HOW TO COOK YAM AND SPINACH.
My dad taught me how to prepare this meal when I was little and although I hated it then (I hated anything vegetable then…). Now it’s one of my favorite foods. Here is the step by step method
INGREDIENTS:
Yam, Spinach (green or aleho), Onions, Pepper, Salt, Royco. You can decide to add smoked fish as well.
-
Peel and cut your yam into small sizes.
-
Wash the yam and put in the pot to boil. Add a little salt.
-
While the yam is boiling, cut and wash your spinach or green amaranth.
-
Next you cut your onions, pound your pepper and seasoning.
-
When your yam is almost done, add your spinach to the yam and allow to cook for a few minutes.
-
After cooking for some minutes….
-
Remove the yam from the fire and sieve the water
-
Put a dry pot on the fire, add palm oil and onion. Fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add pepper, salt and royco.
-
How to cook yam and spinach Fry for 1 minute, den reduce the heat and add your cooked yam and green. Mix very well.

I wud put the pepper and oda stuff with the yam to cook. Will try this fry fry one.lol
Thanks Eya for posting….Thanks for the comments so far.
The food looks delicious. I make mine a similar way but I cook the yam with the minimum quantity of water possible so that by the time it's cooked all the water is absorbed and I don't have to drain any excess.
Vegetables contain a lot of water so when I add the veg I turn the heat down and the steam produced by the water in the veg cooks it in seconds.
This way all the nutrients are preserved.
This way you don't
Same wt mine.
Nice one and am gonna try this method. My Nubby's fav food too.
I always fry my veg with onions before pouring in the cooked yams.
I love this! I'm making this for dinner tomorrow! Thanks for sharing this recipe Priscilla!
1st time seeing some1 call it aleho..U must stay/have stayed in the north..all this amaranth really got me confused @ 1st if not cos I'm familiar with the leaf..wud have been lost..I had 2 look closely. lol
Looks yummy! I love this meal,its our breakfast every saturday. I've never fried pepper and onions seperately,I'll try it. Thanks Priscillia.
Wow, thanks for this reminder of home. But we add ewedu leaves to the green. We steam the veggies with pepper and onions, then pound a bit in mortar before adding to the already cooked yam with oil, crayfish, salt and fish. So yum yum.
