Our food in Africa is amazing, my father is 100 hundred years, never step his feet in hospital, because of organic food.
I think chef Justin is ready for his own show... Spin-off "Unapologetic Chef Justin" 😆 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
👍🏿
For real! Lol
The chef looks to be a nice person.yall should have him on more often. He’s pleasant
In Puerto Rico cassava is called yuca, we eat it boiled with some salt in it. We also eat it fried, but I never knew you could eat the leaves. Another thing Africa is teaching us. Thank you Chef Justin.
Good. In Africa we got 4 to 5 or 6 ways of Preparing both leaves and roots.
We can do your way.
And we can cook roots half way then soak it in water 4 2 weeks. Becomes soft and wash in fresh water ready to eat as a treat"Mitewe" Or pound the soft soaked Root till becomes a dow then wrap it in smoked banana leaves. For a long conservation.cheese like. U only peel hard top layer but soft In side. In past peaple going for long journey used it. It holds uor stomach for long nd stays fresh. It s called "Rowe or Bulobe" in East Africa.
Or we dry the roots for days. When is dry, is grinded to get flour for "Ugali of Foufou" africain popular dow😉
@Burundi Shall Smile 1Day - Thanks for the information. We also grate the raw root, season it with salt, then add oil that has been infused with achiote to make it turn red. The cassava will turn yellow. We then take a certain amount spread it in our hand, then place previously seasoned and cooked ground beef in the center, fold the cassava unto the beef covering all the beef, then we deep fry it, we call this alcapurria. We take this same mixture minus the beef and spread it on banana leaves, this time we'll use cooked pork as a stuffing, place it in the center, fold over the leaf, tie it up and boil it in salted water, we call this pasteles. Do you live in Burundi?
@@loveandpeace3545 Interesting dish😋 u have.
I do go back nd forth. I live in South Africa.
@Burundi Shall Smile 1Day - Hi, the information you provided about the different ways of preparing cassava was so interesting. Maybe we can continue discussing our cultures, if it's alright with you. Can you provide an e-mail.
@IAS Productions - So I am guessing that we got the name yuca from the people of Sierra Leone. Thanks for the information.
We have a similar dish in Trinidad and Tobago called callaloo made from the leaves of Dasheen. There's also a variation of it in Jamaica. Wow we still have so much in common.
We have callaloo too in Rwanda and Burundi, we call it Rengarenga. It's one of side dishes that goes with Rice and ugali
As i got the notification, immediately tune it, especially in this case, for the food. Damn! it is torture looking at those delicious food. You all enjoy it, y'all deserve it, beautiful family! Continue to inspire the global black family. 1 more thing, love and respect master Chef Justin. He is mellow is his cooking, patient in his explanations, you could hear & see the love for his craft. Amazing stuff, even though my jaw hurts from hitting the floor so much, hhahhaha lol. Much love & respect always
😂
Yes is a popular dish in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Africans r 1.East and Central Africa too
Zambia too we love it even here in the UK we buy it.
I last ate isombe very long time ago. Your food videos make me feel like running away from England and that will happen soon God willing.
I am from the Caribbean we eat cassava root a lot.
Yep we do I didn’t know you could eat the leaves
@@thebridge5483 It was an acquired taste for me, i am only used to lettuce, okra, jute leaves etc.
Good.
Well in Africa we eat both Roots nd leaves. We make Roots as treat, as flour, "Ugali" African dow.4 to 5 way of making the roots b4 eat. We can half cook then soak in Water 4 weeks, then get soft. Ready to eat. Is called" Mitewe " in Great lakes. Or can pound the soft Mitewe to make a dow, wrap in smoked banana leaves as packaging.it s for long conservation or long journey (in past, Africans used it for long travels or migration) it holds long in Stomach, u don't get hungry as fast. It matures like Cheese.the out gets hard as days go on U only peel the outside layer to reach the inside like an old cheese.or fry. We have many ways of preparing Cassava. We can make a high spirit Alcohol too out of sour Cassava roots . "lutuku or Kanyanga, or Gongo" Vodka ll look like a soft drink if u compare. Is illigal to sell it publicly in most Afrikan Countries. Governments say is unhealthy but is a scapegoat because it out win over European Alcoholic companies in my personal view. Africans still make it underground anyway.
Liberians eat the leaves too
@@thebridge5483 Cassava leaves are nice
Now thats what you call soul food... He make it look so easy... nothing but love in that dish ❤
I swear by both my departed and living ancestors, that cassava soup must be tasty, and the food just looks simply woooo!!! In all honesty, you can see the passion and the love in that man's soul when he prepares ya'll food. May our ancestors continue to bless him.
💯
I can sure you it is amazing, it's my favourite meal.
Justin Is teaching y'all some new food recipes, Something new for me. I never heard of cassava leaf 🌿 soup hopefully something I would like to try one day. Chef justin doing his thing.
That’s of the main soups in Liberia 🇱🇷. Cassava leaves is awesome. I didn’t know other African countries ate cassava leaves. I thought it was only Liberians and Sierra Leoneans.
we eat cassava leaves too in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
