~***Attiéké***~ Plain just finish cooking
Cooked and Ready to eat Attiéké with oil maggi,onions and tomatoes
~***Deep Fried Tilapia***~
Double Steamer Pot for cooking Attiéké on Stove Top
~~Ingredients~~~
2or3 Tilapia fish (whole)
1 bag of Attiéké
1/2 cup olive oil for the Attiéké
*(ALOT)*:) veggi oil for the fish
ENOUGH FOR YOU TO DEEP FRY THE AMOUNT OF FISH YOU HAVE
5or6 maggi
1 large onion
1 medium tomato
Ok first I will do the Attiéké Insha Allah, cooking Attiéké is similar to cooking couscous if I'm doing it the quick way i will pop the whole thing (without plastic bag of course) in a tupperware bowl make sure bowl is big enough because it will almost triple in size once it's completely crumbled so put it in plain no water or nothing and let it warm up enough to were you are able to break it apart and no lumps. So after all that
I will add 2tsp of vinegar(clear) plus a half of cup of water stirring ***no lumps***crumble 2 maggi cubes and stir them around and then I pop it back in the microwave I keep doing this a couple of time***just ***the water though not the maggie and vinegar and each time I will add less and less water until the texture is like grits but dry **see pic above*** when it's done and dry I will sprinkle the olive oil on top stir it in and then slice **Raw** onions up into thin slices and cut up the tomato into chunks and sprinkle across the top like a salad.
stove top method is pretty much similar except I use the double pot steaming method This way takes longer. To me ***microwaving the Attiéké taste just the same and less messy and much faster and you get less clumps,where as when doing the double pot steaming method it tends to clump up so you have to really keep and eye on it and break it up good.Ok fill bottom pot with water and bring to a boil once it's boiling set the Attiéké on top and cover with the lid on tight ***DON'T FORGET THE LID***or your will be cooking it allllllllllll day lol :). Let it steam for about 15 min and take the top part of the pot off and pour in a much BIGGER bowel and start breaking the Attiéké up oh yeah the holes in the double boiler should be small because as you start breaking up and pouring it back into the double boiler (top part) the Attiéké will start falling through the holes **so small holes*** and smaller than the ones shown in pic above or else you will have a big mess on your hands and it's just like cleaning up couscous. Ok now so break it up in the BIG bowel and if it all doesn't break up put it back on and keep doing this until it's all broken up . Once it's all broken up pour all of it in the BIG bowel add a little water,oil,maggi and steam it one more time and that's it basically. Once it's done steaming and soft enough to your taste garnish it with your onions and tomatoes.
Fish (Tilapia)
clean fish good inside and out
cut slit into it like shown in Pic above rub it down with maggi cubes crumble one or two cubes in a bowl and sprinkle a little bit in the slits and the inside and deep fry it on both sides once done take it out and let it rest in a stainer and that's about it. Enjoy Fish & Attiéké
