Yummy Yam Porridge - Creative Sunday

Cooking this particular batch, brought up feelings of nostalgia, it took me back to my childhood days when I would get back from an afternoon of playing with my friends downstairs. And I would step into my house only to get a whiff of divine Yam Porridge.

So for this edition of Creative Sunday I thought to share with us my Yam porridge recipe. This post will be direct and straight to the point so whip out your pen and paper, get ready to jot fings down!

Ingredients

• Yam… obviously 😅😅

• Palm Oil

• A sachet of tomato paste

• A bulb of Onion

• Dry fish

• Grinded Cameroon pepper

• Salt and seasoning

• Pumpkin leaves (any veggie of your choice)

Procedure

Prep Your Ingredients

Peel off the bark of your yam, wash and chop it into sizable bits, wash and dice the vegetables, wash and dice your onion, wash and debone your dry fish.

Get to Cooking

Boil your yam with water and half a table spoon of salt. After 15 to 20 minutes pierce a piece of yam with a fork, if it divides easily and breaks off, then you know it’s time to add your other ingredients.

Firstly, place your dry fish into the pot.

Then add like 4 table spoons of palm oil and allow to cook for 1 minute.

Sprinkle in your chopped onion and add your tomato paste, leave to simmer for 2 minutes.

Add your seasonings and salt to taste.

And finally, place in your chopped vegetable.

Then stir thoroughly and bring down the fire.

And just like that, your Yam Porridge is ready to be plated and ate.
