Good day to all the members of the SteemFoods community and to my fellow steemians in general. I am @bolaji001 and I am participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge that is currently ongoing. Today, which is the seventh day since the challenge started and the last day of the first week of the challenge, I will be participating in this contest by the @steemitfoods community, which is about us preparing our most practical recipe. I think this is a great contest idea from the @steemitfoods team, as it allows us to show and share our cooking skills.

INTRODUCTION

I am going to prepare one of my favorite food, potatoes and stew. I would guide you through the step-by-step procedure of cooking the very delicious meal.

THE INGREDIENTS

The images above depict the ingredients I used to make my delicious Potatoes and Stew. The ingredients to prepare the stew is shown in the picture on the left which include:

• Grounded pepper
• Groundnut Oil
• Onion
• Curry
• Thyme
• Salt
• Maggi

While for the Potatoes, I used:

• Potateos themselves
• Salt
• and groundnut oil to fry.

STEPS TO COOK THE STEW

STEP 1: CHOP THE ONIONS

STEP 2: HEAT UP THE OIL

STEP 3: FRY THE ONIONS IN THE HEATED OIL

STEP 4: FRY THE OIL FOR LIKE 1-2 MINUTES THEN POUR THE PEPPER INTO THE FRYING ONIONS

STEP 5: ADD WATER AND LET THE PEPPER FRY FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES

STEP 6: MIX THE SALT, MAGGI, CURRY, THYME TOGTHER AND POUR INTO THE FRYING PEPPER

STEP 7: MIX THOROUGHLY AND FRY. AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES YOUR DELICIOUS STEW SHOULD BE READY

STEPS TO PREPARE THE POTATOES

STEP 1: PEEL AND CUT THE POTATOES

STEP 2: WASH THEM

STEP 3: AFTER WASHING, SOAK THEM IN SALT WATER FOR FEW MINUTES

STEP 4: HEAT UP THE OIL

STEP 5: FRY THE POTATOES IN HEATING OIL. This should take some minutes depending on the number of potatoes you are frying. In my own case, it took 10 minutes.

FINAL STEP: Once the potatoes starts turning brown, they are ready!

OUR FOOD IS READY

It is important to note that the total cooking time is: 22-30 minutes. Yeah, it is a very delicious and easy meal to prepare. It does not take time at all.
