No sauce matches rice and beans better than a homemade local
sauce. Joyful Cook shows us how to create the
perfect recipe.
Rice and beans with sauce or stew is a beloved dish across Nigeria
and Africa. For this local sauce, Joyful Cook combines red bell peppers, scotch
bonnet peppers, palm oil, iru (fermented locust beans), dried/smoked fish,
crayfish, fried mackerel, boiled eggs, ginger powder, and seasonings to taste.
To capture the authentic local flavour, she serves the dish with some fried
plantains on a banana leaf.
