Afro Fusion Cuisine grocery shopping spree...5 dishes this week

Hello World, Afro fusion Cuisine is up and going :)-

This morning, I went to the store and made an astronomical shopping spree according to my budget...$300. I cannot stop myself from buying new things to cook as my mind and inspiration pour. I settle on 4 key dishes this week. I typically make my sauces the week-end and only do side dishes and quick stuff during the week.

I made:
1) Pepe Soup
2) Egusi Soup
3) Gari
4) Sauteed of Spinach
5) Pili Pili or Chausson ( Veggies Pocket)

I will be posting pictures during the week.

African Recipe- Chin Chin by Afro Fusion Cuisine

Hello Lovies

 

I am excited to share with you my very first recipe post on this blog. I am hunting for a locating to house my food business, which means that I am looking for the perfect spot for Afro Fusion Brands which include spices, kitchen an Home, cookbook and fashion..not easy to find  an inexpensive place in Milwaukee, WI that will be accomodating to my concept as a whole. I am convinced it is groundbreaking... I do not want to any piece of this concept without the other...I guess we shall see...

 

As I was touting the ideas of a space for packing spices and exposing my fashion, I really got a craving for croquettes as we called them in Cameroon. It is also called West Africa Chin chin.

 

Those are sweet delicacies present in pretty much all parties in West Africa. It is mostly made of flour, water, butter and vanilla, lemon or nutmeg.

 

 

Here is my take on Croquette/Chin Chin...Tell me if you like it!


RECIPE for CHIN CHIN - SNACK

Ingredient list

2 1 ⁄ 2 cups white flour
2 ⁄ 3 cup sugar
1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon salt
1 ⁄ 4 teaspoon baking powder, if desired
2 eggs
5 Tablespoons butter, cold
2 Tablespoons milk
4 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Process
in a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder if you are using.
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to dry ingredients. Cut butter in with a pastry blender until it is blended in well.In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour egg-milk mixture in.
Mix with a fork and then knead with your hands, turning the mixture out onto a counter and kneading until it forms a solid dough. The dough will be very stiff.
Roll out dough to 1 ⁄ 4 inch thick, using a small amount of flour if you need to keep it from sticking. Cut out your chin chin dough in small pieces as shown on the image or any other shape of your liking.

Get your oil hot at 375 degree F and fry your chin chin until golden brown!

Let it cool and serve at room temperature.
