Ayamase Stew – Ofada Stew

Happy new week guys! Hope you had a wonderful weekend? I tried to change the face of the blog by using another theme it is still work in progress so bear with me. Recipe for today is Ayamase stew….So delicious!

Ayamase or ofada rice stew is one of my favorites stew I don’t think I can ever get tired of it. Any time I make this stew that is what I will eat throughout that day. Back home I ate this almost every day at work, I can’t say enough how I like this stew with ofada rice. I always saved the green habanero/rodo anytime I have them, you can tell by looking at it in the picture…lol  Try it and I hope you would love it as my family and I always loved (and still love) it. I roasted the meat I used you can use just boiled meat or fried meat.

I have some stew recipes that I posted before you can check them out.
