my dear I think I did better than before. Three people ate it, only one person purged. (there isnt conclusive proof that my stew is responsible). Anyway didn't taste so raw tomatoey as before, but the thing burnt small and didn't have the Yoruba peppery delicious stew taste I have come to admire. Heard I need to cook with palm oil to achieve that.... Palm oil kwa..... How will it taste.... Anyway sha, I learnt small even though not perfect...... Thanks dearie

Ohh that taste? Yes you need palm oil for that. I guess you mean buka stew. Light, spicy and tasty. When I cook it, I’ll tag you.

I guess you were chatting with woman while the pot was on fire. Just get a nonstick pot, Eddy. Glad you made progress...

The sight alone, you’ll know it is sweet. Now I see why Eddy said he wants to learn how to make stew that is sweet on sight. Hahahaha!

Eddygourdo:
thanks for the mention dear. Merry Christmas. Now you have solved a conundrum I have however you still created small confusion. You said you didn't intend the tomatoes to dry that way, isnt that the best way it should dry? In order not to have an unfried taste? Anyway should it be dry like that as shown in the pic or not. Kindly clarify. Your stew looks yummm. Thanks for the thread
I was supposed to cook buka stew today, but the person I sent to the market messed up the ratios. That’s why I love doing my shopping myself. Anyway, I reverted to normal stew.

This is how I love it to be. cheesy

Hahahaha. There was goat meat in the stew. It is either goat meat or turkey for me. I am not a chicken person, though I threw in a few.

Pic 1: Bleached oil. You can see my stock behind. Pretty rich. wink
Pic 2: Tomato paste at initial stage
Pic 3: I wasn’t exaggerating when I said LOW HEAT.
Pic 4: At this point you might think you are there, but don’t stop. If you stir it, you will see it is still like a paste.
What make is that pot used in bleaching the oil and cooking this stew, it seems it is non sticky?

After bleaching the oil and adding the blended tomatoes and others and have started frying, do you need to stir at intervals or just leave it to fry

What name is the non sticky pot is called in the market?

It is called NONSTICK POT. cheesy

Those fancy colourful pots you see around. The inside is usually black. Those are the commonest variants. Many in the Nigerian market are nothing special, they peel off with time and poor maintenance. So, don’t allow them rip you off.

I tried this recipe exactly as it was written.
I almost added onga at the last minute because I believed it was what made my stew sweet. And also because I doubted I would like it. Before onga, my stews used to be apology.
But since I wanted to follow this recipe to the letter, I omitted it as directed.

The result?

I cannot stop eating my stew. Something that I made to last me for one month is almost finishing in two weeks!
I am even planning on getting the nonstick pots so I can properly fry the stew for long, as directed. Couldn't do so with the regular pot because the stew was burning.

I am also considering trying some of the other recipes posted by the op. And this is coming from a slay queen that does not like cooking grin

Thank you Pocohantas. I am no longer born throway, you have helped me increase my bride price grin

Now that the bride price has increased, we move!
Cheers to the sisterhood! grin grin
