I cooked garden egg sauce and thought to share with the Wives connection family. Garden egg stew is the cheapest and yet most nutritious plus delicious stew to cook in this economy. With just a few coins in your purse, the pot of stew is ready and served.
Sometimes I remove the skin after boiling, at other times I pound with the skin on.
1 small basket Garden Eggs a handful Red Peppers 1 large Titus Fish 4 cups Palm Oil or more 1 medium sized Onion Salt to taste 2 Seasoning cubes
1 cup ground crayfish
Cooking steps
Wash and Boil garden eggs in a cooking pot (I prefer to boil mine with the yam or unripe plantain) When garden eggs are soft (the skin would start to peel off), remove and place in a bowl of cold water then start to peel off the skin. After peeling, blend, using a food processor or food blender pound with a mortar and pestle or mash with a fork. Blend chilli peppers and onions roughly (I used a manual blender for this) Meanwhile, wash, season and boil the fish. When fish is cooked, set aside and mash Heat a fair quantity of palm oil in a saucepan Add the pepper, ground crayfish and onions Add fish stock and leave to simmer When the pepper is fried, add the garden egg and stir Then add the fish Salt and season to taste Cook for 5 minutes and turn off the heat! Enjoy!!!
This sauce is best enjoyed with yam but can also be eaten with rice or Pasta. Shayor is the Head Chef at Soup-a Bowl Foods.

Tnks for the recipe shayor. This s d season for dis egg, tired of eating it raw good to knw I can prepare it as a sauce. Definately gona prepare it 2mao with yam
The skin wen boiled, is like a transparent nylon on d garden egg. I fink it wld mean you wld have to chew if u don't remove it, it won't just be smooth, so try removing it. Thanks

Nice post shayor but I think leaving the skin intact is recommended for health conscious people as it is a source of fibre then also, my mum wraps the garden egg in black mylon when cooking to minimize the heat damage and she doesn't allow it get soft per say as it would mean eating "chaff" like she says. Then egg plant and garden egg are the same. Americans call it egg plant while british call it aubergine and there are many varieties including the purple, white and green cultivars but the purple cultivar is not common in Nigeria
Shayor, they are all egg plant aka garden egg. I feel 5 mins of cooking time is too much since the vegetable has been soften by prior cooking. 1 min of simmering on low heat is fine too
This is yummylicious shayor.
