Hello vegan lovers welcome to the weekend and new month. I want to share my quick and easy ugba sauce with yam recipe for the ongoing #qurator weekly cooking contest.
This was an easy to make and delicious meal for the family dinner. The ugba also know as african oil bean seed is a traditional plant recipe that is a rich source of protein. It is eaten as a delicacy and also used in flavouring soups and other meals.
It is used in different parts of Nigeria and called different names in one region to another. So I decided to use it for a quick sauce to be eaten with yam. One can also eat it with potatoes or rice.
Here are the ingredients used
1 medium sized tuber of yam
A small bowl of ugba( African oil bean)
2 large onions
1 gram of scotch bonnet pepper
Some scent leaves
A table spoon of salt
2 seasoning cubes
3 cooking spoon of palm oil
Preparation
Cut and peel the yams. Cut into chunks, wash and put on fire after adding some salt to cook for 15 mins
Wash and blend the peppers
Chop the onions
Wash the ugba
Pick and chop the scent leaves
To cook pour 3 cooking spoon of palm oil and add some onions
Put in the blended peppers and let it saute for a 5 mins till the water dries up then put in the salt and seasoning cubes
Add the ugba and stir. Leave to cook for another 3 minutes
Add the chopped scent leaves and leave it for 1 minute and its ready
Strain out the water from the yams and serve with the sauce
This was quick and easy to prepare, it also tasted so good. Try it and thank me later.
