One of the processes involved in preparing Ayamase stew has to do with bleaching palm oil which could be very harmful if not handled with care. It’s best the oil is bleached on a low heat, the pot well covered and in a well-ventilated kitchen.
Again the peppers used are also coarsely blended.
This recipe don’t go well for children as it’s hot and pepperish. It goes well with ofada rice. You can as well enjoy with other types of white rice.
