When I first came across this recipe, my immediate reaction was, “Wait, is this even a thing?”
You see, as a Ghanaian, I am no stranger to eggs and pepper. We have our beloved nkosua ne meko (boiled eggs with fresh pepper sauce), and, of course, there is always shito for those who like a little extra kick. So, the idea of spicy eggs wasn’t exactly new to me. We already know the vibe!
However, what caught my attention about this viral recipe was the addition of fresh vegetables such as cucumber and onions. You can even throw in any other vegetables you fancy. That little addition gave the familiar combination a completely different twist from what I was used to, so I decided to give it a try.
And guess what? For something so simple to prepare, it was surprisingly delicious!
It’s fresh, flavourful, easy to put together and absolutely worth trying. I can see this working beautifully as a side dish or even as an appetiser when entertaining.
Sometimes, the simplest recipes turn out to be the most enjoyable.
Do save this recipe because I have a feeling it will come in handy more often than you think!
