This is one of those meals that brings back really fond memories of my childhood. Saturdays, right after ogi and akara in boarding school, students would fight tooth and nail to take as much egg as possible because nobody really believed sharing was caring. People would actually engage in trade by barter or bullying just to get a second portion of egg, which was usually served with yam. It was that serious.

At home, we made stewed eggs with corned beef or sardines and ate it with yam, bread or plantain. Unfortunately, there was nobody at home to trade with or bully for more eggs.

Stewed eggs and boiled yam

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
