How to cook yam porridge (Asaro recipe) with vegetable

Yam porridge or yam pottage is a staple dish in many homes in Nigeria. It is highly nutritious, easy to prepare, and quite affordable. The key ingredients in this Nigerian staple are yams, palm oil, and a little seasoning and spices. Although, many homes and chefs in Nigeria have changed and added other ingredients for extra nutrients and improved taste.

Enjoying Ofada rice with palm oil

Ofada rice refers to locally made rice. Before the Buhari-led administration banned rice importation, most Nigerians preferred to enjoy imported rice or, in typical Nigerian words, "foreign rice." Nigerian-made rice earned the bad market, if I have to be honest. The finished product was not well presented; I'm talking about chaff, stones and bad grains. Nigerian jollof rice with goat meat served on a white plate with cutleries. With more than a few rice mills scattered around Nigeria and the fierce competition among rice producers, ofada rice has become a household staple.We are sharing an authentic way of enjoying our Nigerian rice. Do more than Nigerian fried rice and Nigerian Jollof; enjoy ofada rice in the most Nigerian way. Read On: All You Need to Know About Duke Dennis T...
