Vegetables stew/ Efo riro

Efo riro recipe

Let me tell you a quick story before I share the recipe. Mum and I had gone out to get a few things we needed for the house, but as usual, we ended up buying more things like vegetables and fishes. We then we had to buy smoked fish and pepper to cook it.

As we were driving to the house I told my mum I would love to cook the vegetables which she agreed, so the next morning I gathered my ingredients

Ingredients

• Pepper
• Vegetables
• fish( smoked fish and crayfish)
• cowhide(ponmo) and locust beans ( iru)
• magii and salt

   • The inside of the ponmo may have to be scrubbed because of the dirt so I employ my iron sponge for this.
   • Rinse the ponmo very well
6. Blend your pepper( tomatoes can be added but the peppery effect Which I like may not be felt so I don’t use any but you can)
7. Rinse your locust beans
