CAA is teaming up with Edible Boulevards as part of their “Celebrating Our Roots” Cooking Class series. Our Cooking with Tamuno class on Saturday, December 9th, at 11 am will feature a dish from Tamuno’s heritage: Nigerian Stew. You have the option to join virtually from your own kitchen and/or follow along to learn some helpful tips from Tamuno.
Nigerian Red Stew is a popular and delicious dish in Nigerian culture. Tamuno shares: “This stew is a version of one my father (Tamuno Sr.) used to make. We would have it at celebrations and family gatherings. The true measure of success for me was when I served this dish to my mother and she enjoyed every last drop.”
No wonder she loved it, with its flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and fresh vegetables. Tamuno has transformed this traditional dish into a plant-based version by using tofu instead of animal products. When you try it, you and your loved ones will be pleasantly surprised by the tofu’s satisfying crunch—just as Tamuno’s mom was!
The registration fee for this one hour class is $5.00, but it is free for students and individuals who are unemployed. The class will be conducted through Zoom, and you will receive login instructions after completing the registration process.
CAA and Minneapolis Edible Boulevards make the perfect team because they are known for teaching our community how to cook affordable, easy, and delicious meals. They have challenged us to create a dish that costs less than $20. We invite you to join us in this fun challenge by heading out to get your ingredients so you can cook along with Tamuno (note these are the prices Tamuno found when he was out shopping).
