| yam with green vegetables tomatoes and eggs |
fun to eat, we just try to tolerate because we want to live and eat healthy. Not in this case. This is one healthy meal that is fun eating. The fun heightens when you see some drops of clean sweat on your forehead and remember that you are eating healthy. This is one healthy meal that even kids love.
NOTE:
- Adding salt early can harden the food and make it take longer to cook. Allow your yam, beans, plantain or whatever to boil before adding salt
- Do not break eggs directly into your pot because you don’t want to eat egg shells, neither do you want a bad egg in your pot.

To buy white yams, insist that you scratch off a little part of the skin, if it doesn’t change color after some seconds, then it is white yam. To see more Tips on Shopping for yams, Go HERE
Seasoning cubes are made with a lot of salt this day. I was fortunate to check for salt after adding the royco seasoning cubes. Thankfully, there was no need for salt.
Please, do not let vegetables sellers cut off all the stalk of your green amaranth, check for softness by breaking one stalk, if it breaks easily then it is still fresh and young.
The fiber and crunchiness of tender stalks is what I really enjoy when chewing the vegetables. After serving everything, I remembered some people outside who didn’t get food, so, I had to make another fast one and serve with the remaining yam. Later, I will post that METHOD 2.
Enjoy!
This is an innovative way of having your veggies present in meals! I like it.
OMG, I love this, well any yam meal will get me, but with eggs and veggies tomato stew! Wow Eya, pity me small 🙂

Have been eating a lot of yam porridge recently. I can eat yam in any form everyday:)
Have a good weekend.
When I have excess green esp when I used it to prepare a soup,I usually throw it away cos I don't know what else to do with it.*covers face*.TAnx Aunty Eya for letting mi know dis
I made this one time just out of what new to do and it turned out so nice. Thanks a lot Eya for this recipe share.
Have a super blessed day!

This is really nice, I tried it once cos I ws tired of makking tomato and egg sauce for d boiled yam so I added d green and added sardine as well. It ws fantastic!
Yup its yam,and I can't help but like it. Could recall how mum do force it down our throat before we leave for skul,coz me and ma siblings don't like d amaranthus,we prefer d flutted pumpkin.
And dats what I use in preparing ma own. Still come out gud sha,maybe not like aunty Ojay's.lolz

Anty eya,you won't kill me oh!mehn cant wait to try it out. Weldone anty,kip it up….
Eya,this is nice but what is d point of adding water to the eggs?…Bomsy
Hi Eya, haven't tried it wiv green usually use d ugwu leaves nd its equally nyce. Wld def try it wiv green veggies. Well done
Hi Bomsy, the little water has a way of loosening up the eggs, so that they come out in tiny particles like little egusi lumpsin egusi soup.
I guess I didn't add enough water because the eggs still came out in big pieces. Lol!
Thanks everyone!
