My low cost Nigerian tomato stew is delicious. I made a low cost lunch and decided to share with my online family that you dont always need large amounts of money in order to cook a sumptous meal.
rice/beans with tin-tomato stew(i would lay all emphasis on the stew)
Ingredients for the low cost Nigerian tomato stew.
tasty tom tomato paste (2 sachets)
atarodo
garlic clove
onions
ground crayfish
knorr chicken
fish
thyme
salt
canola oil
procedure:
-wash fish and place the cleaned fish inside a pot, spice it up with salt, pepper, seasoning, little thyme.
-bring it to a boil but do not overcook the fish. separate the boiled fish from its stock.
-in a clean pan, fry the fish in oil. i prefer canola oil because it has omega 3 in it.
-in a clean bowls, slice your onions, garlic(used two pieces), pepper(you can manual blender because i want the pepper coarse)
-in a clean bowl, put the thick tomato paste,add the previously sliced onions into the paste and add water to this ensure its not too watery and too thick( sorry i couldnt take the picture)
-in your pot, add your oil, allow to heat up, then add the pepper. stir for a short while, then add the not too thick tomato and onion paste and stir.
-ensure the mixture doesnt burn by stirring at intervals and tasting to ensure the sour taste of the paste isnt evident.
-when the tomato paste is fried, add benny chicken spice and thyme and garlic.
-after a short while, add the fish stock and stir, add salt and if need be, add knorr seasoning, stir and cover the pot to cook.
-check to ensure it isnt burning and after a while, add the blended crayfish, stir and add your fried fish.
-3 to 5 minutes later, lunch is served.
-please try it and give us feedback.

Nice one sis. Never tried crayfish in recent times
Lol. @anonymous 3:53pm and Debbie, Na true oooo! Men no get time, no time for wasting time, so long as the food has taste, in my school days, sometimes the food will be half done and we're already devouring it while still on fire. Sometimes the ingredient will not be complete and the food is good to go.
