Step 1

Blend half onion, pepper and tomatoes together. Process into a coarse texture and set aside in a strainer to drain excess water

Step 4

Once the oil is afloat the sauce, add salt, stock cube and seasoning. Adjust according to personal taste.

Step 5

Turn the heat down to low-medium and fry for another 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure your sauce does not burn

Step 6

Your sauce is ready once the oil floats at the top and the sauce itself is a dark red shade. Slim off excess oil and serve with fried yam
