This is an african delicious meal precisely from the ijebu part of nigeria.
After a taste, you sure will always want more!
INGREDIENTS
Salt
Knorr Cube
Water Yam
Ground Crayfish
Chopped Fresh Pepper
Pieces of Beef
Pieces of Chicken
Dried Fish ( Preferably "Sawa") Smoked
Catfish
RECIPE
Cut Water yam in chunks, this makes it
easier for you to grate
Peel water yam, rinse and grate into a
bowl. This is the hard part and I don't like
grating wateryam because it is slimy.
You have to be careful not to cut
yourself.
In a pot, boil water and add palm oil, add
your pieces of meat and fishes and all
the obstacles you like, add crayfish too
and blended pepper add salt and
bouillon cube and salt, just a bit. If you
have stock, then you may not need to
add salt and bouillon. Allow to boil
When it is boiling, take out the pieces of
fish/meat etc as many as you can, if you
don't do this, when the Ikokore is done
cooking the pieces of fish/beef will be
stuck at the bottom of the pot. I added
smoked catfish, gizzard, beef, sawa fish.
After taking our the fishes and beef, add
a bit of bouillon cube and some salt to
the grated wateryam and mix it,
because it is going to be in lumps you
want it to have some taste.
Start adding lumps of wateryam to the
boiling pot (if the water is hot enough
the balls of wateryam should float)
Cover and allow to cook for about 10
minutes,
Now add the pieces of fish/beef you took
out earlier and sprinkle on some ground
crayfish and chopped fresh peppers (ata
rodo). This gives it a lot of flavour.
Ps. you don't need to mix the ikokore
when cooking at all. Just let it cook.
Nice
