A lush, spicy vegetable stew from the Yoruba kitchen. Fresh spinach (or local greens) are stewed with blended peppers, tomatoes and onions in palm oil, sometimes spiked with a hint of fermented locust beans. The result is a deeply savory, emerald-green stew with a major “wallop of flavor”. Efo Riro is beloved in Nigerian homes; its bold, smoky-spicy taste perfectly complements any swallow or rice, and every aroma-filled spoonful feels like home.
