Raw Garden egg in a kitchen bowl.
  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.
Below is a video of me making eggplant (garden egg sauce). You can use it to make your garden egg stew or scroll down to use the written recipe posted a while back.

NIGERIAN GARDEN EGG STEW 

Ingredients :for Nigerian garden egg stew

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.

  10. 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

  11. Yea…I usually put mine on top of the yam so dey can steam, I don't boil in water! I thought as much o! Dey are all egg plant, shey?

  12. 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

  13. I love mine with the skin. Just boil and pound in a mortar and fry. I like it rough not too smooth, I will try this too Shayor. Thank you.
