  • 10–15 green bell peppers (tatashe or mixed green peppers)
  • 3–5 scotch bonnet peppers (ata rodo)
  • 2 medium onions, chopped.
  • Assorted meat (beef, shaki, goat meat, ponmo)
  • Smoked fish (optional)
  • 1/2 cup palm oil (bleached)
  • 2 tablespoons locust beans (iru)
  • 1–2 tablespoons ground crayfish (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2–3 seasoning cubes

Steps

  1. Wash and blend the green bell peppers, scotch bonnet, and one onion. The blend should not be too smooth; a slightly coarse texture is preferred.
  2. Wash and season the assorted meat with salt, onions, and seasoning cubes. Boil until tender.
  3. You may fry or grill the meat for extra flavor.
  4. Heat the palm oil in a pot until it becomes lighter in color. Be careful not to overheat it.
  5. Allow it to cool slightly before use.
  6. Add chopped onions to the bleached oil.
  7. Stir in locust beans and fry for a few minutes.
  8. Add the blended pepper mix and cook until the water reduces and the oil begins to separate (about 20–30 minutes).
  9. Add the cooked meat and smoked fish.
  10. Season with salt, seasoning cubes, and crayfish.
  11. Stir well and allow to simmer for 10–15 minutes.
