Korak za korakom

1
Blend the red bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: 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.
Približno 2 min
3
Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Približno 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.
Približno 12 min

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.
Približno 22 min
Kuharjeva opomba: 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.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Don't mash all of it unless you prefer a completely smooth porridge.

If using, stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
