My mother exposed to us to a lot of our traditional food. She always chose a recipes that were easiest for large number of people, we always had other people living with us. The recipe of choice for most vegetables and nuts is just boiling them. Of course how much water you use for each vegetable is different but anyone can do it. When we switch it up, it usually means peanut buter is added one way or another. As is with nhopi.
