Hello friends,

Wow, I’m so excited to be back with you guys after a couple of weeks. This post is one of my favorite as I had so much fun compiling this list. It was a bit of a challenge as I had a list of about 20 different foods from all over the world which I wanted to post but unfortunately I’m doing the top 10 food that I love and I hope you guys love it too. I’ll be going straight to my list now guys and I’ve also included a video link on how to make these delicious meals here. enjoy!

1.  Fried rice

this is my first on the list as I find this meal to be very balanced as it contains both vegetables, proteins and definitely carbohydrates. It can be garnished with different ingredients like shrimps, chicken liver or kidney, sausage, green beans, etc….Usually a must have at most Nigerian parties as it is very tasty and easy to eat at an event without making a mess of yourself or take home. It is quite easy to make for people who have little time to cook and very nutritious as well. On a typical day, you want to have fried rice with some fried or grilled chicken or fish depending on individual’s preference.

 

2.  Ofada rice and sauce

This is another amazing meal you will love to try if you haven’t yet. Although can only be found in Nigeria or a Nigerian restaurant outside Nigeria as the rice specie is being grown locally and it has it’s unique taste and aroma which makes it different from other species of rice. The Ofada sauce is made in a special way to compliment the rice which makes the combination astounding.

3. Gizdodo

 Gizdodo is a made up of chicken gizzards and fried plantain which is cut into small pieces. I love this meal because of how tasty it is and also alight meal which can be eaten anytime of the day. you can have this as a whole meal by itself or with some rice. This meal can be found mostly in a Nigerian restaurant but the ingredients are accessible from almost anywhere you are in the world and so easy to make.

4.  Jollof rice

Jollof rice is like the most popular meal from Africa. Different countries from the continent has a different mode of cooking this popular meal but it has been argued severally that the Nigerian Jollof rice is the best even though personally I think there’s no basis for comparison. I have tasted the Nigerian Jollof rice, Ghanaian Jollof rice, Mali Jollof rice Gabonese Jollof rice and Cameroon Jollof and they all tasted so good. They have common ingredients like peppers, tomatoes, rice ,onions, seasonings, carrots. Even though their mode of preparation might be different, they all have similar looks no matter what country it is being made from.

5.  Egusi Soup

  This is a vegetable soup made with spinach and blended melon. it has a combination of other ingredients like palm oil, fish, beef, crayfish etc… It is usually taken with pounded yam, or cassava flakes popularly known as “garri”.

 

 

6.  Seafood okra

This is also another soup I love so much. This is not a meal on it’s own , you will require some solid meals like pounded yam, cassava flakes or other solid food of your choice to go with this. It is made up of sliced okra, shrimps, fish, crab, some pepper and some other seasonings and condiments to enhance the aroma of the soup and makes it taste yummy. If you haven’t tried this soup yet, i encourage you to do so now.

7.  Mashed Beans (Ewa agoyin)

This is one of my favorite protein based meals. It is very rich in nutrients and also a purely organic meal. Not so easy to make but I can trust you to be able to cook this to a perfection once you follow the steps in the video link I’ve attached to this post. Usually people with heartburn or ulcer avoid this meal due to hotness of the sauce. Aside from that, it is a very delicious and nutrient dense meal. It can be eaten as a meal on it’s own or have it with some slices of bread.

8.  Yam Porridge

This is a very easy delicacy and can be served as either breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is made up of yam, peppers, tomatoes, palm oil , crayfish and a varieties of ingredients depending on how much nutrients you want in your porridge. This is also a high calorie food therefore should be taken in moderation if you are trying to watch your calorie intake.

9.  Rice and Beans

This is one of the simplest meals on the list and can be served with some tomato sauce or stew. A mixture of rice and beans or can be cooked separately. You can have this meal anytime of the day but its popular as lunch or dinner. Simple but tasty!

10.  Pancakes

 Freshly made pancakes are my favorite breakfast anytime any day. This can be found in almost any country and it is so easy to make. I use flour,eggs,milk and sugar when making mine but other people might add other things to theirs. I have this as a meal on its own and can be served with sausage, syrup, nutella, jam etc. I believe anyone reading must have had pancakes before and if you haven’t yet, its not too late and i recommend making a fresh pancake over the frozen ones or the ready mixed as other ingredients you don’t know might be in the mix.

 

And that is my top ten food I have shared with you guys, I hope you find or discover some meals you never tried before from this post. I assure you they all taste amazing and it is worth trying any of the meals I have listed here.
