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

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.
Thanks for posting this tutorial I’m Irish and have just prepared this for my Nigerian husband and he loved it !!! Kids do too 😀

You are very right about where the stew originates from Ma mum who comes from ikene told me the same story as well
Hello Bukky, though you are young you cook like a grandma it’s a compliment and I love watching you. From how you shake the pots, cook on low heat, crumble your stock cubes it reminds me of my mum. God bless. Abi

Well done Bukie, you did a great job by doing the research. Another thing, I often do is to fry my meat in the palm oil for sometime, this gives the meat a "smoky" taste. Thanks for sharing this stew from my hometown.

Pretty 🤩 Bukky. Will try it but you did not tell what happened to the boiled meat water as well as the seasoning you added in making the meat.
Making Ayamase. Great video. Did you boil the meat also as you mentioned grilled.
Can i add some tomorrow to it?
Thanks for the tips, I will be trying this for sure. Right now the only ayemase stew we eat is the one dear mother-in-love gifts us hahaah ;)

Minjiba Cookey You're welcome...Thank God for MILs.
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!
What ,independent of food processor did you use or which one do you recommend?
Guess what buckie, just cooked ayamase now, but in Houston, I don't know where I can get ofada, but I'm eating with other available rice. Waiting for hubby and kids to be back. So happy, it's looking good🤣😂😀🤗😙😀

Odun Ayo It may be to cook it with a different oil and cut down on the meats, unfortunately I haven't tried it and it will no longer be Ayamase.
Is it possible to make it with just fish? and if so how would I add flavour?
You are wrong the place you mentioned, it came from Abeokuta, it is Egba people that were using it to eat ofada rice which also originated from one of Egba village near Owode and Ibafo
Quick question, what is the purpose of bleaching palm oil? Curious Ghanaian here. Thanks

Tina Dompreh Hi Tina, bleached Palm Oil tastes different from unbleached Palm Oil, it's this taste difference that's necessary in some Nigerian dishes.
i cant get propper tripe to make this in lancashire

Hwy Bukie. When i cook this, i usually don't find the green tatashe so i use the fried rice pepper. Do you think its important to remove the seeds from the pepper before blending. Or do you blend with the seeds?

Aya-ma-se meaning *quick cooking stew* - Ikenne (Yoruba) language!
Why is the ayamse black isn't it supposed to be green?
