ZOGALE RICE
Hello People!
My Name is Hapsy Ibrahim-Mahmud and I'll be showing you how to make
Zogale Rice.
Zogale AKA Moringa leaf or Moringa Oleifera is a Stable vegetable and supplement in most Northern homes. A lot of homes actually have this miracle tree growing at their back yard...at the end of the recipe i'll post the benefits of Moringa Oleifera.
For those of you that don't know how Zogale (Hausa for Moringa) looks like, check out the image below.


Zogale Rice
You will need;
·         About 3 cups of Zogale                    ( 6 handfuls)
·         1 chopped onions
·         2 cooking spoons of Soya oil
·         2 chopped hot peppers (Attarogo)
·         1 medium red pepper chopped (Tattasai)
·         2½ cups of Cooked rice
·         2 tsp of Oregano
·         Season cube of choice and a pinch of salt.
So the 1st thing you do is to cook the rice. This is a stir fry recipe so having the rice washed, cooked and drained before the actual meal is being prepare just saves time. Then wash the Zogale. The leaves are tiny, so while plucking them off, you might pull some steams. No problem, every part of the Zogale tree is edible. So pluck off, soak in salt water for about 2mins, give it rinse and pop in a sieve to drain.
Then into a large wide pan, add the oil, rice and salt. Stir fry on medium heat for 4-5mins .



Then add the onions, all the peppers and oregano, seasoning cube/powder and give it a good stir. If you don't want to use Oregano that's fine but i find the aroma works really well it Zogale.



Then add the Zogale . Stir and pop the lid on. Reduce the heat and leave to steam for about 10mins. It's quite a tough vegetable hence, steaming will soften it.
If you're going to make this recipe for a large number of people....just multiply the recipe and stir fry in batches.
After 10mins of steaming the Zogale Rice, open the lid, give it a quick stir and Walla!
Delicious wholesome and truly nourishing Zogale Rice!  Serve with  Miyan dagege (Stew) with Chicken, Beef or Fish.



Until next time folks, Enjoy!
