• Hi Guys,

    So I was thinking of a recipe to put up, I wanted to put up one that I havent seen online yet, so I asked my Master Chef, my mum, and she told me about ojojo. You see I wont pretend that i have heard about this before but  was ready for the challenge. The plan was that she was going to cook it and I was going to watch, but being the person I am I decided to try it out myself and use my family as my guinea pigs. Guess what it turned out nice…..Yay me. This is basically a snack that people apparently eat with Eko, weird I know. Personally I think it is fine on its own especially if it is prepared well. I hope you get to try it out and enjoy it as much as I did.

    Ingredients 

    3/4 water yam

    4 Hot Jamaican Pepper

    1/2 Bulb Onion

    1 teaspoon of Curry

    Cube of Maggi

    1/ 2 teaspoon  of Salt

    Dry Fish

    1 1/2 teaspoon of dry Crayfish

    3 teaspoons Dry pepper

    Olive Oil

    • Make sure to put the dry fish in hot salted water for 7-10 mins

    • Add the diced onion, pepper and fish into the grated water yam and mix thoroughly using a spatula

      Getting water yam is not easy, can I use normal yam? If no tell me and give me reasons.

        Normal yam would not provide the same texture. But you Can try it as it may result in a new recIpe 🙂
