This is a native dish in Igbo land. So delicious and so simple and so healthy for you. One of the ingredients in this sauce is called ugba ( also called ukpaka) these are formented African oil beans. They are used in a variety of Igbo foods and can be eaten on their own… which we do quite often….

Steps

1 1/2 hour roasting

1

Cut the ends off the Ji. Cut in half in the middle and set aside one half for later. Down the length of the other half cut into 4 pieces. Put them in the oven with the broil flame on top and roast for about one hour depending on your oven.
2

It’s roasted enough when it’s tender inside when a fork is inserted. Let cool then cut off the skin on the back side. Set aside. Sauce - Pour in a pot the oil (if you don’t have palm use any oil and then an extra tomato) add the onions and cook on medium to high heat until onions are soft.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off heat and serve to the ones you love 😉 Make a great meal together ❤️
