Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Blend the red bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add a splash of water if needed to help the blending process.
2
Heat the palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
3
Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Aproximativ 4 min.
4
Pour in the blended pepper mixture and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil starts to separate.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooking the sauce well is key to a rich flavor.
5
Stir in the smoked paprika, crayfish powder (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
Add the cubed yam to the pot and stir to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Aproximativ 2 min.
7
Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the yam is mostly submerged. Add more broth or water if necessary.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the yam is very tender and easily mashed with a spoon.
Aproximativ 22 min.
Nota bucătarului: Check for tenderness by piercing a yam cube with a fork.
9
Gently mash some of the yam cubes against the side of the pot to create a thicker, more porridge-like consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't mash all of it unless you prefer a completely smooth porridge.
10
If using, stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Aproximativ 2 min.
11
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Aproximativ 1 min.
12
Serve hot and enjoy.
