Good morning, everyone I didn't get to do a post yesterday as my phone is bad. Today its raining in my locale and I was wondering if you're experiencing the same, if so you'll need a little warm up now, later or tonight.   This post is the recipe for Ayamase which is the ofada stew or let's say sauce. First time cooking this meal? You'll need some pointers.  This meal is the hottest that's its very peppery so you should be ready to sweat out as you eat it up.  Its better severed with ofada rice but other rice dishes will still do, even coconut rice would be more tasty if Ayamase is served as a side sauce. The ofada rice has a very unnatural smell but its still sweet enough.  Here are the ingredients for a nice and tasty ofada sauce Ingredients: 40 pcs unripe habanero peppers (atarodo, ose oyibo, atarugu) green tatashe peppers or green bell peppers locust bean seasoning (Iru, ogiri okpei or dawadawa) 20cl palm oil 2 big onion Crayfish Assor
