, but i normally make it with cod or haddock.

#AfricanRecipes | How to Make Cow Pea Leaves | Umfushwa, Nyemba, Kunde,Thoroko 

Cowpea leaves, commonly known as umfushwa, or nyemba in Zimbabwe, are not only delicious but also have numerous health benefits.  #africanfood 

 1. Cowpea leaves are packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. They also contain protein and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to meals. 

 2.These leaves are rich in antioxidants, which help neutralise harmful free radicals in the body, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. 

 3. Iron is crucial for the production of red blood cells and the prevention of anemia. Cowpea leaves are an excellent source of iron, especially important for individuals with iron deficiency. 

 4. The high vitamin C content in cowpea leaves helps strengthen the immune system, protecting the body against infections and illnesses. 

 5. The dietary fiber in cowpea leaves aids in digestion and helps prevent constipation by promoting regular bowel movements.

6. Cowpea leaves are a good source of vitamin K, which plays a key role in bone health by aiding in calcium absorption and promoting bone mineralization.

 7.  Being low in calories and rich in fiber, cowpea leaves can help with weight management by promoting satiety and reducing overall calorie intake. 

 8. In Zimbabwe, cowpea leaves are commonly used in traditional dishes. They add a unique flavor and texture to dishes while providing nutritional benefits.
