  • Yam pottage or yam porridge (Asaro) is a delicious one pot dish that is popular in Nigeria. Yam pottage is very easy to make and of course Yam is the main ingredient in the dish. In this video, I will be sharing secrets and tips on how you can make your Yam pottage/ yam porridge absolutely tasty. Also referred to as Yam porridge, Yam pottage can made be with pretty much any protein, meat, fish, kpomo, prawns, crabs, smoked fish etc. Asaro (as the Yorubas call yam pottage) can also be served with a fried pepper sauce known as ata dindin, In fact Asaro and Ata dindin is a delicacy served at Nigerian parties. Don’t be surprised when you see some yam porridge made with vegetables and others are left plain. I also enjoy eating Yam porridge with some yummy Efo riro or sautéed vegetables on the side. To ensure varieties to your Yam pottage or yam porridge, switch it up sometimes with plantains, sweet potatoes, beans or even pasta.
    Ingredients to make Yam pottage with Vegetables /Yam Porridge (Asaro)
    5 slices yam (cut into cubes)
    2 tablespoons ground crayfish
    Seasoning powder to taste
    Salt to taste
    2 handful shredded ugu leaves

    ½ cup palm oil
    2 tomatoes
