OBE ATA (Yoruba stew): Easy Step by step guide for beginners (Detailed,2019)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2019
- Obe ata is a stew delicacy eaten most commonly prepared and eaten by the western tribe of Nigeria.
I remember growing up the tag used to describe Yoruba soups by my father (amongst other easterners) was "YORUBA NDI OFE MIRIMIRI" meaning Yoruba soups are too watery. Obe Ata is one of the culprit that gave then this title.
Though there are few soups from the Yoruba tribe my father will eat or even still is prepared by my mother. Obe ata is the only yoruba soup that I know my father enjoys so much and so do we in my household especially during the lenten season.
This Yoruba soup/stew is easy to make and straightforward. All you need to do is know the very few simple DON'TS of it. Watch on to catch this few simple tricks.
Full list of ingredient As a Guide
4 red bell pepper
2 habanero pepper
8-10 plum tomatoes
1/2 medium size red onion
2 cooking spoon palmoil~1/4-1/2 cup palmoil
Meat stock (if using)
seasoning cube to taste
Fish(or Meat of choice)
Water.

Thank you for your videos. I am an America and the man I am marrying is coming from Ilorun (sp.) Nigeria. He is Yoruba and I want to make him feel welcome here by studying and cooking the food he is used to. I will have time to practice so that he will not run 🏃🏿 back to Nigeria! Thank you!
I am glad you found the videos helpful! Yes o practice well so my Nigerian brother will not run back to Naija hahaha

Kaye Da Silva ywc. 😀
Thank you sis for doing a great job on this. I kept smiling watching this. You are good.
Awww.... I am glad I made you smile
Thanks a lot. I have been looking for this recipe for Okro but haven’t found one yet on UA-cam. I’m a Ghanaian but I eat Nigerian food. I ate some of this stew with okro and pounded yam like how the Yoruba people do it. I’m glad I know the difference now. I was confusing it with ofada or buka stew. Thanks again.
Am gonna try diz
Ohhh thank youuu soo much.. I want to try and make this.. I’ve never had it before.
Ywc Noble. You will love it! Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any more questions.
This obe ata is in another level. Grest job.
Nk my sis thanks!
Love! Thank you🫶🏾 making this for my dads birthday. He has been longing for this.
Happy birthday!!
Yipeee! She is finally back ..... dancing 💃 yummy yummy 😋
Mrs wantintin herself. I c you wella. Oya now quickly tell me if I made the yoruba people proud. Also any pointer on how differently uou guys make yours. You know this is a borrowed course hahahaha
Veeluvstocook_ chai ! You pass well well and the stew came out perfectly as we use to cook it . In short you got every step right.
@@funloves2sing see as I am blushing here hahaha. Thanks dear.
This recipe was helpful. Thank you
I am glad it was
Am gonna try this , you made it so simple .thanks for sharing
Ywc. Let me know how you like it..
lovely and well explained... thanks
Ywc
Thanks for sharing will be trying this today😊
Ywc
This is beautiful 🤩
Glad you like it Anthonia.
I really enjoyed watching you make this stew. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. This can be eaten with plain okra soup or rice right? Was that tatashe you used? I don’t seem to find that in here only bell peppers and it sweetens the stew which I don’t really enjoy. Do you have a trick in finding tatashe? Lol (I feel as tho its a dumb question)
Just found your channel and I’m going to support you; hope we become friends😍😍
Awww... I am so glad you found my channel and this was what you have been looking for. Thanks for the support.
Sure, we have become friends🤗🤗.
Yes you can have it with swallow by pairing it with the plain okro. That is actually what I do...
As for finding tatashe my sister, the struggle is real. I dont think I have ever seen her. Sometimes I just imagine that the Italian long pepper is tatashe but surely it is not.
Have you see. My :fry your best stew yet video on my channel. The trick I like to use especially if the sweetness of red bell pepper is too much for you is to strike a balance by adding few green bell pepper and /or tomatoes to the stew.
I hope I answered your question. Let me know if you have any other question
Veeluvstocook_ thanks 🙏 would check out that video and others on your channel 😂 have a great week ahead...
@@UzzielleTV ywc. same to you.
This soup looks delicious. I will try it with meat
Very informative. Thanks for posting and giving detailed explanations. I would have simply assumed it was just like any other tomato stew but for sure it is soup.
We learn everyday!

I’m off to the kitchen to make the umpteenth pot of Omi Obe Ata!! ‘Veeluvstocook’ version!! You not only ‘luvtocook’, you’re a great teacher!

Hey Ms. Vee!!!!!!! I missed you so very much my beautiful Sis!!!!💗😍💗
JoJo of life. Oh how I have missed you too my pretty sis....hugs and kisses
Hello Mrs v, so good to see you , you went M.I.A and took a lot of P.C students with you.😀😀😀
My dearie. Covering my eyes here as I type.. I have a lot of catching up to do with my PC class.... life happens my dear. But it feels good to be back on here. say me hello to any of the PC student you come across *wink wink*.
