What is Yam Porridge?
Yam Porridge, known as Asaro in Yoruba, is made by cooking chunks of yam in a tomato, pepper, and palm oil sauce until the yam softens and partially breaks down into the sauce. The result is a thick, stew-like porridge with a warm, subtly sweet yam flavour and a spiced, savoury sauce. It is eaten as a complete one-pot meal with a choice of beef or chicken.
Asaro is a Yoruba comfort food eaten across Nigeria. It is one of those dishes that tastes best when made in a large pot — the flavour builds as the yam breaks down into the sauce.
