Weekend breakfast ideas in Nigeria

There are lots of weekend breakfast worthy foods one can enjoy on Saturday but in most Nigerian cities and in my family, akara and pap has carried first position. I used to wonder why in my family we take pap and akara like most Saturday mornings of every year.

We go jogging with some coins hidden in the trouser pocket just in case the akara woman is there. The process of Jogging or walking back home is completed with  a small bag in one hand, open that bag and the only thing you see inside is akara and raw akamu.

The queue for akara in some Nigerian towns  on Saturdays make you
want to taste some and also wonder if all Nigerian family serves akara and ogi on weekends.

 

Some Saturdays I don’t go jogging in the morning, so I make the delicious homemade akara balls. Sometimes, even when we are home, we want to be free of cooking on a lazy Saturday morning and just want a taste of the roadside peppered akara balls.

While thinking of what else to serve on one Saturday Morning, we all started sharing Saturday breakfast ideas and my kids were like, “Mummy don’t even bother yourself because even our friends at school tell us that their moms also serve akara and pap for Saturday breakfast”  How it started I don’t know but the love for akara and pap or akara and custard on Saturdays is overwhelming.

Akara and pap is like the most popular Saturday breakfast in Nigeria.

If you drive along some streets in major Nigerian cities and see young children or women holding dangling bags early on Saturday morning? they just visited the roadside akara seller. Homemade akara balls used to be difficult to make but not anymore.
The roadside sellers never shared their recipes until the Internet came and we can just google…HOW TO MAKE AKARA and voila, the recipes stare you in the face in their hundreds. 
Removing beans skin has become so easy now with the help of Food blender and food processors, no more hitting with mortar and pestle or manual grater or manual grinder. Women no longer go to the mills to get the beans grinded, the kitchen blender to the rescue!
I have posted many homemade akara balls recipes here on this blog and the hits they receive on Fridays and Saturdays ehn? no be small thing.
