Yam porridge is a Nigerian yam dish cooked in a well-seasoned pepper mix until soft and fluffy with some yam chunks. It is very quick and easy to make. It makes a perfect dinner or lunch and it is also a party favourite.
Peel and cut the Yam into medium-sized chunks. Rinse a couple of times until the water is no longer cloudy. Set aside.
Blend the bell pepper, habanero, tomato, and half onion.
Put the yams inside a pot, and add the blended sauce, salt,terra coubes, and water. Cover and let it cook for 10 minutes on medium to high heat.
Stir in the palm oil, sliced onions, and crayfish, cover, and leave to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Mash the yams with a potato masher or a wooden spoon. I love to mash some yams and keep some chunks. It gives more texture!
Add the fish (You can use whatever addition you prefer, like smoked fish or crab meat).
Allow it to simmer for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the herbs like basil, or leafy greens like spinach, kale, or ugwu) and enjoy while still hot!
