Plantain cubes using the Kenwood Dicing Attachment

For the days you need to dice a large quantity of food ingredients for dishes like fried rice or giz dodo. The Kenwood dicing kit, which is an attachment of the Kenwood Stand mixer is your best friend in the kitchen. It dices in seconds.

Watch the videos below

I have been itching for a Giz Dodo order ever since I bought this attachment, and I didn't have to wait too long. The thing about fatigue is, it is when you are almost done that it hits you the hardest. I don't have it in me to dice even one plantain, not to talk of plenty for a large foil tray. This dicing kit, did the work for me in less than a minute ??????. The engineers at #Kenwood, we are going to meet very soon by His Grace ??, and they will all be getting big fat kisses on their cheeks.

For some reason, the last video didn't upload. Well here it is again. It also dices fruit, meat and hard cheeses, and tomatoes (salad tomatoes or the juice will drop out first). This thing is so fast, it is like magic. Kenwood Dicing attachment. You would need to have a Kenwood Chef mixer to use this attachment, or buy a Kitchen Aid artisan food processor, which comes with this dicing kit. @kenwoodoficial @kitchenaidusa. Tag your friends and family. We have been saved from the drudgery of chopping. Fried rice, salad, giz dodo, you name it. Your next best kitchen angel is here.

Every female member of my family who ever had the misfortune of frying diced plantain for my brother, would have given their right arm for this device. It dices Plantain in seconds, and I mean seconds. From plantains, to cucumbers, to tomatoes, onions, peppers, hard veggies like yam, this nifty little thing is the next best thing to a food processor if you have kids or adults with "special requests". Watch the video. I am bringing some more, because I am maxing a Nigerian-Mexican Salsa with Rice cakes. Stay tuned. It is called a Kenwood Dicing Attachment. You have to have a Kenwood Chef Mixer for it to work. Let me be a traitor, if you have or can buy a Kitchen Aid Artisan food Processor, it also comes with this dicing kit. @feyiolu take note ?? @kenwoodoficial @kitchenaidusa. Tag your friends and family. We have been saved from the drudgery of chopping. Fried rice, salad, giz dodo, you name it. Your next best kitchen angel is here.

I have a love-hate relationship with diced plantains because of my baby brother. I call him baby, because I was 10 when he was born. I already had a sister, so I was excited to have a brother. They don't tell you how annoying baby brothers can be. This one milked his last born status so well, he wrote the book. I swear, he changed my parents, especially my Mum. Our little "prince", liked his plantain cut a certain way. I swear. It was circles or nothing. Wait for it, even the thickness of the circle was specified. Not too thin or too fat, or he won't eat it. It drove me up the wall, because many times I would forget and cut the plantain the traditional way, or forget the thickness "His Highness" liked and he will complain like you are trying to poison him. No child had dared that before. When he starts to wail, my mother would say, "Ola, you just like looking for trouble. You already know how he likes his plantain, stop stressing me. Please make a fresh batch". I would stand there with my mouth open, looking at this woman, wondering who she was and what she has done with my mother, whose mantra has always been "you eat what you are given, no questions asked". Of course I would go make a fresh batch, or else she will make the situation all about you being defiant and not about him making unreasonable demands. Choi, it used to PAIN ME ehn. Haaaa, I would be boiling with anger. Imagine a 17yr old already in Unilag, cooking for a 7yr old who would be smirking at you, with his back turned to Mummy of course. Then he got bored with circle dodo and asked for it to be diced. The Lord just has to forgive me for so many murderous thoughts that I had those times. What of frying, it must be almost burnt. I don't know how a child can like burnt plantain. If you gave him yellow dodo, trouble. So it continued for a long time, until one day, only him and mummy were home and he tried that nonsense with her. Let's just say that was the day he learnt how to cut dodo and fry himself under supervision. He was 10, I think. I laughed ehn, when I got home and saw him almost in tears eating his dodo. He never made such requests again ?. Why the story? #Kenwood has the solution ???

IF you would rather not purchase a stand mixer, just so you can buy the dicing kit, here’s a nifty little gadget that is equally great, but manual

About Dooney

Dooney is the blogger, recipe developer and photographer for Dooney's Kitchen. I spend my days trying to figure out creative ways to redefine Nigerian food, either by creating a new dish itself using ingredients in ways that have never been used before, or changing the approach to Nigerian cooking using kitchen gadgets.

Nigerian food, is bold, multi faceted, rich, colourful, spicy and with varied nuances, as you move from tribe to tribe. To describe Nigerian cooking, one would say it is fiercely traditional and somewhat dogmatic, but Dooney’s Kitchen proposes to simplify methods and steps that have been passed from generation to generation whilst also challenging some of these methods using Technology. The New Nigerian Cookery isn’t just about creating a New Nigerian Kitchen, or should we say a more technology aware Nigerian cooking experience, but it encompasses redefining recipes too. Come along on the journey, and welcome to one of the best online resources for Nigerian food.
