Bini Owo with Unripe Plantain
I think there's a secret in potash when combined with palm oil that makes any food cooked with it, turn out so deliciiiiiiiious. Think of Isi-ewu, Nkwobi, Abacha, containing potash are so much loved by people, hmmmmmmm.
I learnt this food from a bini male friend who is a Lecturer, he taught me how it's done.
The bini Owo from Edo state is very different from that of Delta State. While the deltans uses garri , special salt and special palm oil as stated in some recipes. The colour of the Delta Owo is yellowish usually eaten with Starch.
The bini's uses Potash and plain palm oil..
If not told the bini Owo can easily pass as stew because tomatoes is the main ingredient used with dry Catfish and other dry fish. But the difference from normal Stew, is in the taste. Oh so delicious and it's eaten with Yam and unripe plantain.

Before the tomatoes dries up water break and grind the potash if using unbroken one. Measure with 1tablespoon and add to the mixture. The colour of the Soup automatically darkens until palm oil is added.

Another method of adding the potash is by disolving the blended potash in warm little water as done with Isi ewu. Put the 2cookingspoon palm oil in another pot and turn the potash liquid inside. Stir it very well to become yellowish and add it to the tomatoes mix before placing it back on heat to warm up.
