Porridge Yam is Nigerian comfort food in its most honest form. Chunks of white yam are simmered in a savoury palm oil base with onions, pepper, crayfish and seasoning until the edges soften and thicken the sauce, then bits of fish are stirred through the pot.
The result sits somewhere between a stew and a mash, so every spoonful carries flavour rather than plain yam. Heat is mild to medium, warming rather than sharp, and the palm oil gives it that deep golden colour and aroma you can smell from the door.
