Fish Roll

Ingredients

2-1/2 Cups Plain Flour
4 Tbsp Margarine
1 Egg
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
14 ounces Mackerel
6-8 Tbsp Water
2 Green Onions
1 Small Onions finely chopped
Cayenne Pepper To Taste
Enough Oil For Frying
2 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

Mash the Fish together with the Onion, Green Onion, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl and set aside.

In another Bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and margarine and use your finger to incorporate the margarine into the flour until it comes out crumbly. Add the Egg and mix it with the flour until it's totally absorbed by the flour.

Begin to add the water a little at a time until a workable dough is formed.

Transfer the fish roll dough to a work surface and knead for about 3 to 5 minutes, then cover up the dough and leave it to rest for about 10 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 1/8th inch thick, then cut it out into small rectangles (this is dependent on how big you want your Fish rolls to be) and you don't need to be perfect while cutting out the rectangles of the Fish Rolls since it's still going to be rolled - no one will see the imperfection.

Take each of the cut-out rectangles and fill it with 1 to 1-1/2Tbsp of Fish then tightly roll the dough and secure the tips a little bit to prevent the fish from spilling into the Oil.

Fry the fish rolls in a preheated oil until it's golden brown.

Serve hot, warm or cold with your favorite drink. Enjoy!

Ingredients for Gbegiri Soup

150g Black Eyed or Brown Beans

1 small smoked Mackerel/Titus

1 tablespoon ground crayfish

1 big stock cube

1 cooking spoon palm oil

Pepper and salt (to taste)

Before you cook Gbegiri Soup

Ensure you have some beef and chicken stew because the beef for the Gbegiri Soup comes from this stew.

Remove the beans coat and soak the beans for about 3 hours. This soaking makes the beans soft so that it cooks in less time. This way there will be no need to use potash to cook the beans. If you are using peeled and dried beans, you will need to soak it overnight.

Prepare other ingredients: pound/blitz the pepper and grind the crayfish.

Cooking Directions

Put the peeled and soaked beans into a sizeable pot. Pour water to cover the beans and start cooking at medium heat.

While the beans is cooking, prepare the Ewedu Soup which is used to eat the Gbegiri Soup.

Cook the beans till they become so soft that it practically melts when you mash it with your fingers. This takes about 1 hour. You will need to top up the water from time to time but make sure the water is always at the same level as the beans. This ensures that you have just the right amount of water in the soup when the beans is done.

When the beans is well done and soft, blend it. It is not advisable to blend hot food in blenders with plastic jugs so if your blender has a plastic jug, seive the soft beans with a sieve that has a mire mesh.

Pour the beans into a pot and set back on the stove, add the smoked fish, salt, pepper, crayfish, stock cube and palm oil.

Cover the pot and cook at low heat for about 5 minutes or till the oil blends with the rest of the ingredients. This is when the oil changes from red to yellow.

Stir from time to time so it does not burn.

That's it! The Gbegiri Soup is done.

Dish the soup with Ewedu Soup, get the meat from your Beef & Chicken Stew and eat with Amala or any other swallow. Enjoy
