  13. [..YouTube..] HI! I almost made this dish to perfection as guided; but I decided to replace the beef with smoked turkey. I like the kick that smoked turkey gives, it almost taste like bush meat. I did not know that smoked turkey in the US is loaded with salt. So my little ” chef-d’ oeuvre” became too salty.My sister told me to pre-boil the turkey to remove the salt. I have been invited over for dinner to my sister’s. Guess what I am bringing? that’s right! Fantastic show as always and keep up the good work!

  19. [..YouTube..] @Kouglizia Yep your sister is right next time pre-boil the smoked fish or just let it drain in hot water for sometime. And don’t even salt the sauce because what ever you do the salt won’t totally leave the smoked turkey.Lucky you your sister is around .I really appreciate your support.Thank you.Take care

  31. [..YouTube..] @eagleazul27 I always use jasmine rice and adore it. But I don’t think that the problem is from the rice or the palm oil brand.In this recipe I am using fresh potato greens but if you have the dried leaves drain them in water for few hour before the cooking time, also add enough okra in the sauce.By the way I am using carotino palm oil that I get from Malasia.
