Nigerian Beef stew

Personally, If I don't have Nigerian stew (beef, chicken, fish or turkey) I believe I do not have food in the house. I can survive few days without stew but 4 days without stew and that's taking it too far..yes I love my Nigerian stew just like that. This recipe has been in my draft since October 2014 and I totally forgot it there like many others in my draft which I will be publishing soon. So today is the day i post this recipe.

By the way, I only realised this when Ebun came to dine at my restaurant and asked me for the stew recipe.

She, fellow food blogger and friend Phisayo and Funmi couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was..infact they called me witch on the day due to the fact of how on point everything they ate were! What did they expect though I don't just talk the talk or write the write on the blog..lol, I do the do! so if you want to experience a taste of K's Cuisine contact me but first let me warn you, you will keep coming back for more.
