The Mother-In-Law’s Nigerian Tomato Stew
Nigerian Stews and Sauces
Stews and Sauces are essential to Nigerian gastronomy. Most staple foods are cooked plain and eaten with either stew or a sauce. This makes Nigerian foods one of the most versatile in the world. With one staple food, you can have up to a dozen different tastes. Really, there is always food for everyone in Nigeria.
