Directions

  1. Break the eggs into a bowl, taking care not to break the yolks.
  2. Spread 1-3 dessertspoons of palm oil or other cooking oil over the bottom of a frying pan and heat until the oil just begins to smoke.
  3. Turn off the heat. Immediately add the eggs and cover tightly. The heat from the pan will cook the eggs in 3 – 4 minutes, setting the yolks only slightly.
  4. If you want the yolk very hard, turn the heat on low for a few minutes. For digestibility, do not over-heat or over-fry the egg(s).

Shish kebab refers to pork cubes marinated in lime and ginger dressing, and fried until brown and crisp or skewered and charcoal-roasted.

Ingredients                                                   Handy measures

Garlic                                                           2 cloves

Ginger, fresh                                               2 pieces

Onion, chopped                                           1 table spoon

Groundnut oil                                               ¼ cup

Lime juice                                                    ¼ cup

Black pepper, ground                                  ½ cup

Salt                                                              2 teaspoon

Lean pork                                                    2 ½ lb

Directions

  1. Put all the ingredients except the pork in the blender or leave out the lemon juice and oil.
  2. Cut the pork into chunks. 3 cm (1.5 inch) diameter. Mix thoroughly with the marinade. Allow to marinate for 2-3 hrs in the refrigerator or for 1 hr at room temperature.
  3. Heat groundnut oil (or any other vegetable oil) until it smokes and fry lightly drained pork pieces, a few at a time, until very brown and tender.
  4. Alternatively, put pork on skewers and cook over charcoal until brown and tender. Serve with jollof rice or coconut rice and a green vegetable dish or salad.
  5. Another way to prepare this dish is to roast the entire large chunk of well marinated pork over charcoal. Cut the cooked pork into pieces and serve hot with potato or yam chips and ketchup or fried rice.
