A creamy one-pot yam porridge cooked with peppers, tomatoes, onions and a generous splash of red palm oil. Its bright red-orange color (nicknamed elepo re) comes from palm oil, and its aroma fills the kitchen with warmth. Each bite of tender yam and rich, slightly spicy sauce is deeply comforting. Asaro is a Yoruba favorite – earthy and slightly sweet – and it even stands alone as a full meal.
