My favourite kind of stew anytime of the day. The aroma of this stew when you go to restaurants especially the Yoruba restaurants is amazing and because I like the stew so much I decided to learn how to make it from them and made mine at home. It can be enjoyed with rice,beans or paired with ewedu for amala. The stew is simply phenomenal please you can adjust the pepper to suit your taste buds me prefer it spicy. Let's cook
