Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Sweet potato porridge is the one-pot pottage that Nigerians make the way they make yam porridge, but sweeter: chunks of sweet potato cooked in a sauce of palm oil, tomato, pepper, onion and crayfish with smoked or dried fish, until the potato is soft and the sauce has thickened around it, with a handful of greens stirred in at the end. It is a lunch or dinner dish, and it is what many families cook in the weeks when sweet potatoes are cheap and plentiful.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 12 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