Lovely recipe. Can amala and ewedu be eaten with this stew?
Sure sure sureeeeee
Can I use kings oil or any other oil apart from using palm oil
You can BUT then it will not have same flavor because the palm oil adds a distinct flavor to it.
Nice one. Pls can I get the full list of the ingredients pls?
It should be in the description section below the video.
My Auntie Vee!!! I have missed you oh so much 🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚🤗😚.
My Ray Ray of sunshine. You know what the deal is. I miss you too beyond words. Love you
@@Veeluvstocook I do and I pray all is going well. Love you too 🤗😚❤. How are things going?
@@anointedstilettos thanks love. I know I have great support system in you guys. So far so good give God the glory.. *hushhhh😉😉😉
@@Veeluvstocook 🤐🤐🤐😚😚
Hello.Lovely video am hoping 2 try out.Pls what fish did u use? Also u said u brimmed d fish in salt water.Pls explain how that is done?? Thanks in advance
Hello Aunty.Really wanted 2 recreate d video but pls answer d 2 questions it would help me a great deal..🙏🙏😊
I used croaker fish but you can use the fish you love. As per salt water brimming, just add dissolve some salt in room temperature water to taste and then add in the fish. This will season the fish before you even put it in the stew.
I hope this helps
@@Veeluvstocook Thank u so so much 4 replying a detailed message.It will really help me bcos am not good at cooking fish in stew...🙏😊😊😂
@@mummysho894 ywc. I wish you goodluck and please dont forget to leave me a feedback and let me know if you need more help
Who oil did You use? Will you share all the seasonings you used ?
I used palm oil. The list of ingredient is in my description section on ALL MY videos
Missed your beautiful face. Keep the recipes coming
missed you too gurlll.....
Please can I use any kind of oil? There is no palm oil here in Serbia, thanks.
The authentic taste for this particular stew is from the palm oil. You can use any other oil you want ( preferably flavorless oil e.g canola oil) however, it will not be this same taste as with palm oil and it will just be a regular stew. I have a video on that too on my channel. You can check it out if you want to.
Just found your channel, you are sooooo cute omg🎉🥰🥰💕💕
Thank you so much!!
where i can i get that type of cover please?
I got mine From regular store it I called splatter shield
Wow! Can i bleach my palm oil first?🙏
Yes. You can
Hello there, I would love to ask the type of fish you used. Please share. Thanks.
I used Croaker fish but I want to believe any fish of your choice will come out nice too
@@Veeluvstocook thanks love ❤️
Can I substitute the red oil with vegetable oil?
Yeh!!! But it will have different taste
Does it have to be palm oil? Can we use vegetable oil? Thanks
You can use vegetable oil but for the auntheric taste and flavor of one ata palm oil is the way to go.
Is this stew soup used for Ewedu?
Yup
What sort of fish is this? Tilapia? Looks good, thank you for the informative vid!
It is croakers
@@Veeluvstocook oh ok, thank you!! 🙏🏾
Must it be cooked with red oil?
This particular stew style is with red oil . We have other type of stew with vegetable oil …
How long should the fish be soaked in salted water , please!
I actually just do that at the beginning of my soup prep. But atleast 30 mins should be fine.
My first time here, please what is the make of your blender or please leave a link of where i can get it 🙏😉
It is ninja blender.
@@Veeluvstocook but please what is the make, i mean name, of the blender or company that made it, so sorry for disturbing you
That is the name type in ninja pro blender.
Can you do a video on how you brine your fish and cook your meat
Hi Esty. How I cook my meat is the same way I cook my meat in my other traditional soup recipes on my channel. As for brining the fish, there is really nothing much to it. You just remove the scales from the fish, add enough salt to taste into water of amount that will cover up the fish before you start cooking and there you have it. let me know if you need more help aiit.
Please did u bleach the oil first?
No I did not. No bleaching or frying of the oil.
i dont like mine very runny, to thicken it up i put corn starch if i can find it or 2 cups of bisto beef gravy does it good i get thick stew on my rice with the chicken well thats how i like it
To each his own😀. If you like it that way, it is perfect then🙂
Corn starch bawo 😂😂
Teacher you are beautiful.
And so are You!!!
@@Veeluvstocook thanks 😊
what's the duration on full
Hi. I don’t quite understand your question.
I'll try this out hopefully I get it lol
Cause my junior sister keeps cooking rubbish whenever mom travel 🤣🤣 I don waste too much money fr iya put
Aww … I pray it goes well. Just follow the recipe step by step that should help,
📝📝✨
😀
Nice one miss
But you didn't add the meet to the stew
You can add meat of choice. It was meant to be fish styled
I think I'll use chicken instead of fish. Maybe shrimp. I am embracing my yoruba tribe inheritance..wanting to learn my maternal culture.