I was just begging my African friend to bring me some food. I have to start cooking dishes before I repatriate. Thank you for making this all possible. Hold Up why did he just look like he was going to faint when he tasted his own food and you look like you were about to lick that bowl. LUV the energy!
😂
Wow I’m cooking isombe right now in Oklahoma. I saw a notification I was like what I’m cooking the same thing 😀
Major soup for the Liberians as well! Cassava leaf with red oil. Yummy.
It was nice and funny to see Chef Justin's personality in the video. It is awesome how you all are experiencing the globe as a family, unapologetically.
Glad to see yall enjoyed Cassava leaves, my family is from Burundi but we cook it all the time here in the states. 👍🏽
@emmett n - which state are you in, and where do you buy the cassava leaves. I am in NYC.
I am from burundi too, bro. Back home, we eat cassava leaves soup with bugari or rice, including fish. Yuuuuumy!!
Loveandpeace im in Georgia and there’s some west African stores that sell them down here
It's so good!💯
✊🏾🇧🇮
Justin need to call his cooking show / restaurant -Transformation or Memories
Me and my wife cook isombe a lot, we get it from the Asian supermarket, it comes from the Philippines and it's amazing!
We eat cassava leaf with palme huile in Guinea. In Brazil, they don't eat the leaf.
We eat cassava leaves in Liberia!! Delicious 👍
I am from Liberia. According to our history, the Cassava leaf soup were first introduced by African Americans Returnees who return back to Africa in the early to mid 1800s after slavery were “abolished” To established a colony which is current day Liberia. In Liberia we refer to those African Americans as the “Congos people, “ to reference to the eastern/central African country (the democratic republic of the Congo) which was were they first settled before navigating to West Africa , Liberia. And as the story goes, they brought along with them the cassava leaf soup after Adopting it from Congo which is the Traditionally dish from that region. The cassava leaf soup has since then spared all across Western Africa as a popular dish for many Continental west Africans. It is eaten mainly in Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Ivory Cost, some parts of Ghana, Guinea Senegal, some parts of Nigeria, and etc. However, in most of those countries it is somewhat prepared differently.
Great lakes is the home of Cassava dishes. We have 4 to 6 ways of preparing it. The world has never seen. I just wish they can dedicate a video on different way of making Cassava dish in our region. From treats, Alcohol to preservative food that last long months and long to digest in times of war or long journey 😉
In Burundi our Rebels, survived on Cassava,hence the CNDD party(rulling party) has a Cassava leaf on their flag. Cassava kept them on ground where no food supplies.
@G. Beauty All Bantu tribes in Central to Eastern and Southern Africa but "Great lakes region" is head Quater.
Hi Marion, I am from Kongo tribe in the Republic of Congo and wanted to know whether the congo people in Liberia came from republic of Congo-DRC-Angola area(kongo kingdom)?
@@briceingod2592
The Congo people or as we refer to them as AmeriCo Liberians are a specific group of people that return back to Africa after slavery was abolished to create a country which is now the Liberia. In short, the Congo people are enslaved African people. We have 16 tribes and has been independent for over 175 years with 27th presidents all but 3 were Congos or AmeriCo Liberians. This is why Liberian culture is hugely influenced by African Americans culture and the mixture of indigenous African culture unlike what u would see in popular African culture all across the continent
I am loving this‼️ You guys keep doing what you doing💛
I love this!!! Healthy cooking.
I hope I finally make some money. I keep wishing to see an interactive broadband channel for the diaspora. In fact I keep suggesting to people they start one. If I can get any kind of money I will do so, and I hope once I buy the infrastructure you guys would syndicats content
This is what I call healthy entertainment. It’s the opposite of driving daisy. And more mindful then the junk on nowadays
Cassava🌿 is mostly eaten in central, eastern and western Africa it makes you healthy and strong and there's alot of different ways you can cook it very delicious.
and some countries in Southern Africa.
I think grounded, he meant "blended "cassava leaves .It is my favourite soup too , goes well with rice and sweet potatoes 😋😋😋😋 Justin is 🔥🔥 a whole package
Unapologetic nomads, next time, try cassava leaves soup and fishes with Bugari or Bulobe. And beans on the side. You will love it.
Back in Burundi, that was my favor dish.
For me, i love to eat cassava leaves with dry fish so tasting ❤ from Uganda
That's my favorite food 😋😻
😋
you guys are very descent. greetings from Uganda . eating like kings and Queens with classical music in background.
Great video guys! Justin, I love the way you describe food in metaphors. It definitely allows me to share in the experience. By the way, I love your daughter! She has the sweetest personality and I can see the best of you and your wife in her.
I use oxtail, celery, lots of onions and blend them, add habanero peppers, eggplants and salt then leave it in the slowcooker and forget about it, add oil the next day and let it cook for another 2 hours, it comes out so soft, so tasty and i have a large batch and can freeze some for later. Eat it with yuca, yuca fufu, even oatmeal fufu ( low glycemic if you're diabetic), rice, heck evene with quioa lol or my beloved kwanga lol.
😮😋
I loved your video! Everyone's reaction to the food was so funny. I love it! It must have been good since your daughter got a giant second scoop of it.
Wow this food looks delicious 😋

