How to cook yam porridge with green vegetables and fish. Nigerian yam porridge is one of those dishes that any body can cook because it’s easy.
The procedure is never complicated. Once the yam is peeled and cut into the pot with water and ingredients, the job is done as all you have to do from then is just check and stir until your porridge gets thick and soft. Then you can mash if you like or serve it like this ones below.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized Yam
- 1 large bunch Green amaranth (GREEN, ALEHO) or any other green vegetable
- 3 medium sized smoked catfish
- 2 seasoning cubes
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground fresh pepper or more
- 3 tablespoons Palm oil
- Enough water to cover the washed, cubed yam in the pot.

Steps to cooking green vegetable yam porridge:
- The peeled and diced yam is washed and put in a pot with the water, pepper and palm oil, covered and brought to a boil
- Add the bone picked and washed dry fish, seasoning cubes and salt, stirred, check for salt and leave yam to cook and get soft
- Frequent checking and stirring to help the sauce thicken, when it begins to thicken, check for yam softness with a fork before adding the washed green vegetables if it’s as soft as you want. Stir and turn off the heat. Well, in the course of cooking, if the pot is getting dry while yam is still uncooked, you can add some more water and salt to taste.
The size of yam slices depend on how you want it, they can be diced smaller than what I did here.
Yam porridge with green vegetables is very easy to cook and healthy too.

Yam porridge is best enjoyed when the yam is allowed to cook until it gets very soft. Sorry I don’t always remember to time my cooking. I just continue to check for softness and then turn off the heat when I feel it’s as soft as I wanted.
Enjoy!

@Anon 4:12 am, I am so sorry! I didn't realise that there were no images of ingredients used. I will include them now.
For timing, I always check until it is as soft as I want. Most times I forget to even time my cooking. I'm sorry!
You're doing so well. You should be encouraged for doing something this innovative. The only problem…. if you will take my advise …. is that you have failed to post pictures of the ingredients (too many pictures of the finished product and none of the process) and your description of the process is too vague. You did not say that the fish is dry fish, you did not time the cooking and preparation. It makes me wonder …. are you really serious about imparting your cooking skills to other women or is this blog just for show in the usual Nigerian fashion? Please make the necessary alterations to your posts and you'll have a great blog. Thanks.
Nice one aunty Ojay,its no surprise imma love dis coz I like yam so much. But I use fluted pumpkin instead of d green amaranth. And it comes out tempting and vewy vewy delicious.
