Pounded Yam is a staple in many West African homes, but it is not usually eaten by itself, it is often paired with many delicious African soups, and stews like Egusi, okra soup, Jute leaves soup (Ewedu), or Stewed Spinach (Efo Riro).

To make a good Efo Riro (stewed Spinach): Get all your ingredients together: The boiled Meat, Fish, Turkey, Chicken or any other choice of protein.

Heat up the Oil: I like to heat up my Oil a bit.

I'm not a fan of bleaching palm Oil so I simply add the Onion once the Oil is hot and while the Onion is cooking in the Oil, the palm oil too is cooking.
