I'm looking to make this dish. Does it taste sour? Because putting that much tomato paste without simmering it a lot may cause it to be extremely sour.
I'm from Sudan, and my father makes a very similar dish to this, which he of course learned from a Nigerian friend and roommate looong ago. He always told me Nigerians have the best food in the world, sooo peace to yall.
I love how every culture provide us with hundreds of thousands of ways to cook the same basic ingredients like beef, tomato, onion, pepper, spices, etc. ^_^
I live very near a Nigerian restaurant and the smells coming out of that place are phenomenal. Hope to take the plunge one day and give it a try because Nigerian food really intrigues me.
The reason I love rice so much is because it is such a versatile ingredient. It basically transforms into everything, curry, paella, gratin, risotto, chazuke, etc. I also love rice with soup, vegetables, and meat. Btw, the beef stew looks mouth-watering🤤
I agree. The way my mother cooks rice makes it very flavorful, and you could eat it on its own. I'm not attempting to be stereotypical, but it seems as when Americans make rice, it's cooked to taste good when paired with something else. Asians and Africans make the best rice because they treat it like the important part and not try to pair it with anything else.
Person Man Tbh wild rice is the healthiest white is actually the least good health wise, and will definitely spike blood sugar and insulin, so portion m control is key with it, however if course some people digest rice better than others so to each his.
If you leave it in water over night and then you steam it. It becomes perfectly fluffy and can absorb any kind of cholesterol heavy gravy sauce from any stew or stir fry ever.
@@hafiz7581 I've never eaten rice with a spoon. The sauce stays on the rice. I've also never seen such a runny /watery sauce that sliding off the rice or fork would be an issue.
Bring this guy back!!! Tasty is always great but Onyi’s storytelling takes this video to a whole new level. I also LOVE learning about food from different cultures.
Onyi I like the story you tell while cooking about your mom and family. I hope we'll be seeing more of you I bet you have lot of cooking story of your mom and family. The dish you prepared looks delicious!
Ray Mak I hate it because In a Nigerian household this is lunch & dinner EVERY FUCKING DAY AGH but thank god I was raised somewhere else where I eat MAC DONALDSSSSSSSSS when I want to but that doesn’t stop my mom from making rice & stew daily
Stop saying "Oh but my family made it this way, where's the _______". Everyone makes their food a different way, plus he said this recipe is leaving some things out. He said this was a very basic way
It's the most irritating thing in the world. It's the whole "No True Scottsman" fallacy simmered down into a braindead youtube comment format. "You can't have nigerian stew without dill pickles" "No! You don't put dill pickles in Nigerian stew!" "My aunt doesn't use beef for her nigerian stew, she uses road-kill cats and rubber tyres, where's the cat meat!?" etc. Nobody has the *proper* recipe for anything.
@@angelaonwuka1987 It's a stew, from nigeria, made by a nigerian man based on his nigerian mother's nigerian recipe for nigerian stew. If this video had demonstrated how to make a delicious Swedish Smörgåstårta you would be correct, that wouldn't be Nigerian stew. In this case you're wrong and you look like an idiot.
Think he skipped a step. That tomato blend he made at the beginning is usually cooked down in a cup of oil for about 40 minutes to an hour on low heat before using it in anything. It removes the acidity of the tomatoes, reduces the potency of the habanero and also takes away the bitter taste of tomato paste.
MySisterIsAFoodie I thought the same thing because my family boils down the tomatoes too but remembered that my neighbors made it the same way he did because they liked the freshness of the tomatoes. Different tribes like it different ways I guess.
Blessing Yemi-Ese Cooked down what?? Lol. Oil, then onion fry, then pepper/onion blend, then tomato blend, then tomato paste and other spices, leave for 20 mins and that's how it's done in my house 😂
There are many Africans in London and I have tried so many West African food, mostly Nigerian and the food is so under appreciated and unnoticed, it’s something I absolute love, for me Jellof rice is the best as you can have it with almost anything!
I've seen other recipes for this beef stew and I'm impressed by the amount of oil they use to fry the beef. I mean, it's way too much even for Brazilian standards and he uses the small amount of all recipes I've checked out. Made the stew, btw, delicious!
Omg! I've had this dish before. A lovely Nigerian student made this for me and some friends once as a thank you after we finished a major school project. It was literally the best thing ever.
Red pawg you like bbc? Almost everything taste better then shitty English/American food. I see you like reggae, come over to my crib. I give you good African stew.
YOO ur name is treasure? if yes, my name is treasure too! and am nigerian who watches anime and the anime in ur pfp! (Kagegurui) and hello yumeko dp :)
This Nigerian food looks delicious. I wonder I can make that for my Suhoor right now in Ramadhan Edit : I did it with slight modification in it (using Gulai (Indonesian curry) paste rather than Instant Curry powder) Twice. It's really delicious indeed even I always emptied entire rice cooker by myself. Man, I love Nigeria
I made this for my family today. Pretty much the best beef stew I've had in a long time and my family loved it and there were no left overs. Btw. He really isn't kidding when he said you can bring someone from down the street with the smell. My mom was my aunts apartment three floors above us and she could still smell it from up there. Absolutely wonderful
Tried this out, it turned out absolutely delicious. I went hard in with the garlic and hot peppers in the paste. I also added some miso, MSG, fish sauce, and extra garam masala. So it became a bit of a Nigerian-Asian fusion dish, but the underlying spicy tomato taste was strong nonetheless - an absolute treat in flavors!
