Jeez!
Am confused.
I thought ugu and pumpkin are the same thing!

LocalFARMERS:
Due to the high cost of fresh and processed Tomatoes, most Restaurant operators, Mama put owners and most households now device a cheaper means to make Stew. Since we can not do without eating Stew.

They now use dry Pumpkin with dry fresh Tomatoes. It is usually in 60:40 ratio. That is, 60% is dry Pumpkin while 40% is dry Tomatoes. The Pumpkin is to increase the quantity of the Stew, while it maintain the original Tomatoes flavour, aroma, taste and color.

Pumpkin is a highly nutritional food. It is used to prepare varieties of meals.

You make them as stew ?

LocalFARMERS:
Don't be confused. There are more than one types of Pumpkin. Which Ugwu Pumpkin is one of them.

Below is a picture of the kind of Pumpkin we refered to as Ugwu.

Not as Nigerian stew. But it’s a similar process of cooking both. Sautéing some onions, peppers, choice of meat and your puréed or cubed pumpkins.

It doesn’t taste like Nigerian stew to me but it’s delicious by itself in its own class.

I don’t really think it’s weird but I get that if someone isn’t used to eating it, might find it difficult to adjust or use it to replace stew.

I personally won’t use it to replace stew. I might try this his method just to see if it’s similar to stew for the sake of experiment

CUCUMBER PREPARED STEW is also a cheaper alternative.

Add Onions, Tin Tomatoes to Your Cucumber and blend and then fry to make stew.

Few years ago i was in the bus and people were complaining and lamenting about cost of food. A man made i statement i would never forget.

He said of the bag of rice becomes 150k tomorrow. Nigerians would still buy it and do nothing about it. Few years down the line food prices are now over 150% costlier than what it used to be instead of holding the govt responsible and staging protests, we have numerous videos of alternate stew making style circulating all around

Soon we would devise means to cook stew with mangoes and oranges. We are truly a conquered people and our politicians are the luckiest on earth. We just rant on SM, look for alternatives and move on

Only igbos are fighting for the betterment of everybody but hatred won't allow other tribes join hands. They prefer to suffer and die than to agree with the igbos.

descarado:
Cucumber stew
Maybe, red Cucumber.
But how can one use Cucumber to make stew.
Eeeew.
They should use watermelon too

Angelfrost:
Leave Nigerians... Hypocrisy will finish them.

Apc abused Jonathan for poor performance that wasn't up to a quarter of this o, and Nigerians joined them in the abuse of the President till the man got tired and left the office for them.

Now, the same Nigerians are shifting blames to everything and everyone but those they elected.

I just dey observe them... Let's see how far they can adjust to sufferings.

cococandy:
