Vegetarian Ayamase Stew
Vegetarian Ayamase stew tastes as flavorful as the traditional dish, with tofu and vegan sausages serving as protein while providing texture.
Ingredients
- 4 Green bell peppers
- 6 Green scotch bonnet peppers
- 2 Onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fermented locust beans Iru, dawadawa
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup Palm Oil
- 250 g Tofu pressed and cut into cubes
- 4 pieces Vegan sausages cut into chunks
Instructions
- Blend the bell peppers, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic and one onion coarsely.
- Pour the blended liquid in a colander. Keep aside to allow the excess liquid to drain.
- Pour the palm oil in a pan under medium heat. Cover the pan and allow the oil to bleach for 10 mins.
- Turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool. Do not open the pan at this time as your kitchen will be filled with smoke. This should take between 7-10 mins.
- Chop the remaining onion. Cut the tofu and sausages into chunks.
- Put the pan back on heat and add the chopped onion. Fry the onions until the colour starts to become golden, then pour in the locust beans. Allow to cook for 5 mins, stirring constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the green blended mix, add the onion powder and some salt. Stir well and cover the pan.
- Allow to cook for around 15 before stirring in the tofu and sausages. Allow to cook for another 15 mins.
- Remove from heat and serve with rice.
