My Cookery Page

I would like to thank Florence Nyokabi Njeru of Kenya for sharing these recipes. It is great to know, no matter how far and distant we are by race, language or religion, we are certainly united when it comes to our love of food.  I am sure these recipes are home-made and tried/tested.  I love potatoes and fish dishes!!  Yummy.

Ingredients:

15 large potatoes
3 cups water
2 cups milk
1 tbsp margarine/butter
1 egg
White pepper
Finely chopped coriander leaves
Salt
Lettuce and tomatoes for garnishing

Method:

Peel the potatoes, cut them into halves.  In a medium sufuria, boil with salt until cooked.  Pass the potatoes through a sieve to get rid of unnecessary water.  Put potatoes in a big mashing bowl; add milk, margarine/butter, white pepper and coriander leaves.  Mash thoroughly using a wooden spoon or mashing spoon and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly and add to the mashed potato mixture, a little at a time as you continue mashing.  The more you mash, the creamier mixture should get, shape as desired.

In servicing tray, set as desired and garnish with lettuce and tomatoes.  Serve while hot with your favourite sauce or a generous spread of ketchup
