EFO RIRO WITH KALE AND WHITEFISH



Efo Riro With Kale and Whitefish image

When Kemi Seriki, a home cook in NYC, taught us how to make this Nigerian dish of stewed greens, she packed a week's worth of spices into the pot-some traditional, some less so. We pared the ingredients but kept the essence of Seriki's stew: the bold chile heat, pleasant funk of fermented locust beans, and dried shrimp of her native Nigeria and the new world flavors like Old Bay she uses in her cooking today.

Provided by Kemi Seriki

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 medium onion, quartered through root end
3 plum tomatoes, quartered
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into large pieces
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile
4 garlic cloves
2 Tbsp. dried bitter leaf
4 skinless tilapia or other whitefish fillets (about 1⅔lb. total), cut into 2" pieces
4 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 1 cup)
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. double-concentrated tomato paste
2 tsp. dried thyme
1½ tsp. garam masala
½ tsp. ground turmeric
1 cube Maggi shrimp or chicken bouillon
3 Tbsp. dried shrimp, rinsed
4 tsp. powdered irú (dawadawa; fermented locust beans)
1 lb. (2 bunches) kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 2" pieces
Steamed puna yams or rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Purée onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, chile, and garlic in a blender, adding up to ¼ cup water as needed, until smooth. Set purée aside.
  • Place bitter leaf in a small bowl and pour in hot water to cover. Let sit until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and finely chop.
  • Meanwhile, toss fish with Old Bay seasoning in a large bowl to evenly coat. Pour vegetable oil into a large deep saucepan or medium Dutch oven to come ¼" up sides and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, arrange fish in a single layer and fry, turning halfway through, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Pour oil out from pan and wipe out. Heat olive oil in same saucepan over medium-high. Add tomato paste, thyme, garam masala, and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until spices are fragrant and tomato paste is slightly darkened in color, about 1 minute. Stir in reserved purée, scraping up any browned bits, then add bitter leaf, shrimp cube, dried shrimp, and irú. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat so stew is at a simmer and add kale by the handful, stir to wilt slightly before adding more. Once all of the kale has been added, cook (without stirring) until tender, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in fried fish, being careful not to break up too much.
  • Serve with yams or rice alongside.

  • Place a pot on medium heat, add rinsed beans, enough water to cook and add half of the chopped onions, and bring to boil until tender. This might take a while, but quicker if you have a pressure-cooking pot. Add water in between to avoid the beans drying out/ burning.
  • Once the beans are tender, reduce the heat or set aside. Place a clean/dry pan on medium high heat, pour in palm oil and leave to heat up for about 2-3 minutes, add the remaining chopped onions and continue frying till onion is transparent this should be for another 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the onions and avoid getting burned by the hot oil too (keep your kitchen well ventilated when doing this process. Remember you are not bleaching the oil, you are only frying to melt the palm oil to rid curdling in the mouth when eating and to also allow the onion flavour to be infused in the oil)
  • Add pepper mix, bouillon/Maggi, salt, dried fish and crayfish to the beans (check if you need to add water and adjust accordingly) stir till well combined.
  • Add the fried sauce to the cooked beans and stir again till all is combined. (check for salt and seasoning and adjust to preference)
