Shito (A Nigerian Dish)




I still remember the first time I talked to her, my sweet Nigerian friend. We were cleaning the Moms and Tots house for it's official opening. That was about 6 years ago. Since then, we became good friends, soul sisters more like it. She understands me, she knows my feelings even at times when I don't utter it..yeah that's my sweet Nigerian sister. Alhamdulillah for her. 

So here I am sharing, one of my favorites Nigerian dish, her recipe. I have tried many of her other dishes...they are equally delicious. InshaAllah I'll get more recipes from her and share them here. For now, I am sharing this Shito recipe. My hubby and children love it. Alhamdulillah.


Shito

Fish of any kind (salmon, tuna, king fish, seabass) - grill

Gravy:
3 big green capsicum
1 big red capsicum
1/4 of the small habanero chili pepper (I don't dare using the whole chilly - super hot)
1 large onion
A few garlic

Blend the above altogether, simmer on slow fire until the water dries
Add olive oil, simmer until oil comes to the top
Add on chicken/beef bouillon cubes
Add on anchovy flakes (optional)
Salt to taste

Add on grilled fish (I fried mine ihiks)

Had it with Nigerian Yam...nyums...we could do the same with our tapioca and also with rice.