As Congolese this is the food I grew up with 😋

Cassava leaves soup is creamy because of the peanut. It's a popular dish in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
Cassava leaves soup with coconut oil is my favourite...

Cassava Leaf is the best soup on the planet!!!🍵💖💥

Before cooking there is another preparation, ask the person who knows. Many Rwandans are in Kenya. Contact them

Chef Justin's food looks sooooo good 👍
If you add coconut cream it becomes yummier
I bought that maggi seasoning. It's good....you have to pair it with the right foods though.....but really good
The best soup, delicious.

Maggi cubes are high in sodium, MSG, and hydrogenated fats. African people, let's find another alternative that supports our health. Love to you all. :)
We call it kpem in Cameroon
Hum yumi 😋 🤤
When is chef Justin gonna have his own cooking UA-cam channel ?
Casava leaves is a Africa food 🤤
Maggi cubes lol.
We call that pondu in my country
Yummy!
Yo chef Justin need to chill out with the Nigerian jollof thingy bruh 🤣🤣😂😂 LMAO. Ghana jollof all the way. You feel me? It's all love 🤩🖤. By the way it's Maggi Cube.
Lol
Lol
Why not invest in Justin, open up a restaurant, have Justin as Head Chief and hire other workers as needed until the business grows. Start small until business grows humungously!!! SUGGESTION!!!
You make me feel hungry 🤐
If I were you I would eat that French fries dish twice a week
Is there a vegan version? :-)
Lol u wat it with fries???
Are you sure ththose were cassava leaves🤔 They looked like sweet potato leaves(edible too)
Did I hear someone mention jollof rice
Justin don't be playing in kitchen.
There is nothing to compare the taste to in the americas.
💯
Maggi cube not chut😊.
Let's be real... Chef Justin burn himself tasting that cassava Leaf soup. He played it off real well though. I never had cassava leaf but palm oil has a certain smell and taste that grows on you.
😂😂That is what I was thinking. He ain't blow on it to cool it down or nothing. 😂😂😂
can he prepare for you RWANDA TEA and amashaza
We will ask him.🤔
@@Unmad fresh peas with green Banana its yummy.
Justin always putting his 🦶. In every dish he prepares. Right on that music gets 5 stars ✨
💯
LOVE YOU ALL CHANNEL :) BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. YOUR CHEF MAKES SOME AMAZING MEALS. THE THOUGHT OF EATING CASSAVA GIVES ME SUCH SCARE WITH ALL THE CYANIDE FOUND IN THE LEAVES AND ROOTS. MANY DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS HAVE TO COOK IT FOR MANY DAYS BEFORE CONSUMING IT, TRYING TO REMOVE AS MUCH CYANIDE OUT OF THE PLANT AS POSSIBLE. IT'S ALL TO SCARY FOR ME TO TRY CASSAVA HOWEVER, KNOWING HOW CYANIDE AFFECTS THE MENTAL..
No we do not cook it for many days.
@@africaine4889 WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU FROM? I'VE SEEN MANY THAT PREPARE IT FOR MANY DAYS.. YOUR OBVIOUSLY ONE THAT DOESN'T. NONETHELESS IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERSONAL PREFERENCE, EVERYONE EATS WHAT THEY LOVE :)
@@RESILIENT3 doesn't matter what ethnic group to remove the cyanide u just have to put it in water. When u see people cook it for days it is just because they want to fermented it. The cyanide goes by dipping in water.
@@africaine4889 I'VE NEVER HEARD OF CYANIDE BEING REMOVED IN JUST WATER, HOWEVER, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THEY'RE MANY SOURCES OF RETRIEVING INFORMATION..STILL LOVE THEIR FAMILY AND CHANNEL. AGAIN THEY HAVE AN AWESOME CHEF.
🤔didn't know this.
Enjoy your videos as always, But no offense your daughter doesn't seem to behave like my nieces and nephew her age. I think her starting school and meeting others her age would be great for her.
What you mean?
@@thebridge5483 Look at some of their other videos and you will understand. FYI She's 15th years old.
If I were you، ظش
