By Lola Obembe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up in Lagos, my extended family on my father\u2019s side used to gather at my grandparents’ house in Alaka Estate for prayers. My grandparents were elders in the Christ Apostolic Church and day break at their house was often heralded by the ringing of the prayer bell at which my siblings, cousins, uncles and aunts gathered in the den for an hour long session of vigorous head nodding and loud shouts of \u201cAmin!, l\u2019oruko Jesu!\u201d.<\/p>\n

After this daily Yoruba lesson we were rewarded, at least during the Easter, with a warm bowl of Frejon and grilled mackerel fish. To be honest, I thought Frejon was an Obembe Family secret, until Bola pointed out that it was pretty common. It\u2019s therefore a personal joy to have the opportunity to recreate this dish from my childhood \u2013 sans the fish, but you get the gist.<\/p>\n
