THE END OF THE RICENESS

If you live in Ghana, you will know how much we love "fried rice and Chicken." "Jollof rice and Chichen". To be honest, we just like RICE. For a small country we eat an awful lot of rice. In 2011, Ghana imported more rice than North Korean... isn't that just interesting... compare our populations... and note that we also produce some amount of rice.
I'm trying to mix things up a bit. Saying no to rice is not easy but I've found the perfect replacement and I am trying to do to it everything that we make with rice and see how good or bad it turns out. So ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you FRIED WHEAT.

Ingredients                   
Wheat
Saussage
Chicken
Green pepper
Spring onions
Carrots
Powdered pepper
Soy sauce
Garlic(optional)
Black pepper
Olive oil

Method
Boil about two cups of wheat as you would rice with some soy sauce and salt in it. (Make sure its not too soft and wet when its done)
Dice up chicken and season with some salt, black pepper, powdered pepper, and coriander.
Chop up all the vegetables... (spring onion, Green pepper, onions, carrots)
Chop up garlic
In a large pan, fry chicken till its nice and brown then take it out and set aside
Fry the chopped sausages. Take it out and also set aside.
In the same pan with the oil, toss in garlic stir for about 30 second be cautious that it does not burn, add chopped onions and allow to cook for a minute or two.
Add the rest of the vegetables in this order... Spring onions, green pepper, carrots.
Be sure to leave the spring onions for about 3 mins for the flavour to come out before adding the green pepper also leaving to fry for some time whilst stirring.
Just after the carrots are added, put in the fried chicken and sausage, powered pepper and some black pepper.
Lastly add the boiled wheat, leave to cook for about 3 mins whilst stirring, taste and add some salt if necessary.

With February being the month of sauces, this is a must try. It's good and very easy to make. I made it on Monday morning before work and I was early to work so u can be sure that it definitely is quick to make.  BON APPETITE  INGREDIENTS ¾ Pound Minced Meat 2 Onions 2 small Green Pepper Powdered Pepper Corn Flour 2 Garlic Flour 1 Egg METHOD Season meat with some salt, powdered pepper, (grounded ginger, garlic and onions). Add one egg and 2 heaped table spoonful of flour to meat, mix, drop small balls of meat on a baking tray and bake in a pre heated oven till it is done all through (the meat balls can be fried but cooking them in the oven is healthier).

Mix a heaped tablespoon full of corn flour with glass of water and pour in then drop in meat balls. Add the rest of the garlic, some powdered...

GLOBAL WARMING

I was really craving for some mushrooms and when I asked where I could get some, I was told they were not in season yet. With all the noise I make about food, you would think I’d know when these things are in season, but it isn’t me; it is this confused weather. Let’s be real, this Global Warming business is no joke. We have been having “Hot and Cold”,” Yes and No” weather so long I’ve lost track of when it was supposed to start raining. So you can imagine how excited I was a when I went to the ‘Commercial Area’ and saw mushrooms sitting on a vegetable vendor’s table. They were not the wild ones but they would do. I could have gone with soup but it would take too long and I really wanted to eat some mushrooms so I made a Sausage and Mushroom sauce and it was great. SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE   Ingredients 8 or more Mushrooms 3 Sausages 2 medium sized Onions Butter/oil 1 large Green pepper Corn Flour 3 Garlic Powdered Pepper 1 thumb sized Ginger Curry Lemon pepper/ mixture of blac...
