15 Minute Breakfast......French Toast Sticks

Mornings can be so busy especially when it comes to making breakfast. If you like french toast you will definitely like these french toast sticks. Which will take you only 15 minutes to prepare. They can be made and stored in an air tight container or zip bag, pop them in the freezer and the next morning just warm them up in your toaster or oven and you're good to go. 

 But then again if you are too busy to do it, why not hire a chef to do all the work for you..:)

Look out for my next post this week
 
Happy cooking..
Lets get started

INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
2 teaspoons brown sugar
pinch salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence/extract
 4-5 slices bread (cut into thick rectangles)
  oil

 INSTRUCTIONS
  • Turn on your stove to medium heat
  • Cut bread into equal sized rectangles
  • In a bowl, add cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, vanilla essence/extract, milk and eggs
  • Mix well
  • Place your pan (preferably non-stick)  over the preheated plate add 1 tablespoon of oil
  • Dip the bread into the egg mixture for a few seconds
  • Place bread sticks into the pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Or until a nice smoky brown
 
 
  • When ready, put them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil
  • Serve warm and enjoy!!

CHEF TIPS
  • Dunk bread in the egg mixture only for a few seconds just enough to coat them. Do not let it soak up the eggs in order for the bread to hold its shape and not break.
  • Use a little oil. You might not even need to add extra for the next batch (if you are using a non-stick pan)

Cibwabwa (Pumpkin Leaves in a Peanut Sauce)

Image
Ifisashi.... Pumpkin leaves are very nutritious. They contain iron, vitamin A and C as well as proteins. They are widely eaten here in Zambia. In fact, you can find them growing almost anywhere. If cooked right, it's a delicious creamy dish which mostly goes with our staple food nshima or any starch you fancy.  This tasty and filling dish was cooked on a mbaula (brazier) but can also be cooked on your stove. There are variations on the method of cooking this dish, this is just one of them. And if you have not cooked or even tasted it, please have a go at it. It is yummy! Look out for my next post soon. Happy cooking.. INGREDIENTS 180g (3 cups) pounded groundnuts 1.25g (1/4 teaspoon) bishikisa /bicarbonate of soda (optional) 11.36 g (2 teaspoons) salt 1 1/2 cups water 3 medium sized tomatoes 1 large onion a bundle of fresh chibwabwa /pumpkin leaves INSTRUCTIONS Pumpkin leaves are covered in fibers which need to be removed.

Vimbobo (pork trotters )

Image
Pork... I can barely stand it, especially the smell. But, I don't mind cooking it. Today's recipe is pork trotters AKA vimbombo . When cooked right, the meat should easily fall off the bone in a thick and gooey like gravy,yum yum😋. I feel these trotters should not be heavily spiced as they have a flavor of their own. They take quite a few hours to cook but easy to prepare. I cook them quite differently from how they are normally cooked here in Zambia . How? You may ask, well, I first brown my trotters  in a little oil then throw them in gravy and let them simmer away while I carry out my day.Simple😃 Lets see how it goes. INGREDIENTS 1 pkt pork trotters 3 large tomatoes 1 large onion Salt and pepper Cooking oil Pinch of cayenne pepper and paprika 2 TBSP tomato paste UTENSILS Thick bottomed pot METHOD Rinse your trotters under clean running  water and Set aside to drain. While they drain, grate tomatoes and  cut onion into small cubes (if you ha...

The Kapenta Quest

Image
For some reason kapenta is generally not liked by most people (especially the young generation a.k.a generation X). So many people claim to be allergic even when they haven’t tasted it. Could it be its smell, taste or appearance? Well, I can’t blame most people; it generally has a strong chocking smell when being prepared (you can literally smell it miles away) and it is not so great in the presentation department. The few times I have eaten it, it’s been bitter with a strong after taste. Kapenta comprises of two species called Stolothrissa tanganicae and Limnothrissa miodon. These are basically sardines that come in different sizes and shapes. With that being said, I have been on a short quest to learn how to prepare it well. I believe we have the power to make food taste and look good if we try to. There’s one person’s kapenta I can eat and that’s my mom’s. My mom prepares it pretty well, and no, I am not being biased. It has a nice sweet taste which I later discovered comes from...
