Garden Egg Sauce is delicious and locally made with palm oil, which gives it a unique flavour. It can also be prepared with vegetable oil but I do not recommend that.

The palm oil adds colour to the garden egg sauce. This means that when you fry with vegetable oil, it does not look as appetizing.

Unlike ofada stew, vegetable stew and sauce, garden egg sauce and egg stew is perfect for boiled white puna yam, boiled plantains and boiled potatoes.

Ingredients for Garden Egg Sauce
• 8 big garden eggs
• 1 cup palm oil
• 1 bulb onion
• Habanero pepper (as desired)
• Salt to taste
• 1 small ogiri, okpehe (iru)
• 2 small smoked mackerels
• 1 seasoning cube

Directions
• Rinse the garden eggs very well and remove the stalk. Cut the garden eggs into small pieces then blend, grind or pound them into a smooth paste and keep aside.

• Rinse and slice the onion into small pieces. Pound the pepper and okpehe in a mortar till smooth. Shred the smoked fish into small pieces and set aside.

• Pour the garden egg puree into a clean pot and cook till all or almost all the water dries up. Set it aside.

• Pour the palm oil into a clean dry pot and heat it up. Do not bleach it, you only need to heat till a piece of onion sizzles when added to the hot oil.

• When the oil is hot enough, add the onions and fry for about 2 minutes. Add the garden egg puree and stir fry for a bit.

• Cover the pot and cook-fry for some time and stir again till the small amount of water in the garden eggs puree dries up. the palm oil will also be separated from the puree.

• Add the okpehe, habanero pepper blend and salt to your taste then add the smoked fish, stir, cover and leave to simmer and it's done!

• Use the Garden Egg Sauce to eat Boiled White Puna Yam (best combo), Boiled Plantains and Agidi/Eko. If you fried the sauce with vegetable oil, use for Boiled White Rice and Boiled Potatoes.
