If you are looking for something sweeter, then this Yam Porridge recipe is perfect for you. Cooked with coconuts and chicken, this dish is bound to become a favourite especially for kids!

1 Tea spoon Thyme
3 Scotch bonnet Pepper
½ Teaspoon ginger
4 Tatashe (Red Bell Pepper)
2 Paprika
2 large red Onions (For blending and another chopped)
1Teaspoon Salt
1 Bouillon Cube
3 Cups Coconut milk
½ Cup Chicken Stock
½ Tuber Yam
1 Sweet Red Bell Pepper
1 Sweet Green Bell Pepper
1 Carrot Sliced thinly

1 Chicken Breast
*Peel and slice the yam
*Wash, tatase, paprika, scotch bonnet and onions. Blend till smooth
*Slice Red and Green Pepper into strips, it will be added at the end of cooking.
*Smash coconut and chop into little bits for easy blending. Blend with some water and sieve all the milk. Repeat this step till you get enough milk. If this process is too tedious, you can buy coconut milk from the supermarkets.
*Slice chicken breasts thinly so that it cooks quickly, season with some salt and set aside in a sealed container in the fridge.
Cooking
In a pan, add palm oil and allow to heat up. When the pan is hot, add onions, ginger, curry powder, thyme and fry till it is soft and translucent.
Next add pepper blend, and fry till the oil floats to the top or the sauce begins to clump together.
Add salt and seasoning, stir together and keep frying for a few minutes.
Next add deboned fish and keep frying till the oil floats to the top.
Add coconut milk to the pot, the chicken stock and add cubed yams. Make sure the milk is enough to cook the yams thoroughly and some left over as the yam pottage sauce.
Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
While the yam is cooking, in a pan, spray some vegetable oil and stir-fry sliced bell peppers and carrots till fragrant and almost translucent.
In the same pan, add sliced chicken breast and fry on both sides till lightly browned, this should take about 4 minutes.
When the yam is cooked, add stir-fry peppers and chicken, then mix everything together, mashing some yam in the process.
Sprinkle the spring onions on top the yam for garnishing and extra flavour.
Serve and enjoy!
My favourite breakfast is hot cereal; oats, plantain, banana, corn/cornmeal, cream of wheat, arrowroot, peanut...etc

ReplyDeleteSorry.
DeleteYummy yummy in my tummy. Will try this most def.
ReplyDeleteI hate new yams so I can't experiment now.will wait till I see old yams
ReplyDeleteAll these things for yam porridge. Yam just came out, won't advice you cook this with new yam, new yam is best served with pepper soup this period, from late November, that's when porridge will work best, especially with egg and tomato sauce. I love to cook mine in a mortar, I also love to include ugba, panla, big red crayfish and freshly cut spinach or ugu. Ji han gwo la gwo/ji abubo.
ReplyDeleteThese are the only things I want to add to yam porridge. I really don't think I want carrots in my yam.
DeleteYou'll love carrots when its added to tomatoes and egg sauce, certainly not for porridge.
