Hello foodies 👋
Today I want to share with you a very nice recipe that I made for my mom.
This recipe is one of her favorite, I learnt how to do it from her when I was very young so now I decide to make it.
It's a popular yam dish in Nigeria. Boiled Yam and sauce, here we love boiled yam 😀.
So, what I did first was to arrange my ingredients for the meal. And below are th ingredients I used for this dish:
Ingredients
For the yam
A tuber of Yam
Water
Salt
For the sauce
Fresh tomatoes
Fresh Pepper
Egg
Onions
1 seasoning cube
A cooking spoon of vegetable oil (in yellow satchet below)
Salt to taste

Preparations
The first thing I did after getting out all the ingredients is to:
- Put water in the pot to boil, then
- I Slice the yam
- After slicing and peeling I wash it thoroughly and put it in the pot of boiling water. (The water should be enough to cover the yam)

I think it usually takes 25-30 minutes for yam to boil but I always like to confirm by using a fork or knive, if I can pierce through with one of these, I know it's done.
So while waiting for the yam to be done, I start preparing things for the sauce:
- I pound the pepper using the mortar and pestle
- I cut the onions and tomatoes and put them in a plate with the pepper
- I also beat the egg
- So after a while I checked on the yam using a fork and i saw that it was already done, so I sieved the water and put the yam in a bowl
Soft and ready
So after that it was time to make the sauce.
Making the sauce
- First I heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat
- I add the chopped onions into the hot oil and stir until translucent
- Next I add the chopped tomatoes and stir a bit, and then i added the pepper to it. I stir it very well to let it cook down and the liquid reduced.

Next I add the seasoning cube and some salt to taste, after stirring it a bit, the sauce is ready!!!
Then I served some in a plate for my mom.
