MAKE MY MANS LUNCH With me

My man is on his way home from work and I haven't had the time to cook for him lately, especially our Nigerian meal. So since I'm home today, I decided to make him something special before he got back. Today I'm making vegetable stew and poundo yam. Vegetable stew is one of my husband's favorite meals. Honestly, he could eat it with almost anything. But since he hasn't had swallow in a while, I thought this would be the perfect meal to surprise him with after work. He is usually the one waiting for me to get home because of culinary school. I didn't have class and I was genuinely so happy that I finally got to make him dinner before he got home. Making this stew is actually pretty simple. I started by heating some palm oil before adding chopped onions, stock fish, locust beans, crayfish and my seasoning. If you'd like the full recipe, I already have a detailed video on my page. One thing culinary school has changed is the way I season my food. Before, I would reach for a lot more spices. But now I keep it more simple. I mainly use chicken seasoning and Cameroon pepper for extra heat. I added a variety of proteins because those are my husband's favorite part of this meal. To finish everything off, I added my spinach. I actually love using spinach because it reminds me so much of the vegetable stew we grew up eating back home. By the time this stew was ready, it was time to make the poundo yam. Poundo yam is also known as yam flour and it's pretty straightforward. It's just hot water and yam flour. But getting the texture right definitely takes a little practice. I honestly just love taking care of my man and being able to make him one of his favorite meals before he got home really made me happy. He still wasn't home by the time I finished cooking, so I covered everything up and left it in the microwave for him. That's it guys. Bye.
