Ms. Summy, thank you so much for these tutorials. You have just made my day! May God bless you. Now i can cook different Nigerian foods for my Nigerian husband who does not like to eat out. For a while I was running out of ideas of what to cook for him. Now I have different choices. Thank you so much.

wheres the goat

[ojs1st]

This stew does not go with banana leaf rice. its too modern. The proper stew for bababa leaf rice is LOCAL, proper LOCAL naija Ijebu stew.

[summerglow]

i was thinking the same thing too...made with palm oil. i think another rice you can use here is ofada since it's local rice and wrapping rice in leaves is a local tradition.

[ojs1st]

yeh ofada rice wuld be perfect here. the rice is not bad...lets just take it that there is no ofada rice.but the stew is a no no.

[omoibile]

If you've lived in Lagos the rice hawkers do sell this way (in leaves wrapped) and fried stew apart. Some have dodo too. I bought those while in elementry school during lunch break. The aroma of the stew scent miles away..lol.. Wish those days could come back again

[oluwalogbon58]

i went to "OMOLEWA SCHOOL " in IBADAN in the mid sixties , and to this day i remember the ASARO we used to have on specific days of the week.. the women who cooked were the ones that cooked professionally the IYA O'LOUNJE's they didnt put all the fancy stuff like shrimps in it but it tasted good..

[omoibile]

I've met people from Cuba, Guyana & Brazil here and some do speak yorubas I laughed with the way they speak. If they want to greet me instead of Bawo? They say "IBA O" lol.. They speak the old Oyo yoruba, similar to Cotonou yoruba. The Haitian girl use to say she is Anago another name for yoruba. A lot of them here in Spain and many are into spiritualism the Cuban is Babalawo and do recite incantations (amazing)

[luvergul]

dis is not nigerian food never heard or seen it b4

[omoibile]

Thats yoruba other way of cooking rice. It's delicious

[jummybaibey1]

da rice is a traditional dish in nigeria, but not da stew.

[spicedmama]

I really love this recipe. I will be sure to come back again, and to make it, too!

[remsyjones]

Nyc!!

[Mamoumoute]

I am not Nigerian but we eat like that too..in the carribbean..we eat almost the same things..but me i like to eat african food with my hands..it taste better..like fufu..i would like me to have some fufu ..i prefer (greesmeal) and some african stew...gombo with goat meat and yellow peper..i would kill someone to have something like that right now...i need to go on trip in africa... miss it..

[omoibile]

gombo is called okra and some call it ladies fingers. We have almost same food but call differently. I had a friend from South Africa came to visit he was thrilled when I gave him garri (Eba) & Okra Soup. He said they have Garri but called Yoki or Mandioca Flour. He's black. I thot we are the only ones who have Garri.

[Mamoumoute]

We eat almost the same food but we just give them other names..that s all..

[omoibile]

I mean from SOUTH AMERICA (not S. Africa)

[oluwalogbon58]

yoruba culture travelled to south america more or less intact thats why you can hear them speak yoruba in come parts of brazil , they have ifa culture and know our yoruba musicans more than the nigerians living in nigeria at times.. i went on youtube once and was shocked to see a video about a brazilian beauty pagent with the music of SALAWA ABENI accompanying it.. they know about WAKA QUEEN!! . how many of our own youth would even want to celebrate that.? too busy copying americans.

[ojs1st]

can u pls give me the link to this?wold love o see it.

[omoibile]

LOL. You make my mouth watery, where r u from?

[Mamoumoute]

French carribbean, Martinique...

This Brings Back Memories

[oluwalogbon58]

the music sounds like king sunny ade its old style juju music .... brings back memories of living in nigeria ...." epo ila.."i was just asking the boys to make sure their mum put more of these vids on youtube.. looks like they did it already!!

[naijamandy]

haha cool :)

[kokomico]

What is the name of your background music and who sang it? I remember listening to this with my dad on road trips, It brings back memories. I love this recipe.

Thank you

[sassykes]

Wow this is beautiful, thank you. Brought back lovely memories and i am sharing this with my mom, and i know she would appreciate this.

[na923]

That looks wonderful!!! I do have one suggestion, when you do your show maybe you could list all of the ingredents and the amount of them you used under "more info". I will certainly try this receipe!! Thank You!!

[SummysCC]

Thank you for your support!

You can buy leaves from any Asian grocery store. Wash them with cold water, dry with a paper towel & use scissors to cut them to size. Cook your rice with olive oil & onions and place it on the leaves while it's hot. It takes approx 10 minutes to absorb. After wrapping rice in leaves, you can freeze it, and microwave it when you are ready to eat. This dish still tastes great without the leaves, so don't worry if you are unable to find them. Enjoy!

Blessings,

Summy

[babsda1]

@SummysCC Beautiful! The Cocoyam is called MALANGA in Spanish.  You can find it or a similar type called YAUTIA in any Spanish Bodega. Don't buy if they look dry or is discolored with black fibers. this means it is old. A little pink is acceptable in the larger Cocoyam. Banana leaves can be found in the freezer section next to the Goya fruit purees in a spaniish neighborhood grocer. I found it at Key Food and even Met foods in NYC.

[Oawol]

what's the theme song? I Love It.

[freye]

Very nice. I will definitely try the recipe! If I can't find banana leaves, would the taste be very different?

[tobi4big]

i respct u ma!!!!

[africansconnect]

Awesome!

[tchijoval]

I love the idea of serving rice in banana leaves, but where can I buy them and what I need to do to prepare them for rice?..just wash them...or steam? And for how long should I keep the rice in the leave to absorb it's flavor?

[mbua1]

I say oboy na son tin dis oh. I make di wan for house and dey tin dey sweet. Thank you
