The first time I tasted Ayamase was when I travelled to "the abroad" and it was served at a party...I was like "whaaaaaaaaat is THIS"? My eyes open wide the only way it opens when it is excited. My tastebuds were very happy-it was like a stew I've tasted only in my dreams-I begged the caterer for the recipe that day....I would have washed her plates to learn how to make it. This stew prepared properly fit carry pesin 'osband go-I warned you about it HERE. This recipe is close to my heart so I hope you enjoy it.

It is Ogiri. I make my ofada stew with both cos i like the sight of the locust bean seeds (ori/ogiri)and also add normal ogiri. it accentuates that local aroma. I am ibo and hubby does not joke with this stew anytime i make it. IT IS BAE!!!
DeleteI think it's called ogiri. This stew is not the same without iru/locust beans
