2014 has been a very good year for Nigerian Cooking. New recipes, new exciting things to try, beautiful pictures, fantastic plating, and most of all the use of technology in the kitchen. History will record 2014 as the year, the Nigerian Kitchen Revolution kicked into full gear. I hope you have been convinced now, and will go into 2015 more determined to continue using technology for everyday mundane cooking tasks. I thought to do a quick post on how a food processor is the next best thing in a Nigerian Kitchen. See, why you need to follow the blog on Instagram. I posted these videos sometime ago. I have two food processors – a Kenwood, what I call my first love, but it quite big and I only use it when I have large volumes to prepare. My second baby is a Chef Tony Tmix – hand-held food processor. It is a much smaller device, and I use it when I have smaller quantities and need to do something quickly, rather than lugging out the Kenwood from the kitchen cupboard. Here are my 10 uses of a food processor in a Nigerian Kitchen:
1. Make Pounded Yam. See video below
See post HERE
2. Pound Ede (cocoyam) to be used as a thickener – see picture below
3. Still hand chopping okro – tsk, tsk, tsk. Use a food processor – see video below
4. I have a post coming up soon, in time for Christmas, to make the perfect Coleslaw, my mother’s Coleslaw. No need to manually grate, please use a food processor. See videos below
To grate Carrots
To grate Cabbage
5. Crayfish harbours a lot of dirt. Many a time, I have been burned by the signature grit, crayfish can bring with it. Here is my tip below, and a picture of the result.
6. You want to grate water yam for Ekpang, Ikokore, Oto or Ojojo this Christmas? Use a food processor

7. You need to roughly chop onions and ata rodo (scotch bonnet/habanero pepper this Christmas, for something like Asun for example. Leave your chopping board in the cupboard, and use a food processor
See post HERE for Asun
8. You need to make a large batch of Moin Moin for Christmas, don’t bother with manual peeling, use a food processor.

9. Washing bitter leaves in a food processor. See video below

10. Still mashing Ewa aganyin with a wooden spoon, errrrr. Use a food processor – see the video below

I hope you enjoyed my 2014, a year in review. I will also be posting the many uses of a hand mixer in a Nigerian Kitchen. Let us keep slaying in the kitchen in 2015. Stress free.
