SteemFoods X Steemit Engagement Challenge Contest 2️⃣ | My favorite Chef | ⭐️

Introduction

Greetings great people of Steemit Community! I want to appreciate this great platform for giving us this opportunity to write about diverse topics.

My family is a family that is blessed with diversities of chef, we have wonderful chefs scattered in my family and if I was to be around them it would have been difficult to pick my favorite chef. But for the sake of this contest and because of the required evidence I will just settle with this person that would not have made it to the first three. Meet my favorite family chef for now;

Meet my Favorite Chef

His names are Ozoagu Charles Uche, the only boy in the mist of girls in a family of four Children. I didn't have the privilege to grow up with my parents because of so many factors, so I grew up with my uncle and his wife. Because of the nature of their work my uncle's wife always returns back from work in the evening, so being the eldest among the children of the house I was saddled with the responsibility of being a chef.

My cooking journey began in my college days, I learnt my first recipe, that is Jollof rice from one of my uncle that paid us a visit, I learnt it through observations and my first ever meal I prepared in my house was Beans Porridge, I was very very happy after preparing it coupled with the fact that everyone at home enjoyed the meal.

My cooking journey was not all that smooth because there were times when I committed blunder in my cooking. The one I still remember very well was the day I tried preparing Jollof rice and beans that day was hell for me because I cooked nonsense, I had to throw the food away because nobody was at home.

The journey is now very easy because I have gain mastery over time through consistent practice, infact cooking is one thing I enjoy doing now, it has become part of me

Below are some of the dishes I can produce without stress

Meet my Favorite Chef

One of my favorite recipe is Pasta, I love preparing pasta because it doesn't require much time and much ingredients. So for the sake of this contest I want to show us how to prepare Spaghetti pasta and Beans. Below are the required ingredients;

Ingredients	Price in Naira	Price in Steem
500grams of Spaghetti	#350	1.75steem
5 balls of Fresh tomatoes	#100	0.5steem
1 bulb of Onions and fresh pepper	#100	0.5steem
Crayfish	#100	0.5steem
2 cups of beans	#300	1.5steem
Scent leaf	#50	0.25steem
Little vegetable oil	#70	0.35steem
Seasoning	#30	0.15steem

The ingredients above is no limited to what can be used it is just what I used in this recipe. Because of the variations in prices in different locations the ingredients would cost us not more than 10 Steem.

Recipe Making Stages

People have different ways they prepare their Spaghetti pasta and Beans depending on the circumstances surrounding them, but for me I like my Spaghetti pasta and Beans fried.

Stage 1

The first step is to prepare all your ingredients, the ingredients like Tomatoes, Scent leaf and Onions needs to be sliced, so we slice them and pounded the Crayfish, Ginger and peppers with a little onions together as shown below.

Stage 2

We cook our Beans first because of the amount of time required to prepare the beans and allow it to get done because we won't cook it again.

After that we cook our Spaghetti pasta to get done to our taste because we won't cook it again.

Stage 3

We put our pot on fire and allow it to dry, after drying the pot we pour our oil and fry our tomatoes, pepper, Onions, and every other ingredients needed for the recipe.

When we are done frying we add our Spaghetti pasta and Beans and stir together...

Our food is ready...

Thanks for your time here
