Recipe #2

This is a picture of half of a yam that they use here. So in my recipe when it says a yam it is this huge tuber not some sweet potato.

Kwesi's Egg Stew

This is enough for 4 people

1 onion, chopped

2-3 tomatoes per person, chopped

1 1/2 - 2 eggs per person (I do about 5). Whip together in a small bowl.

1/2 yam, peel off outside and chop

4 oz. tomato paste (the littlest can)

1/2 - 1 tsp. crushed red peppper (you can use pepe peppers instead if you want. This amount of crushed pepper makes it very mild the way I like it. If you want more heat, add more pepper).

salt to taste

vegetable oil (enough to coat pan)

1. Saute onion for about 10-15 min. Add tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then add tomato paste. Let it thicken. Add salt and then taste to see if you need more.

2. Drop whipped eggs by the spoonful a little at a time. Don't stir, the eggs need to cook before you stir them in. Once eggs are cooked (about 10 minutes?) then stir it all together.

3. Boil yam in water like you would potatoes until soft.

Eat together. You can also eat the stew with rice or fried plantain.