@DownloadPizza Fish sauce and miso especially just go with everything! Also, I read Nigerians have their own version of a fermented bean paste, so it's not that untraditional after all it seems.
Wow... He wore peci. Man here in Indonesia and Malaysia also wears peci on their head. Although Nigeria and Indonesia separated by a continent. I definitely learn something.
We had a neighbor from Ghana when I was growing up. He made a beef dish and I know it was red. I found this video trining to find the recipe some 35 years later. I still remember the smell and want to try to make it. He would slow cook it and you could smell it all day 😋😋
there lying, I've eaten it almost every day for 16 years I'm tired of it. this how a conversation goes down in my house. son: hey mom what's for dinner mom: stew and rice son: we had that yesterday mom: no we had leftovers yesterday. today where having stew and rice
Reminds me of how sick I got of eating Githeri and now after living in America for so long, when I go home, I just want traditional foods, none of these fushions. Give me old school mokimo, githeri,etc.
A few buddies I work with brought this in one day and had me try it, It's so damn good their wives send them with a bowl for me now. If y'all haven't tried yah have too!
These african tasty videos always tend to have the “when I was a kid in Africa our mom would give the five of us one spoon as we didn’t have plates, so much fun” vibe
berthemoose it also depends on culture. My grandfather was rich his entire family had lands and worked with many companies worldwide yet ate in a single large dish in the center. Now us 2 generations later a lot less money but plates and spoons and forks and knives
My mom would always want dishes. I dont know why. My brother was old enough to work and go to school. His lazy ass bought plastic plates every week. My mom started hiding them and would act innocent. I dont know why she had a fascination with having dishes.
I have a Filipino-Nigerian friend who haven't ever been too Nigeria, today I'll try to cook this and follow the recipe as it is so my friend can have a taste of this "one-way ticket to Africa" dish, I hope my friend will like it!
Adrienne Chukwuneta the beef they used here prolly the quick cooking one used in making seared steak. Do you know how to cook it using thought cut of meat used in stews?
I am loving all of these African-inspired/ traditional recipes! Never really got to try any African cuisine but have always heard of good things. Need to venture out and find some soon!
Christine Cho I don't know what city , State or country you are living in but you should try Liberian Cuisine our food is very delicious you will not be disappointed (:
"Like in twenty minutes, you'll get a one-way ticket to Africa." Best line ever! And, for now, I must be satisfied just by staring at the whole process until I get to Africa one day, Insha Allah.
@@emergency.jergens It depends a lot on the cut of beef you use. If you're using diced steak it will ooribably take 20 - 30 minutes but if you are using a cut like chuck/stewing steak, you'll need a good 2 hours on a low heat. The longer you cook the softer the meat gets.
If anyone wants to know how it turned out, I just made it tonight. It is definitely an amazing stew, probably one of the best tomato ones I've ever had. It's very comforting, yet refreshing, as it isn't cream-based like some European or Thai style ones. I added a tad bit less salt than what was called for, but it could probably use the full amount, even though it looks like a lot. Also, the flank steak didn't come out very tender, it was still very good, but we may have overcooked it; I think next time I'll try ground beef or even chicken thighs. I think serving with rice, or at least some kind of carb, is essential as there is not much else in the stew besides beef and sauce. The sauce is VERY tomato-y, so make sure you like tomatoes (If you are a fan of Italian pasta sauce, you will love this). I couldn't taste the bell pepper, but I'm sure it adds something to the stew. I also didn't use habanero peppers and used only half a jalapeno because me and sisters are spice wimps, but I would probably add at least a full jalapeno next time for more flavor. Also, plantains are HIGHLY recommended, but not essential. Like, I wouldn't not make it if there were no plantains available, but it really takes the dish to the next level. I used this recipe for the plantains: www.africanbites.com/fried-plantains/ You can get them at many grocery stores now, and we got humongous ones (like twice the size of a banana) for less than a buck each. Overall, it's a super yummy, comforting dinner. Warm and cozy for winter, but also full of fresh flavors for summer. It's also pretty easy to make, only dirtied 2 pans, one of which was for the optional plantains. You do need a food processes or blender, but honestly getting one of those will be the one of the best investments you'll ever make in your kitchen. Definitely try this if you love tomatoes or Italian tomato sauces, they are similar but different!
we also used only about 1/2 cup of oil because we thought 1 whole cup was just too much, but honestly I might try it with more oil next time to see if it tastes different.
I've been cooking this dish for my family for years now. It's become part of our Christmas day celebration where we head out and eat this stew on a trip! Greetings from Bavaria!
Nigerians are just like us Filipinos. If our mom cooked stew they place it on the big bowl, place it on center and give us individual rice and plates. #WeLoveRice Thanks for sharing this amazing video
