Red Stew is a hearty, flavorful dish originating from West African cuisine, particularly Nigeria and Ghana, where it is a staple comfort food. Made with a tomato-based sauce, it often includes ingredients such as blended tomatoes, red peppers, onions, and spices like ginger and garlic for depth of flavor. Proteins such as chicken, beef, or fish are commonly added, alongside palm oil for richness. Red Stew is typically served with rice, yams, or plantains, creating a balanced and satisfying meal. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein, vitamins from the vegetables, and healthy fats when prepared with moderation. However, the use of palm oil and high amounts of salt can increase its saturated fat and sodium content, which may be a concern for heart health if eaten excessively. Opting for less oil and fresh, lean proteins can make it a healthier choice while preserving its signature taste.
