Known locally as ‘Asaro,’ this beloved Nigerian dish is a hearty blend of tender yams, palm oil, tomatoes, and a medley of spices, creating a warm, flavourful meal that has been cherished for generations.
Yam Pottage has its origins in the Yoruba-speaking regions of Nigeria, where it is a staple in many households. Traditionally prepared for family gatherings and communal feasts, this dish embodies the spirit of home-cooked comfort and the vibrant culinary traditions of the Yoruba people.
At Ellesu, we honour the authentic preparation of Yam Pottage by using the finest, freshest ingredients. Our recipe starts with premium yams, which are peeled and cut into chunks before being slowly cooked to perfection. The yams are simmered in a rich blend of palm oil, fresh tomatoes, onions, and peppers, along with a selection of traditional spices that infuse the dish with a deep, robust flavour.
The result is a creamy, savoury pottage that combines the sweetness of the yams with the rich, smoky taste of palm oil and the subtle heat of the spices. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavours, making Yam Pottage a truly satisfying and nourishing meal.
