Ikokore (Water Yam Pottage)
A savoury Ijebu favourite — soft water-yam dumplings simmered in a smoky, peppery broth with goat meat and dried fish.
1 hr 15 min Serves 5Soup & Stew
Ikokore is the ultimate comfort food of the Ijebu people of Ogun State. Grated water yam is scooped into a rich, peppery broth loaded with goat meat, dried fish, prawns and palm oil. The result is a thick, hearty pottage that sits somewhere between soup and swallow — perfect for cold evenings or whenever you need a taste of home.
