YAM AND VEGETABLE POTTAGE...

I can eat yam any day of the week/time of the day. Boiled, fried, roasted, whichever way...

This recipe is a quick, no fuss simple yam pottage.

Yam

Crayfish

Dried fish

Fresh Shrimps

Palm oil

2 Knorr cubes

Palm oil

1 Medium Sized Chopped Onion

Washed & Cut Ugu leaves/Chopped Spinach

Salt and pepper

Peel, wash yam and cut into little cubes. Pour water over the yam to nearly cover it and set on high heat to cook.

In no particular order throw in your dried fish, crayfish, chopped onions, salt, pepper and knorr cubes and allow to cook for about 15 - 20 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces of yam. At this time your yam should be 80% cooked, add your shrimps.

Stir, breaking up some of the pieces as you do so and allow to cook for another 2 - 3 minutes. The pieces of yam that you broke off will act to begin to thicken it into a pottage.

Add palm oil as needed, stir and taste for seasoning (at this point i like to add some more chopped onions). The palm oil will need about 5 minutes to cook the add your chopped ugu/spinach.

Mix properly and take it off the heat and serve.

This is one of my rainy day comfort foods... Well, if i'm being totally honest i could eat it on any day in just about any weather.

Snuggle up and enjoy!
