Ayamase Cakes

In my previous posts I shared how to make your own Chicken Confit,  the Nigerian Ayamase sauce and Pan Fried Chicken Pies. Using my leftovers for the aforementioned recipes, I made this quick lunch or dinner Chicken Cakes.

INGREDIENTS

200g of crushed Potatoes

400g of shredded Chicken

2 tablespoonful of the Ayamase sauce

60g of Spring Onions

Salt was omitted from the recipe as the Ayamase sauce had enough salt. If you missed the aforementioned recipes you can find the recipe links below;

AKOTONSHI (GHANAIAN STUFFED CRAB RECIPE)

Ghanaian recipes are varied and I seem to find new recipes each time, like this stuffed Crab known as Akotonshi. I was rather intrigued about this dish as I could not place it to a specific tribe in Ghana, (apart from the name suggesting it might have originated from the Ga tribe) which is a hazard guess. Please share your knowledge about this dish as it is easy to emulate with my added twist. Fresh Crabs are readily available in Ghana hence this recipe is a must try.

The easiest way to prepare this dish is to get a packet of fresh Crab meat from your fishmongers. I used my Jollof stew recipe as a base for this stuffed Crab recipe, which you can watch below.  A perfect dish to serve as a starter to impress your guest.

100g of White Crab meat

50g of breadcrumbs

20g of chopped Spring Onions

2 large chopped Tomatoes

150g of Jollof stew

1 deseeded finely chopped Habanero chilli

1 tablespoonful of Coconut oil
