3 SECRETS ON HOW TO MAKE THE BEST YAM POTTAGE RECIPE (ASARO)/TIPS FOR BEST YAM PORRIDGE RECIPE

Yam pottage or yam porridge (Asaro) is a delicious one pot dish that is popular in Nigeria. Yam pottage is very easy to make and of course Yam is the main ingredient in the dish. In this video, I will be sharing secrets and tips on how you can make your Yam pottage/ yam porridge absolutely tasty. Also referred to as Yam porridge, Yam pottage can made be with pretty much any protein, meat, fish, kpomo, prawns, crabs, smoked fish etc. Asaro (as the Yorubas call yam pottage) can also be served with a fried pepper sauce known as ata dindin, In fact Asaro and Ata dindin is a delicacy served at Nigerian parties. Don’t be surprised when you see some yam porridge made with vegetables and others are left plain. I also enjoy eating Yam porridge with some yummy Efo riro or sautéed vegetables on the side. To ensure varieties to your Yam pottage or yam porridge, switch it up sometimes with plantains, sweet potatoes, beans or even pasta.

Cow skin that’s cooked and chopped up. You can probably get it at a store that sells African food. You could also substitute smoked turkey.

[@kimberlyurry3733]

Trying this today, may I ask the amount of cow skin (ponmo) you used please? because it's not listed in the description box with the other ingredients. Thank you ☺️
