Justfoodup:sauce and yamarita

Are you looking for a breakfast with a tasty memory that will last all day long, or you are looking for the food that can easily and Wonderfully be packed into lunch boxes, then here is what you are looking for: the perfect fish sauce and fried yam.

INGREDIENTS

  • Fresh tomatoes- 5 balls (ripe and firm)
  • scotch bonnets pepper- 5-7 (depending on how hot you want to be).
  • Onions- 1 medium sized bulb
  • garlic (optional)- one clove
  • Fresh or Smoked Mackerel fish ( titus) - 1 medium size.
  • Seasoning cubes- 2 cubes
  • salt to taste

crayfish(optional)- 1 blended tablespoon

vegetable oil (preferably soya oil) - half cup( if you are using non stick pan)/ 1 cup (normal frying pan)

PREPARATION

  • Chop the tomatoes, pepper and onions together (do not puree, just grind to coarseness).
  • Boil the fresh Fish with a pinch of salt and small part of your seasoning cubes(this should be for 5 minutes). After boiling, break into small size or chunks(depending on how you like it). On the other hand, if you are using the smoked fish, remove the skin of the smoked fish and break to smaller sizes. 
  • Now you are ready to cook.

DIRECTION FOR COOKING

  1. Heat up your oil in a pan to almost smoking point. Pour in your chopped onions, tomatoes and peppers. Stir and let it fry for five minutes.
  2. After five minutes, add the remaining seasoning cubes, garlic, crayfish and stir. let it fry for 5 minutes, but stirring continuously is key to not letting it burn.
  3. At this time, add the scattered fish and stir. Add two pinches of salt and stir again. reduce the stove and let it simmer for 3 minutes. Taste for flavour balance. If you are happy with it, then your mackerel sauce is ready.

FOR THE YAMARITA

  • Get a tuber of yam, peel the back and cut into long cuboid shapes.
