Recipe Of Yam And Spinach (Ugu Leaf) Pottage - My Wednesday Highlight

Yam pottage is a popular West African dish consisting of yam chunks cooked in a pepper sauce with traditional spices. It's known as "Asaro" in Nigeria's western region, "Mpotompoto" in Ghana, and "Sese yams" in Cameroon. Yam is one of West Africa's most widely consumed staple foods.

For added nutritional value and flavor, most people garnish their yam pottage with fresh leafy greens like as spinach, bay leaves, and Kale, but some prefer it simple. I prefer the former because of its richness, but either way, with or without, they are equally delicious.
