Namibian Sweet Potato fritter

-


This is a Namibian side dish that is so delicious. It is like a sweet potato pattie like thing. I ate it along with rice stew chicken. Really enjoyable. It added a nice sweet touch to the entire meal. Really different, Here is how you make it.

Ingredients
5 Sweet Potato
2 tablespoons Flour
a pinch cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

Take a pot and fill it up with water. While the water is boiling, take your sweet potatoes peel them and cut them into small chunks in order for it to boil quickly. Put your sweet potato chunks into the boiling water and allow to boil for about 20 minutes or until your sweet potatoes are completely soft.

Once soft drain your water and mash the potatoes with a wooden spoon, to look like mashed potatoes. Once it is completely mashed, add in your butter, cinnamon, and flour to the potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon. You want your mixture to be at the point of no longer being sticky but instead a movable consistency, yet you do not want it to be too hard as well. (With this I have suggested 2 tablespoons flour but it may be a bit more or a bit less, you need to keep an eye out on the consistency of your potatoes. Make sure to not have it too dough like. You want it to be moldable but yet not like dough. You just want it to be at the stage of being no longer sticky but yet a constancy enough to mold.)

Once this is done set a frying pan on the stove and put on the heat to medium. Put in just a little oil. Allow it to heat up. As you (a little at a time) Take you potato mixture a spoon at a time and form it into small patties and place it on the frying pan and allow to fry on one side until nicely browned. Then with a fork or a spatula turn over to the other side and fry as well until nicely browned.

Once this is done. You just place it on top of paper towel and allow the oil to drain off. Your done.

Serve and enjoy.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk. Bring to a light boil and...
