HOW TO MAKE AYAMASE STEW | DESIGNER STEW RECIPE

Hey foodies, today on Bukie's Kitchen Muse, we will be trying out one of the most popular stews in Nigeria called the Ayamase Stew. So fun fact about Ayamase: According to legend (my friends story), the Ayamase stew actually originates from the town of Ikenne, Ogun State - a town also popular for being the home town of the late Obafemi Awolowo. For years one of the most popular buka in Ikenne was owned by a lady known as Madam Ayamase. People would come from far and wide just to have a taste of her amazing stew and over the years the legend of both the lady and her stew grew into what it is today.
It's important to note also that Ayamase is very similar to Ofada. They are generally within the same taste register bracket and the method of preparation is very similar. One major difference between the stews, however, is the type of bell peppers that are used. For Ayamase green peppers are used while red peppers are used in the case of Ofada.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here is how to cook an authentic Ayamase Stew. Hope you all try it sometime. xoxo
Preparation Time: 45 Minutes
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 1Hour 5 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

    Yes, your friend is right about the origin. I am from Ikenne and the Aya Mase is a stone's throw from my family house. Aya means iyawo (wife) . Her husband was Mase so she was iyawo Mase (Mase's wife) hense the name Aya Mase.

    You are so beautifully descriptive. Well done for posting this. However, for our body's sake there is no need to burn the oil. Eating any burnt oil or buttter is really not good for our delicate organs and digestive system. Natural oils come with their own vital goodness Please try to cook this without that practice. In Sierra Leone it is called palm oil stew. My Grandma taught me to cook this and wilth all the lush ingredients, (no stock cubes in those days,) it was always delicious and still is!
