Our Super Tambari Chef this week is Aisha Shuiabu Alhassan, she wrote in from Lagos state. Congratulations! My favourite is in season, Yam! Yes yam is in season and there is no better way to enjoy them than to include them in your perfect English breakfast. Yummy!

I will recommend this dish to anyone who wishes to take a break from the standard breakfast as we know it, tea & bread or pap and bean cake and sometimes even indomie noodles. And interestingly, it is easy to make, it takes nothing more than 30minutes.

Its ingredients include, 4 slices of yam, 3 eggs, 2 ripe tomatoes, 2 sausages, olive oil, 4 spoons of baked beans, onions, pepper and salt to taste.

Brush the sausages sparingly with olive oil and salt and place in the oven to cook slowly for about 10mins (turning occasionally). Boil the slices of yams and set aside when cooked. whatever I am eating my carbohydrate with. I will be giving recipe for dried fish stew, fresh okro with dadawa and semovita. Fresh okro, fresh dadawa, 3 pieces of dried fish, onions, pepper, tatashe, tomaotoes, garlic, salt, curry, seasoning, palm oil and a 2 cups of semovita.

Blend tomatoes, pepper, tatashe, garlic and onions to a paste. Soak dried fish in hot water and wash with salt to remove sand and dirt. Heat palm oil in a pot, add onions and allow to fry for a minute or two, pour the blended tomatoes and pepper paste, and allow to fry. After about ten minutes add a cup of water, add the washed dried fish, salt, curry and seasoning, cover and allow to cook. For the okro, heat a cup of water and allow to boil, pour grated okro into the boiling water, add fresh dadawa, little salt and fresh shrimps (In today’s menu, I ran out of shrimps but I always use it in my okro). Allow to cook and place aside. Now make your semovita, by then your stew will be ready. Serve and enjoy your balanced carbohydrate meal with proteins and vegetables. This meal is sure to have you licking your fingers.
