• Seafood Efo Riro without Oil and Boiled Plantain

    I posted this dish on Facebook with the above caption and of course the questions came flooding in :). I love sparking conversations. This dish is not as complex as it seems. It’s the same concept as tomato pepper soup or tomato stew without oil. Instead of frying anything, you are just boiling the tomato all the way except in a smaller amount for the Efo-riro. Let me tell you three benefits of the vegetable I decided to use; Spinach!

    -Spinach is low in calories and high in Vitamins A and K. Vitamin A helps boost our immunity, fights cataract and helps improve our skin. Vitamin K helps with great bone health, it has anti inflammatory properties and improves brain health.

    – Spinach has cancer fighting anti-oxidants. 

    – It can help improve Cardio-vascular health

    My Efo Riro Recipe is already available on the blog.

    The only difference in the step is instead of frying the onions, I start boiling the tomato till all the water is evaporated, I add my onions in the process and the seasoning. Then I add my vegetables. Voila, Serve with Boiled Plantain.

        Hi Linda, I apologize as I should go back and rewrite this recipe. I added the prawns before the vegetable. so it could cook well. I also mentioned I added seasoning cubes but that is preferential. Some people just prefer seasoning from the prawns. I add a little extra myself.
