👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the pepper blend: Roughly chop the green bell peppers and scotch bonnets. Add them to a blender along with the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup) to help with blending. Blend until smooth.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Bleach the palm oil: Pour the palm oil into a pot or deep pan. Heat over medium-high heat (around 180°C / 350°F). Allow the oil to bubble and reduce in volume, changing from a deep red to a lighter, yellowish color. This process takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it smoke excessively. Once bleached, carefully pour out about half of the oil, leaving the rest in the pot.
⏱️ 15 minutes
3
Fry the pepper blend: Add the blended pepper mixture to the bleached palm oil in the pot. Stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes. The mixture should reduce, thicken, and the oil should start to separate from the stew. You'll notice the color becoming more vibrant and the raw pepper smell dissipating.
⏱️ 25 minutes
4
Add meat and seasonings: Add the pre-cooked assorted meat to the stew. Stir in the locust beans (iru) and crumbled stock cubes (if using). Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. If the stew is too thick, add a splash of water or meat stock.
⏱️ 15 minutes
5
Serve: The Ofada stew is ready when it has a rich, slightly oily consistency and a deep green color. Serve hot with boiled Ofada rice or any other preferred rice.
⏱️ 5 minutes

✨ アレンジアイデア

このレシピを独自にアレンジするためのヒント

For a milder version, reduce the number of scotch bonnets and remove all seeds and membranes.
Add more assorted meat or different types of protein like fish or chicken.
Some variations include adding a small amount of tomato paste for a slightly different flavor profile, though this is not traditional Ayamase.
