Welcome to my blog 🤗
Ayamase stew is that one stew that have so many names and sometimes there are misconceptions about it. Ayamase stew is called ofada sauce by some people and it is widely known as designer stew by many. The most common accompaniment with ayamase stew is rice and others include beans, yam, potatoes etc. This stew, when well prepared can make head turn. However, it takes quite a lot of patience to prepare the stew if you want to get the best result.
Designer stew may have different variations when you are opportune to taste from different recipes and this is simply because of the quantity of ingredients that are used such as the palm oil, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onions and so on. Note that this recipe requires you to bleach your palm oil, that is, changing the color to a light color by putting the red palm oil in a pot and covering it for about 5 minutes on medium heat and allowing it to cool. This procedure can also have an impact on the taste of your ayamase stew.
Ingredients Needed
½ kg beef
3 meduim sized ponmo
1 large sized onions
½ cup palm oil
3 scotch bonnet
6 small sized tomatoes
2 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 tsp curry
12 tatashe
2 tablespoon iru
Seasoning cubes
Salt to taste
Step by Step
Start by washing your meat and ponmo. Cut them into desired sizes. Next, add them to a pot, add some sliced onions, curry, seasoning cubes and salt. Steam the meat till it is cooked
Next, wash your scotch bonnet, tomatoes, onions, green and yellow bell pepper and use your blender or mortar to grind it into a rough form. Set aside.
Now, let's bleach the oil that we will be using. Place the palm oil on medium heat for about 5 minutes with the pot tightly covered. Then turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool down while the pot is still covered.
Next, when the oil has cooled down, turn on the heat and add some sliced onions. Then add the mix that you pounded earlier to the pot. Add the iru and give it a good stir.
Next add some meat stocks into the pot. Taste it if you need extra seasoning. If yes, add the required amount of seasoning to the pot.
Next add the meat that you have cooked earlier. Continue stiring the pot until you are sure that is done.
You can off the heat and allow the stew to rest a bit before you serve
Serve it with some rice and enjoy.
