Fried Stew | Obe Ata Din Din



Ingredients

3 cans of Plum Tomatoes or 1kg of tomatoes.

100 gram tomato puree

3 medium sized onions

1 - 2 red bell peppers

4 scotch bonnet peppers

500 grams, Mixed/Assorted meat/Chicken 

Vegetable Oil

2 Knorr/Bouillon cubes

Curry, Thyme and Salt


Cooking Instructions

Blend the peppers, tomatoes and the onions together using a blender. On the other hand, empty the contents of the tomato puree into a plate and mix with warm water until slightly thick.

Then, wash the meat/assorted meat and put it in a pot of water (quantity enough to cook the meat). If cooking chicken, cook separately. Add knorr cube, curry, thyme and salt to taste. Cover and cook until tender. 

After the meat must have been well cooked, you may either fry it or put it in the oven at 170̊C for about 30-40 minutes, depending on how fast your oven. Set the meat stock aside.

Add the blended tomato mixture into a pot on medium heat. Leave to boil until the mix becomes thick with the water dried up.


Heat up some vegetable oil in a pot.  Then, add the boiled tomatoes and the tomato puree mix then stir. Stir at intervals while it cooks for about 20-25 minutes (the stirring is to make sure that it doesn’t get burnt). You may then add the meat stock and leave to cook for about 5 minutes again.

Now, add the fried or grilled meat and the knorr cube. Add salt to taste. Cover and leave to simmer for about 8 minutes.

And your stew is ready to be served with rice, boiled yam or even boiled or fried plantain x.

Avocados'

Avocados are very nutritious and contain monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s), fibers, potassium and some vitamins. Avocados are said to contain around 160 calories, 3 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrate and about 21.5 grams of fat with the majority of carbohydrates in form of fibers. You can eat them in moderation as part of a weight-loss diet or add them to your regular diet as a concentrated source of calories to help you gain weight. While Avocados contain relative high calories, the Oleic acid contained in the MUFA’s can help to reduce one’s cravings for food and is used by the body as an energy burner, instead of the saturated fat you must have assumed it was. They also contain beta-sitosterol, a compound known to lower cholesterol levels. There are lots of health benefits attached to eating Avocados from improvement in Eye health to a glowing skin tone. Avocados can be eaten with almost anything, but for a healthy diet, I would recommend eating them with Salmons, Wheat brea...
