Friends and family, please be informed, the potato leaves needed for this recipe is the kind from sweet potatoes and not the regular potatoes. Thank you and enjoy 🙏🏾
I was just going to ask that. Thanks for the info
That's actually very helpful and VERY IMPORTANT! Regular potato leaves are poisonous.
Delicious recipe! I made it with some leftover sweet potato greens I got from the farmers market, and it was sooo good! I’ll definitely be making this again!
Wow that's great. This dish is from my country Sierra Leone . Thanks very much for sharing it. I ve missed it for too long now
Yes Sarah! And what a coincidence my dear! My friend who taught me how to make this dish is also a Sesay ❤️
@@NanaabasKitchen Sesay is very common Surname in the Guinea region.
Thanks for this video I am a lover of all food willing to try new dishes, I only had this dish once from my Liberia co- worker/ good friend at this point and I am hook ! I also like how you explain the various seasonings that you use this helps I am a Caribbean woman and will enjoy learning to cook these amazing dishes.
There is so many recepies that you post that make me hungry! I liked this one a lot as well! Have you thought of making a recepie book? I would buy it!💞👍
You blend oguri, onions, and peppers tohther. But I like how u made it. Very quick. U also add just a lil bit peanut butter. It makes it richer
Oh I love the peanut idea! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for the explanation about ogiri. I am going to make my own.
Yore welcome! To take your ogiri to the next level, put in foil and bake for about 1 hr at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, it will it a really lovely nutty taste!
Thank you for this. I can cook all the foods that I love now. 💛
Nisha, I’m happy you’re finding this channel helpful dear 😘
Looks very yummy
May God continue to bless you I love your cooking I wish I was close to you to eat it
Thank you and God bless you too🙏🏽❤️
Never even heard about POTATO LEAF stew ! for real haha
Great recipe
It’s delicious!! Thank you dear 😘
Love your version of our potato leaves😘 you can even bake your fermented sesame seed/ogiri to bring out a certain nutty flavor to it.... you will love it even more... so after fermenting, form into balls and wrap in foil and place in oven to toast/bake until its a nice golden brown color, after it cools you can just store in freezer until you are ready to use and blend with some water as you did in the video... this is a secret so please don’t tell anyone 😜... we use ogiri in just about every plasas/soups that we make
Augusta Fornah, I thank you so much for sharing the secret with me! I’ll definitely try it today! whispering ... “ I can’t promise not to tell anyone about this secret” lol 😂 😂😂😂. Thank you for staying tuned! Xoxo.
You did a great job you have a new Sierra leonean friend
Thank you sis! Much love and I appreciate your support 🙏🏾❤️
The stew has too much water. You need to let the palm oil cook with the onions blend and ogiri really well. When you put your leaves in, leave the cover off after a while so all the water can go. At the end you should really just have the oil and leaves should not be any water if you want that stew to be Excellent!!! Lol
Thanks for your input! I’ll revisit and tweak the recipe with your constructive feedback in mind! 🙏🏿😍
Aaa it’s not Freetown pamai ya
You are amazing is their anything you can't cook 😆
Just in time Nanaba lol. I just bought some potato leaves. Thank you.

Thank you for you video. But we ( Sierra Leoneans) don’t use black pepper in our potato leaves
Thank you Hawa for your feedback.

This video was put together very well and thank you for providing a list of ingredients and measurements! Can you please give the ratio of water to sesame seeds you used for the ogiri?
Thank you Tia C 🙏🏾💕. The ratio of sesame seeds to water should be 2 : 1.
Nanaaba's Kitchen hi! Is this 2 cups of water 1 cup of sesame seeds... I’m trying this recipe this weekend

Thank you!!! I buy them from an oriental supermarket.
wonderful
Thank you FE🙏🏿❤️
Am Nigerian from Igbo part we use ogiri as well we call it ogili
Thank you Floxy 🙏🏾😘
Can l add tomatos as Ghanaians use a lot of tomatoes in cooking 😊
Can the leaves be cleaned and freeze until ready to use on another day
❤❤❤
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you also!
Can I use frozen sweet potatoes leaves for the stew. Thanks
Absolutely
Where can I buy Potato leaves
where can I get ogori
Do you have a vegetarian recipe?
Honesty I know this might blasphemy as a Salone Bor bor. But Potato leaf and crain cray to me is better than Cassava leaves, and I love cassava leaves too.
I really love potato leaves so I see where you’re coming from 🙏🏽
Hello Nana, can I use cassava leave instead of potato leave?
Yes Beverly Owusu, you most sweatily can. Keep in mind though, cassava leaves take longer to cook beacause they’re not as tender. Also, I have a good cassava leaf recipe coming up pretty soon so stay connected by clicking on the bell if you haven’t already done so. I don’t want you to miss it! Thank you for your support and the great question 😘
@@NanaabasKitchen I have already subscribed and I get notifications. Thank you so much for all you do. You are awesome :) I cannot wait for the cassava leaf stew .
Ogiri is very traditional to the igbo. It can be made from castor seed, legume seeds sometimes with little charcoal.
Promise, it’s such an incredible ingredient! Thanks for the charcoal idea. 🙏🏾💕😘
Ogiri is traditional to a lot of West African countries not just Igbo. Sierra Leone ogiri is made of sesame seeds and brown in color and Igbo origi is black and sometimes very hard to the touch.
I really want to try this out! Looks amazing!
yummi
Thank you for watching and commenting!
How do you store you leftover oguri do you refrigerator etc and how long
It store very well frozen for months.
Sweet potato leaves
Yes dear,sweet potato leaves🙏🏿
😍😍
Thank you 🙏🏿🙏🏿😘
If you narrate the process while it's happening on video it would be much more easy and pleasant to watch. It's kinda hard to see you add stuff that we don't know what they are and 20 seconds later you narrate what you added, it's hard to keep the record. It's just my sugestion, better if video and voice are synchronized. Good job, anyway
What brand is your pot? I prefer black over the silver
It is a world market brand. Thank you👍🏽
Were did u get the fresh potato leaves from ?
At an oriental store.
mis, leaves needed green bod thanks
Thanks for the video I like it😍😍 but next time use the sticks of the potato leaves it also have some tast .
Tank you so much for your feedback 😘
Is ogeri tahini
Ogeri is fermented sesame seeds, tahini is roasted sesame seeds that are ground into a paste.
Where is the ingredients list?
Look very nice but those potatoes leaves are big in size, you should slice it in smaller slices.
Noted, I know traditionally, the leaves are sliced more thinly. They disintegrate when cooked too. Thank you!!
is normal potato leaves not good?
I used sweet potato leaves. I haven’t done any research around regular potato leaves.
Apparently regular potato leaves are toxic even when cooked which is why they are rarely if ever sold in shops.
does the oguri have the same effect as potash?
Potash is more alkaline in structure as ogeri is more acidic due to the fermentation. I’ve not used potash in any recipe yet.
@@NanaabasKitchen Thank you
