Hello @bigram. I hope your wife is better now. 😊

I'm a student from Nigeria. Basically let me start by saying we have lots of food in Nigeria. But most times, it seems like we have only about 3 or 4 and they can be so monotonous. 😒

Last weekend though, I was at my house and we had boiled yam and boiled ripe plantain for dinner with vegetable sauce. When we all had our fill, it was remaining quite a lot. (there are 8adults and 2 growing children in my house so we tend to underestimate the amount of food we can finish some times)

Anyway back to the description, the next morning, we warmed up all the the yam and plantain to make this dish called onunu (local to the Rivers people) which is eaten with beef pepper stew.

After heating the yam and plantain, we pounded them together using a mortar and pestle till it had a soft consistency. We added Palm oil and a little salt and spices to create the delicious taste and to give it a reddish colour. Then we pounded some more. After the pounding was done, we made the beef pepper stew. Guess what happened next😁😁😁

All I can say is that by the time we were done devouring the food, everyone was clamouring for a second helping. But really, how possible is it to get a second helping out of leftovers?? 😏😏😏

Alas I couldn't take any pictures because I was too busy consuming it with my fingers. 🙈🙈🙈

Thanks for reading. Hope you like it. 😊
