Alright. This is mine though I wanted to go pounded Yam but I didn't use a date on it.
So sticking with.
Eba and Egusi.

This is considered quite one of the most popular food in sourthern Nigeria especially the Eba
Known for its low cost and easy making.

Ingredients
Well didn't use much
Garri (Nigeria number 1 survival food)
Egusi (grinded)
Pepper (grinded)
Crayfish (grinded)
Goat Meat
Stock fish
Oil
Maggi
Salt
Pumpkin leaves

Steps :
There are various methods in preparing egusi but I option for this because of time

Step 1: Parboil your Meat and fish(optional) in a separate pot.

Step 2: pour your palm oil on the main pot and slice your onion. After some seconds add your egusi that has been soaked for a little while with warm water.

Step 3: Add your parboiled foods and Leaves(I used Pumpkin, a personal favorite)

Step 4: You can start adding your seasoning for tasting like your salt and Maggi. And wait to boil to satisfaction. Voila Egusi soup.

Step 5: Boil a hot water and soak your garri on it. Wait a little while and stir with Omorogun ( African spatula or turning stick). Voila Eba. Easy I know.

Step 6. Serve Hot with Cold water or drink (not much of eating Eba with drinks though).

Garau-Garau (White Rice and Beans with Fried Oil Topping Sauce)

Wuna good evening. I hope say I never too late into this contest.
The recipe wey I prepare so no too dey common for all part of Nigeria but for the northern part of Naija. E dey very easy to cook and dey very cost effective for family. So na very popular food for north wey dem they chop. Follow me as I guide wuna through how to make am.

Ingredients
1. Rice
2. Beans
3. Vegetable Oil
4. Cabbage
5. Cucumber
6. Onions
7. Seaosoning
8. Egg
9. Dry Pepper
10. Salt



Procedure.
Step1: Wash the rice and beans separately while they’re been cooked differently because of the variance in time it take them each to get done. Also have your egg boiled for about 15minutes.



Step 2: Cut your vegetables (cabbage and cucumber) into smaller pieces for spraying on the food later after you’re done cooking. Also cut your onions into smaller pieces for frying with the oil.



Step 3: Add some vegetable oil that will be enough for the quantity of food you’ve prepared into a frying pan and fry the onions until they’re completely fried. It varies for people how they want the final fried onions to look and that makes it tastes differently.



Step 4: Serve your rice and beans on a plate, add your vegetables on them as toppings including the already boiled egg. Then add the fried onions including your dry pepper to sauce the food up. And that’s it, you’re  all set to eat the delicacy food.



Conclusion: One exceptional thing about Garau-Garau is the simplicity in cooking it and will cost you very little money to have a garnished meal like that. You can try this at home as it is very simple to make but to have the best taste, you’ve to come to northern Nigeria, they make the best of it and second to none as far as I know.

Thanks for following up and may we all have a prosperous 2025.

The name of this Delicacy is called “Nkwobi” it’s a very delicious and very popular Nigerian delicacy which is mostly common amongst the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. This mouthwatering delicacy is made from well boiled cow foot, which is well spiced and garnished with pepper and other spices in a flavourful sauce, Oh yeah, and the Utazi leave isn’t left out as it gives the dish a slightly bitter taste.

Sauce ingredients
Palm oil
Onions
Utazi leave
Garlic
Ginger
Pepper and other variety of spices.

When prepared, the Nkwobi delicacy gives a very rich, savoury taste and in Nigeria, it’s often served as an appetizer or a snack.

The  Nkwobi dish is very common in Nigeria and is a staple in several Nigerian restaurants and is often served with a very cold Local palm wine or cold beer.

Although I wasn’t able to get all the necessary local spices and ingredients because they’re currently out of my reach due to where I’m currently situated but the little ingredients I was able to get was enough to give the dish its savoury texture and taste, not to mention the aromatic satisfaction it gave.

I would like to express my sincere wishes and congratulations for organizing the preparation of Nigerian dish here on the occasion of the New Year and Christmas Day. I am not very good at cooking, my wife and I prepared this dish together today. I don't know how this dish looks to everyone. But I hope I will do better next time. I have posted all the ingredients with which I prepared this dish below along with pictures.

This particular meal is the life support of most Nigeria students in higher institution. You can easily find it in most streets because an average hustler eats it in the morning before going out for work.

3. Vegetable (ugwu leaf) - fluted pumpkin.
4. Red oil
5. Maggi
