Nigerian Yam Pottage
INGREDIENTS
4 “white” potatoes•
1/2 a fresh tomato
1 small red bell pepper
1/4 cup of grounded crayfish
5 large fresh prawns
Bouillon (maggi) cubes
Onions
Beef
Spinach
Vegetable/Canola/Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
METHOD
1. Cut beef and prawns into little cubes and boil with seasonings of your choice.
2. Wash and blend fresh tomato, red bell pepper and onions.
3. Set pot on medium heat, add canola oil to the pot and let it heat up.
4. Add a pinch of salt to the hot oil and add cut onions.
5. Add your blended tomato paste to the hot oil.
6. Add salt, pepper, bouillon cubes, a little water and crayfish to the tomato paste and allow to cook.
7. Peel potatoes and cut into bite size cubes.
8. Let the tomato paste cook for close to 15mins. Add more water if needed. We don’t want the paste “slappy”
9. Add your boiled meat to the stew.
10. Add your cut up potatoes.
11. Allow potatoes to completely cook then add your spinach, stir and turn off heat.
12. Serve. The future for the bodybuilding community has never looked brighter or more promising and it continues to rake in further pools of interest and investment around the globe. Heading forward into the future and beyond, the only certainty when it comes to the body building landscape is that this is not the end. In fact, many would argue that this is likely, if not certainly, just the beginning for the bodybuilding era.
I particularly cook just white potato because I find the other types of potato too mushy
Tried this today, everyone enjoyed it. Thank you
all your recipes are good, but will it help weight loss with all this palm oil?
Please what is a prawn and bouillon?
Prawn – ede (shrimp). bouillon is maggi or knorr cube.
Great recipe…just tried it..???
yeii!! thanks for the feedback
What does the half/tomato mean and can post the ingredwncr to me in UK, could estimate the post time for the ingredients
It means 1/2 of one fresh tomato.
Won’t that be small
Explain 1/2 tomato, do you mean can tomato or a tomato
Thanks for your swift response and all your recipes. I stay in Namibia precisely and they seem not to have plenty of fresh local foods. It’s a mixed raced country with western influence on their food. Majority of thier foods ‘re canned with very tender chicken. This made me miss home food alot. They don’t ‘ve plantain, yam etc. They have maize but no grinder to make pap(Ogi). No Palm Oil here.
I need substitutes for pap, and other vegetables. Wouldn’t mind any other substitute since you ‘ve once been abroad too.
So sorry for my long epistles.

Looking at the recipe,the white potatoes here us,gets mushy if peeled and boiled is there anything I can do to avoid this?
Sorry for the late reply. The white russet potatoes doesn’t get mushy easily but you have to watch closely and make sure you turn off the heat as soon as it cooks or it will get mushy.
It looks great n cool. Will definitely try dat one day 4sure bcos I lyk stuffs lyk dt.
