Great content! Just btw - kontomire is actually coco yam leaves ( the greens for a starch grown in Ghana). Spinach is typical diasporan replacement in Kontomire stew but it’s not the same thing.
OMG I just googled what coco yam leaves are and here in the Philippines they're called dahon ng gabi (taro leaves) we usually dry them and cook it in coconut milk and coconut cream and it's one of my favorite dishes (we call it laing). I will definitely try out Kontomire stew. By the way I'm half Ghanaian and half Filipino and to learn that both cultures cook the similarl ingredient is so cool to me. And no spinach is no where near the taste of taro leaves.
Yo I love being black. My family is from Guyana. We does call bofro fry bakes! It's literally the same. There's also a dry version that doesn't use oil. So good!
my family is from somalia. we have the same thing. we call it buur. we fry it. we mostly eat it during Ramadan. it's a great way to break your fast, esp with dates
@@Eurowuzhere my family also has samosa with it as well🤤🤤. the sweetness of the dates and the savoury-ness of the buur + samosa. it's also big in neighbouring Swahili culture too.
This was so good and educational! More videos need to put a spotlight on recipes from African cultures. I think the fact that there were so many ingredients most Americans have never heard of shows how important these kinds of videos are.
For the people that want to make the spinach stew, make sure you cook the egusi very well or you will be sitting on the toliet after u eat🤣🤣(note: you don’t have to add the egusi if you don’t want too)
Thank you for sharing the beautiful and unique cuisine of west Africa . Everything you made looks super delicious and the presentation was very gorgeous 👏🏾💕
Those recipes look great and I know she got a big uptick of confidence with her mom and sis liking it so much. Her mom seems like that kind of woman you wouldn't dare disrespect. But at the same time give the best hugs that I can make you cry. So I'm going to tell you guys something that once you see it you can't unsee it. I think that you look like you could be Kevin Hart's sister dude. Straight up. This is a light-hearted fun video to watch.
The bofrot turned out good, I sensed it was runny. Mi y3 Ghana ni (Am a Ghanaian) Edit: the sauce that comes with the yam is called *meko* pronounced as 'm3-co' You did a great job 👍
Palm oil production is actually very unsustainable and leads to deforestation. People are beginning to stay away from palm oil or products containing palm oil unless it has been sourced ethically and sustainably.
@@kojo9228 palm oil has always been sustainable in local African communities, it becomes unsustainable when forests in Southeast Asia are cut down to make way for palm trees. The problem is not with palm oil, it’s the production in many SE Asian countries.
I’m going to try making the stew and snapper! I’m African American and have never tasted but your enthusiasm and taste test approval from mom and sister makes me wanna do it! The steps and ingredients seem easy enough to do and there’s no spicy stuff so I’m sure I’ll love it.
This is so exiting to watch and i can learn more about ur culture :)) I am from Germany and in my social studies class, we talk and learn about Africa at the moment and also its history :)
@@tewaa23 I think it's groundnut soup. But the rest of the world doesn't call those things groundnuts. In other English speaking countries, it's peanuts. That's what got me confused 🤣
I know the food was good because mom’s eyes were in the back of her head each time she took a bite and sis was snapping 😭👏🏾 that means the food was bomb!
She wasn't able to do it because she made it too watery. The mixture is supposed to be kind of thick and stretchy; that makes it so easy do it with your hand or ice cream scoop
What type of yam is that? It looks like cassava root/yucca to me. Also, that fish recipe looked so juicy and flavorful! Could someone tell me what it's called? Should I just google Ghanian-style red snapper recipe?
You're tried after cooking everyday all day??? Its the best things ive decided to start doing.. Not only and i not as lonley anymore but im healthy and occupy my time perfecting dishes.
Ayyyyeee where my Ghanaians at?! WE LIT🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Yesss ma’am 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Wassuppp!✌🏿

🇬🇭 This is the first stop on my never-ending binge of Ghana on TH-cam. I need to get back next year! 🇬🇭
I actually had plans to make a trip to ghana this year but covid stopped that. Are you an african or african american like me
God bless you bless and died for you all
Take me with you
LOL I have no indulged as well a year later
I'm not even Ghanaian but the love of food has brought me here! That looks tasty af!

This is kinda like pholourie🇹🇹 the way it's being added to the oil
Your mom and sister is so cute! Well done!

I'm Cameroonian 🇨🇲 and the first two dishes are very similar to some of our dishes too it's so fun
I love how both of them liked everything

Good tip! 😆 I don't add egusi as I've not had it before, and it's hard to find where I live.
@@ruffey1748 yes,u can replace it with egg instead of egushi
I have never heard of it, is there an alternative?

Elise is about to be my new fav! She killed that winter photo shoot too!
Ghanafuo for the win 😍😍😍 everything looked so bomb omg! I'm Ghanaian in spirit so I was taking notes sha 🤣👀
Akwaaba our spirit sister
Chileeeee, now you KNOW that bofrot dough was too liquidy lol
I waa like herh 🤣🤣🤣
Facts lol
i love your energy and your sense of humor!!! also that all looked so delicious.
I want to try the red snapper recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Sheeshh, she got more dedication than me because making Ghanaian meals everyday is a lot of work 😭🇬🇭
Thank you for sharing the beautiful and unique cuisine of west Africa . Everything you made looks super delicious and the presentation was very gorgeous 👏🏾💕
I love Ghanaian culture! These recipes looked amazing!
Girl, you are gorgeous. Thank you for introducing me to Ghanian food

