Steps

45 minutes

1

Peel, wash and dice cocoa yam into small pieces. Set aside
2

In a pot, add palm oil and your blended/grated onions, pepper and chili and fry for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of water (more or less depending on the consistency you prefer), add your seasoning and bring to a boil.
3

Wash the dried fish with hot water and salt and add to the pot.
4

Add the cocoa yam to the boiling water and stir. Let cook stirring occasionally. Add spinach and stir well
5

If the cocoa yam is soft but it’s still watery, you can use masher and gently mash it to make the porridge thick. Stir well

When it reaches the consistency you like (some prefer it thicker while others don’t) turn off heat. Serve with plantain or enjoy it like that
