I have really missed a lot in this contest but I can't see myself missing out on this week contest which talks about food, so here am I sharing with you the question for this week.
1️⃣ If you had a choice to "COOK" or "ORDER DELIVERY," which would you choose, what food would you have, and why?

As much as I love to cook, I also love to eat the food cooked by others to understand the taste and learn from their cooking, lol that's another aspect of learning. I mostly do this when I eat out not really having a home delivery, If I'm to have a home delivery that means I intend eating light and simple food, nothing traditional. In this case I would go for Pizza, along side a glass of Hollandia Yogurt. That's really a relaxation point, pizza is my choice because it contains a percentage of balance diet and it has the capacity to satisfy my hunger.
Or
2️⃣ When you cook, what is one of the best dishes of your country/region? Share the recipe with us, please!
Don't mind the set up of the food, I just did a quick wrap up of this for this post. Normally, yam has been one of the major food eaten in Nigeria not minding the region or tribe. Before the modern facilities and modern foods came to play the common food known to all was boiled yam with palm oil which till this day has not lost its value in Nigeria.
Yam and Stew
For some weeks, I have not really eaten yam and with #ladiesofhive contest on board, why don't I satisfy myself and also make this post.
Ingredients
- Yam
- Groundnut oil
- Salt
This is a simple recipe that would take you less than 30minutes to wrap up, First of all, I cut out the quantity of yam for I and my niece, after which I pilled off the back and put the yam directly into a bowl with water. You can slice your yam according to the design of your choice but I choose the design you see in the photo.
After slicing, depending on the quantity of your oil, if the yam is much and you have a small oil, you can always divide into two or three section to fry. Add a pitch of salt to the yam before putting into a preheated frying pan
Allow to fry for 2mins before stirring to prevent some part from getting burnt or brown, if it burns or gets too brown it gives a bitter taste so in other to prevent this, you need to stir so the heat can circulate.
After few minutes, my yam is ready, using my frying spoon, I take out the yam and place in a filter and you can also use a paper towel to drain the excess oil out of the yam.
After all this, our fried yam is ready for consumption, you can always use a ketchup with it but I'm eating mine with a little stew I made earlier. Secondly if you don't want the normal fry yam, the second option is to break and beat an egg, adding a little salt to the egg, deep the quantity of yam into the egg before frying.
This is my entry to the ladies of hive contest, and I would love to know which food
would choose to write on. The rules and the entry to the contest can be found here
