  1. The food looks delicious. I make mine a similar way but I cook the yam with the minimum quantity of water possible so that by the time it's cooked all the water is absorbed and I don't have to drain any excess.
    Vegetables contain a lot of water so when I add the veg I turn the heat down and the steam produced by the water in the veg cooks it in seconds.
    This way all the nutrients are preserved.
    This way you don't

  5. Wow, thanks for this reminder of home. But we add ewedu leaves to the green. We steam the veggies with pepper and onions, then pound a bit in mortar before adding to the already cooked yam with oil, crayfish, salt and fish. So yum yum.
