Coconut Asaro (Yam Pottage)
Yoruba-style yam pottage made extra creamy with coconut milk — soft chunks of yam simmered in a rich palm oil and tatashe base, gently mashed for that luscious, spoonable texture.
50 min Serves 4Rice & Grains
Coconut Asaro is a delicious twist on the classic Yoruba comfort food. Chunks of yam soften in a fragrant pepper base brightened with coconut milk, then are gently mashed until part-creamy, part-chunky. The coconut milk rounds out the heat from the scotch bonnets and adds a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with crayfish, thyme and red palm oil.
