Thanks for your input @ Idowu. You can ground both the pepper and seeds when are using just the yoruba pepper species. but then it would be very pepperish. The recipe here used the regular green pepper which helped in terminating souredness and ultimately guaranteed a delicious sauce. 😉

Good morning and thank you for wonderful job you’re doing. I’ve enjoyed receiving your mails since I subscribed.
I want to add a comment regarding the ingredients.
You mentioned that the seeds in the pepper should be removed.
In my native Ogun state (the origin of Ofada stew),the seeds are not removed before grinding the pepper. In fact,it is ground with the local grinding stone (things have changed though)
Generally, yorubas don’t remove seeds from pepper before grinding. I don’t think it has any known side effects.
Continue the good work you’re doing.
God bless you.

I’m really going to try it out, my fear is that it will not be peppery as we (my kids & I) hardly take pepper. Thank you all the same.

Its nice. Ofada rice origin came from ijebu. And the peppers used there is unripe tomatoes, unripe rodo(bell pepper) and you can add unripe tatase too withe plenty onion.and add what we call iru(dadawa).All blended half way with your blenda at home. you can also mix your oil.70% ground nut oil to 30% palm oil.I assure you to get an awesome result.Not forgetting your diced assorted meats.

Thanks for the ofada rice recipe. I have tried severally to achieve this with just tomatoes and onions. I don’t know green pepper should be in it. Is there anywhere to buy iru in cross river state? Pls reply.
