I beg you in the name of your owner to stop forming! If truly you are a naija diary, then you should know what
boiled yam with oil is. Stop forming, I don’t like it. Be real jare!
I enjoyed this dish my own very self. We all know what good, raw onion can do to our hearts, how to eat the raw onion, is our number one problem. The smell and everything. Eating raw onion in palm oil is the easiest thing to do. The crunchiness of the onion makes the salted boiled yam even more delicious.
To convince myself that the meal is balanced, I had to chew chicken as dessert. LOL!
So now, I guess yam and palm oil is a balanced meal!!!
Ingredients:
- salted boiled yam
- palm oil (salted)
- chopped onion
- some fish or chicken

| this is how to enjoy boiled yam with palm oil |
Some slices of boiled yam are put in there to heat the oil up.
Raw onion and garlic are very good for the heart. The problem is how to enjoy them. For raw onion, this is my easiest way of eating it. I didn’t forget to rinse my mouth with mouth wash after eating though.
Enjoy o jare!
You have made boiled yam and palm oil look so sexy ehn….now I actually am craving some.

Aunty Ojay I don't know how to start but I must start somewhere. I was shocked when I saw dis post,dat I had to reload it again.
My favourite food right from childhood has been yam and oil. And eachtime I say it my friends do laugh at me,as a child when served yam and beans I always remove d yam from d beans and eat with oil.
I prefer roasted yam with ukpaka,crayfish and utazi. Now I miss grandma so much.
Tanx aunty Ojay,u touched me in a special way with dis post,may God bless u for remembering people like me.

I ℓ♥√ع adding ukpaka (oil-bean) to mine…along with sliced fresh pepper and utazi. I† tastes divine!
There's this ugba sauce a friend of mine taught me. I† goes wonderfully with boiled/roasted yam or boiled/roasted ripe/unripe plantain….(Hope you ge† wat i jus† typed) anyway, I'll share the recipe below…afterall, na kitchen we dey. Ok, so here goes..
INGRIDENTS
Ugba
Fresh pepper
Palm oil
Utazi
Tomatoes
Ground Crayfish
Onions
PREPARATION
Slice up the tomatoes, onions and pepper.
Pu† your palm oil in a po†, once i†'s ho†, pour in the onions, fry a little then pour in the sliced tomatoes and pepper. For some reason, i like to pu† in my pepper after the onions and fry for a 'lil while before adding the tomatoes….don'† ask me why ooo, 'cos i don'† even know why. *covers face*
While frying the tomatoes, add your salt, maggi and more dried pepper if need be.
Wen the tomatoes dry up a little, add the ukpaka, fry for a while, then add the crayfish and then the utazi. Le† i† simmer for a while and then turn off the fire and serve.
NOTE: I added the crayfish last cos crayfish usually speeds up burning. I don'† want my food sticking to the bottom of the pot while i fry i†.
Enjoy this ukpaka sauce with your ho† yam. I ℓ♥√ع eating the leftovers the following day because of the special flavor i† develops. Even if i don'† have enoff sauce left, i jus† heat up more oil and add i† to the little sauce i have. I† s†ill tastes wonderful in a local way.
Thank you for your blog Eya. Will keep coming.
Thanks Chinazor, I have to try this tomorrow! Sounds interesting.

Yak, just oil and onions. Makes me feel like throwing up. I think if you add pepper and heat it oil up a little, it will be improved. Make you no vex oh.
