Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Mackerel stew, titus stew to most Nigerians after the fish's market name, is the Saturday-morning stew of many homes: a red tomato-and-pepper stew fried in oil with mackerel that has been boiled and flaked, or grilled and left in pieces. It is eaten with boiled yam, bread, white rice or boiled beans, and it is cheaper and quicker than a meat stew. The oily fish gives the stew a richness that chicken stew does not have.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
