About Nigerian stew

Nigerian Stew is a flavorful and versatile dish central to Nigerian cuisine, known for its rich and hearty taste. Typically made with a base of blended tomatoes, red bell peppers, onions, and chili peppers, it is cooked with palm oil or vegetable oil and seasoned with spices like thyme, curry, and bouillon. Proteins such as chicken, beef, goat, or fish are often added, alongside options like crayfish or shrimp for extra depth. Packed with vitamins A and C from the peppers and tomatoes, the stew offers antioxidants and immune-boosting benefits. It is often paired with staples like rice, yam, or plantains. However, its healthiness depends on preparation methods – using lean proteins and reducing oil can make it a more balanced option. High in flavor and nutrients, Nigerian Stew is a comforting dish celebrated for its vibrant taste and cultural significance.