Go for it Roses
Great cooking but why didn't you add iru Yoruba natural seasoning it's more healthier and medicinal than maggi seasoning cube
You can use that if you want to.
Pls whats the name of this fish..?
I used croaker
You didn't say how long you cooked the tomatoes.
Time varies according to various cooking conditions e.g the stove top temperature, the amount of acidity in your tomatoes, your level of tolerated acidity level.
That said,this is what you should aim at: keep having a taste of the soup while cooking to ensure that the raw taste (tangy/acidity)of the tomatoes mix is gone( or better put, is satisfying to your palate). Once satisfied with the taste your tomato is done for you.
I hope this explanation makes sense to you.
Thanks
Hello sis welldone ma
What's your blender product
MUSLIMAH KHADIJAH lifestyle it is Ninja ultimate pro
Nice video, but the water flowing at the beginning is not good, sorry.
can ginger be added to this particular stew??
Originally, no . But if you love ginger and want to try out then go for it. Just don’t go overboard on quantity
What's the point of long cooking watery tomato, wasting gas. I sieve tomato with cloth to avoid longer cooking and there's no tanginess
Because to each his own when it comes to cooking 😊
Can anyone recommend a Nigerian food channel with less chat .
I was told that if you stir like that at the beginning the sour taste never goes away
Gabe Segun never heard of that before... 😊guess I am learning. However though there was no sour taste from the way I did it so maybe it is one of those things they tell us but doesn’t really come out the way they say it if you do the opposite☺️. Thanks for your comment.
@@Veeluvstocook i tried it today. It turned out well for my standard. I guess with more practice I will get better
Gabe Segun am glad it turned well... don’t worry we all get better with practice.. that is natural😐
Tomadoe 😂😂😂
linking straight with you fingers from the spoon is not hygienic . dab little in your palm and lick thanks.
Thanks for your constructive criticism. Having said that, my hands are always kept clean when cooking and before I take a taste(given I was stirring with a spatula not a regular spoon). I do both depending on what I feel comfortable with at the time. So I dont see any thing unhygienic about it. Thanks
Veeluvstocook_ continue!!!
@@nkechialison7959 yes ma'am
I waste all this time and you didn't tell how long it's cook 😂🤣
I can’t tell you the exact time it will take to cook because of some variable, e.g your taste palate( how tangy you taste it), the gas stove temperature used, even up to the tomato used can alter the time. Etc.
However I did tell you what you should look out for to certify doneness . Hopefully you didn’t miss that information and this helps. Stay safe
@@Veeluvstocook 😊 thanks my dear. I made it and my husband and his great grandma they like it 💖. I'm from Brazil and his great grandma is from Nigeria and she doesn't speaking English and it's hard for me to communicate with her. She also doesn't eat food as usual we eating from Brazil. Because she also 103 years old 😊 . I learned a little bit 🗣️ Yoruba just try to make her happy. Thank you so much for you happy. I also subscribe to your channel . Thanks care.
@@janaashaolu5999 I’m so glad it came out nice and they all loved ... you are doing well our wife iyawo(wife)
i think i got tired of the excessive turning.....
why will you test the soup like that even doing video is very wrong my dear
Ok ...🙂
This isn’t stew lol it’s tomato soup. If you’re a newbie look for another recipe
Nice. Thanks. But do away with the accent my darling. Nothing like being you.
If my accent bothers you then please stop watching as I don't want you to be bothered. I am doing exactly what you are preaching - being me,myself and I. And I won't change that for anyone. Thanks.
@@Veeluvstocook yasssss!!!! 💯 ❤️
That is so rude for you to try to tell other people how they should talk. I love her voice, and everything about her so please keep your negativity to yourself.
Video too long
My darling, please drop the accent. You dont need it. Be yourself. And reduce the talk at the beginning. Best of luck! Lv❤💋
My dear which accent are you talking about? I AM ME 100percent so look for someone that is not themselves elsewhere. This is my outlet and I will speak for how long necessary I feel is needed(60 to 90sec of intro is too much talk🤔🤔🤔🤔). Anyways,To each his own. Best of luck to you too. Stay positive
Rose Graham 🤣🤪
My dear this comment is simply ridiculous, which accent? Reduce which talk? This is what they call passive aggressive.
@@kaygbemi7717 my dear God bless you.. i just discovered this same person has left this same comment on one of my other video(i did not realise that until now). From henceforth,silence will be the key for such comments from her. I wont waste my time defending who i am to her . Thanks Kay
Just call me iya gba
Thank you so much for this recipe which ended my long search for this stew .I have cooked
