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.

CUCUMBER PREPARED STEW is also a cheaper alternative.

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

You make them as stew ?
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 grin

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.
Correction. It is Ugu not Ugwu, Ugwu means mountain in Igbo.

Use instead green vegetables and ugu leaves for your stew. Or you can use cat fish pepersoup,while making the soup tick. It is a blast with rice or yam.

Banga soup is equally a cheaper alternative.



This one you posted up here is not readily available in the market

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.

It's unfair to say only igbos. We have people from all tribes doing same.

Only unreasonable people would prefer tribal bigotry than fight for a better life

Anyways they are learning now, hopefully.

You know, in all these,beetroot is still the best combo and alternative.
Just that we don't grow beetroot.
All commercial tomato puree is mixed with beetroot. That's what gives that popping dark red wine colour. And beetroot quantity is usually more.

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.

Apc then entered street. Everything was protest and the president listened sef

Today everybody is either blind or deaf. Tribal bigotry everywhere. Even people that said A during Jonathan's time are saying Z now.

If you talk you automatically become Obidient and you are told to go back to anambra. Apc folks go use ethnic nonsense to try and silence u

Omoooooooooo this thing is sad o

Rather than working around it, why not plant tomatoes? People should look to solve problem. If Tomatoes are expensive, go and plant!
