Red Oil Yam Porridge

Description

Yam Pottage is a warm, hearty one-pot delight made with tender chunks of yam simmered in a rich blend of palm oil, meat stock, assorted proteins, and aromatic spices. Infused with the savory depth of crayfish, chopped onions, fresh pepper, and seasoning cubes, each bite delivers a perfect balance of flavor and comfort. As the yams soften and melt slightly into the sauce, they create a naturally thick, luscious texture. Topped off with fresh green vegetables like pumpkin leaves or spinach, this dish is both nourishing and satisfying — a true taste of home, tradition, and love in every spoonful.
