Preparation
- Blend your water yam till almost smooth.
- Add seasoning or salt, crayfish and mix together. Then set aside.
- Blend the Shombo/Tatashe and scotch bonnet until smooth and set aside. If you are using the scotch bonnet just blend it on its own.
- Heat your pot and when is hot, add the palm oil, then the locust beans (iru).
- Add the blended pepper, then your seasoning and salt to taste.
- Stir every now and then. Add your seasoning and salt to taste.
- Add the chicken/beef stock if you’re using any, if you haven’t got stock, just add water and continue to cook for two minutes.
- Now, scoop the grated yam into the stew, in both big and small lumps. The small lumps will dissolve in the stew, forming a mushy type consistency while the bigger lumps will create the lumpy Ikokore consistency. Do not stir, leave the contents to boil for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
- Stir a bit using a wooden spoon. Stir and break up clumps if you find it too clumpy or leave as it is. Now, taste for salt and seasoning.
- Add your already cooked fish and everything meaty. Leave to simmer for 3-5 minutes and it’s ready. To enjoy your Ikokore you can eat it with cold Eba.
