STUFFED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
February 8th, 2013
Stuffed butternut squash
When cooked butternut squash has the texture of Galia melon. It originated from Mexico and it is now widely grown in England, weather permitting it is harvested in the winter months and then used in a variety of ways, e.g. risotto, baked, stuffed, soups etc. etc. In this picture I have stuffed it by adding parma ham and bearnaise sauce finished off with chilli flakes or chilli oil.
For the full recipe, turn to my recipe page.
Good luck and enjoy!

IN GAMBIA!!
December 15th, 2012
Preparing Benachin (Gambian Jollof rice
Gambian Jollof rice
On my recent holiday to Gambia, I asked at the hotel where I stayed to be introduced to one of the local ladies for inspiration as to their local cuisine. I ended up with a lady by the name of Ida (she is the one in the photograph). I accompanied her to the local market where we bought fresh fish (straight from the fishermen!!), and other necessary fresh vegetables to prepare a local dish by the name of Benachin. In other words to you and me, it is known in the West as “Rissoto”. Though it is slightly different in preparation, overall the same principle applies. For the preparation, I would refer you to my recipe page!! Have fun!

Carrot Balls Cooking Video
November 5th, 2012
This is a video of me preparing carrot baaaaaaaalls! It is one of the many recipes I concocted as I had a couple of carrots left, and not knowing what else to do with it, having prepared carrot soup before, and being the genius that I am, I came up with this recipe. As the saying goes, eating carrots help you see in the dark. I don’t know how true to form this is, but I suspect it is one of those old wives tales!! This is a recipe that is easy peezy, you can prepare it with your eyes shut and you can’t go wrong. If you do, give me a shout.
If you have any problems, you know where to find me @ www.africanfusioncooking.com
So long !
