You think you know how to cook. But I guarantee after watching this video you are going to slap yourself for not knowing these tricks sooner.
18 African cooking tricks that professional cooks have been using for generations — hiding in plain sight across Nigerian, Kenyan, and West African kitchens. Every one of them makes something in your kitchen easier, cheaper, or better. And every one of them has been passed down without a cookbook, a cooking show, or anyone thinking to write it down.
From raw pawpaw paste that tenderises the toughest goat meat in 30 minutes using the same enzyme as commercial meat tenderiser — except it is free and has been growing in West African backyards for centuries. To dawadawa — the fermented locust bean that has been delivering natural umami depth to soups for centuries before MSG was invented in 1908. From two or three orange leaves in hot palm oil that purify the raw smell in 3 minutes, to a piece of charcoal that rescues a soured pot of soup that seemed completely ruined.
The trick that cuts tomato stew cooking time from 60 minutes to 20 minutes. The wooden spoon that prevents every boil-over you have ever had. The potato that absorbs an entire oversalted pot. The reason you should never store onions and potatoes together — and how much money that one storage mistake is costing you every week.
Every trick works tonight. Every ingredient is already in your kitchen or available at any African grocery store.
Come back and tell me in the comments: which trick are you trying tonight? I read every one.