You did a great job 👍
The beignet (bofrot) is normally runny
I could watch her cook all day from her personality to her culture she’s so entertaining and relatable!
Kontomire without palm oil?? Ei! The rest look good though!
Palm oil production is actually very unsustainable and leads to deforestation. People are beginning to stay away from palm oil or products containing palm oil unless it has been sourced ethically and sustainably.
@@kojo9228 I hear you and agree......it’s delicious though right?!
@@kojo9228 palm oil has always been sustainable in local African communities, it becomes unsustainable when forests in Southeast Asia are cut down to make way for palm trees. The problem is not with palm oil, it’s the production in many SE Asian countries.
Right, I need my palm oil.
At my home We normally make it without palm oil. We found it that it’s tastier without it. But we definitely use it with our Abom dishes
Those dishes looked yummy. Looking forward to your next video.
I love her mom & sister feed back!! Her little sister wasn't playing!
I’m going to try making the stew and snapper! I’m African American and have never tasted but your enthusiasm and taste test approval from mom and sister makes me wanna do it! The steps and ingredients seem easy enough to do and there’s no spicy stuff so I’m sure I’ll love it.
nkontomire is the leaf of the cocoyam plant, very similar to taro leaf, not spinach (though spinach is a decent substitute flavourwise)
Her mom taught her well, this family is so sweet
I’m SO here for the Ghanaian representation!! Thanks Elise!
As a ghanaian i never had fried yams with snapper....it’s usually with tilapia! but the snapper looks good
Hop on snapper. Very delicious. I only have fried yam with it. Yum!
I love her energy!
This was so interesting! I definitely want to try all these recipes!
I love seeing Ghanaians representing!!!
Finallyyyyyy 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🔥🔥🔥🔥we fireeee
Love this thank you sis food is in point LOVE
This is so exiting to watch and i can learn more about ur culture :))
I am from Germany and in my social studies class, we talk and learn about Africa at the moment and also its history :)
Sis is out here making me wanna go back to Ghana
I loved this. More cooking vids with African food pls
Omg she wasted all the yam 😂 7:03
She is gorgeous! 🥰
I love this,all the things am used to eating in a Ghanaian home🇬🇭💕
Sis they sell smoked Turkey at regular grocery stores, at least where I live they do.
Even my local Kroeger owned grocery chain sells smoked turkey. It's nothing fancy.
Walmart has smoked turkey necks and turkey wings.
Yes my mum gets smoked from our local grocery and use it to make spinach stew.
Can you make red red or peanut stew sometime?
Now what do you know about all that! Those are two of my favourite things to eat, so yummy!
You mean Groundnut soup
@@minerva_appiah Yeah, we call it groundnut in Ghana, but it's made with what a lot of places call peanuts right?
Peanut stew? As in garden egg stew with ground nut paste or ground nut soup?🤔
@@tewaa23 I think it's groundnut soup. But the rest of the world doesn't call those things groundnuts. In other English speaking countries, it's peanuts. That's what got me confused 🤣
the food that she was making for breakfast is EXACTLY how you make bur in somalia
Loved this so much ❤️🇬🇭
I Looove koko I would drink it every morning when I was in Ghana 💕💕
These dishes look absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for sharing them with us :)
Great job! Loved watching this
What a cute family! Keep the traditional meals coming!
come on sis. i know you can do that bofrot better than that
Is there a difference between Bofrot and puff puffs or just different names same food
Same food but bofrot is Ghanaian and puff puff is Nigerian
Love this and your mom seems so sweet❤️🥰
I'm gonna need a house tour, mama!
i love how the mom said "ta-ta" with the little cute wave
I know the food was good because mom’s eyes were in the back of her head each time she took a bite and sis was snapping 😭👏🏾 that means the food was bomb!
Yam and kontomire stew is the best combo .
Liked before the 0:01 mark!😂❤️❤️
So that they may eat it and judge me. 😂
Ur Ghanaian accent is so cute.
Love this! You did your thang!
I guess the fish was pre-cleaned. I definitely like this video. The breakfast looked so good
Looks like it. Based off how she was holding the knife and what not, it didn’t look like she would have been able to do it with those nails on
I love this video. Being half korean my mom is my hardest critic when I make Korean food. Lol.
Did the bofrot dough rise? It looked too watery but you did a good job
Gorgeous women and I love all their personalities.
Mom: You did wonderful! A lot of work put into this.
Sis: Minus two for my bone. lol
They are so adorable watching from Texas
Yo I love her personality.😂
You are lucky. My mom is a wretched cook. My family is happy when I cook.
Omg your mom is too cute 🤗
I wonder if the spoon can work with the donuts. I don't think I can do that hand thing. It might turn out into a cactus or something.

It’s west African Yam, we eat cassava too but that’s not what she had in the video.
More Elise videos pls!!!
We use tilapia in our house.
Ok. This girl needs a cooking show. She's a great host.
You have a beautiful family!!
How long did you cook the fish for? What temperature?
I love spinach stew.
your mom is so prettyyy
You should do Belizean food next 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
You look good 💯💯
I want to make all of these dishes!! 😍
You're tried after cooking everyday all day??? Its the best things ive decided to start doing.. Not only and i not as lonley anymore but im healthy and occupy my time perfecting dishes.
youre supposed to soak the yam a little first. but you did a good job
Energyyyyy🇬🇭
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
Amen 🙏🏾 God bless you
Isn’t she trust from KC undercover
My favorite is groundnut soup
So the lunch dish is not palava sauce?
The tomato mixture is pepper sauce
I miss eating the donuts.
Her house is beautiful 🥰
I made ñame yesterday 😛
*Ghanaian* not Ghanian lol
Beautiful family
What’s her TH-cam
I love allot the ingredients are vegan & sustainable 🤍😌🥰✌🏼
Ghanaian is spelt wrong in the title
All looks delicious
I loved this!
