ASARO (YAM AND PLANTAIN CURRY)
This recipe is an adaptation of asaro, the Yoruba word for a dish of starchy root vegetables simmered in a seasoned tomato- and chile-based sauce. Regional versions of asaro are served all year round across the south of Nigeria and in other parts of West Africa. Traditionally, the dish is made with the West African yam, but you can also use white or purple taro root or unripe plantains. Here, firm, green plantains are combined with white yams in a sauce rich with caramelized shallots, garlic and ginger. There is a slight but welcome heat from a single red habanero dropped in whole to infuse the stew. Coconut milk and an optional spoonful of red palm oil - a floral, slightly smoky oil that is pressed from the fruit of oil palm trees - round out the flavors, and hearty greens cut the richness. Serve topped with crunchy shallots, fresh herbs and a wedge of lime.

Steps:
- Heat a medium pot, large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium. Pour in the neutral oil, add the sliced shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove shallots from the oil and allow to drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Season with salt and set aside.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil out of the pot. (Reserve extra oil for another use.) Over medium-low heat, add the garlic, ginger and turmeric to the pot and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 2 minutes or until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Drop in the chile and add the whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, crushing the whole tomatoes with your hands as they go in. Stir to combine ingredients and dissolve the tomato paste, then add 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, season with salt, reduce heat to medium, add the yams and simmer until the yams are just beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the plantains and cook until both are tender but hold their shape, and the liquid is slightly reduced and thickened, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk and red palm oil, if using, season with more salt and let simmer for another 10 minutes. Add the greens and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To serve, remove and discard the cooked chile. Ladle the curry into bowls, top with the caramelized shallots, a scattering of basil and cilantro, and several squeezes of lime juice.
YAM AND PLANTAIN SCOOP
This recipe warms the heart of my big sister, Omolola. She insists that she can't make it like I can, but I reckon she just likes being pampered once in a while. Don't we all. Yam can be a little dry on its own but this mash is silky smooth, with the coconut giving it a richness.

Steps:
- Peel the yam, removing all the dark outer bark. Some tubers have woody bark running to the core in some areas. Remove it, preserving as much flesh as possible. Slice the yam into 3/4 inch discs, halve, then quarter. Put in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 8 minutes.
- Top and tail the plantain, then make a skin-deep incision along the spine. Peel and cut into 4 even pieces, crosswise. Add to the pan of simmering yam and leave for another 8 minutes. Add a little more warm water if the plantain and yam are not sufficiently covered.
- In the meantime, measure out the coconut oil and seasoning.
- Check if the yam is done by removing a piece and inserting a fork. If you can do so with relative ease, it's ready. Yam is robust and can withstand "overcooking," so don't worry if any pieces have boiled inconsistently. Check the plantain by removing one piece and halving it crosswise on a cutting board. You want each piece to be the same bright yellow as the outside through the cross section.
- When both yam and plantain are ready, drain in a colander and return them to the dry pan. Working quickly, add the coconut oil and mash thoroughly while hot. It usually takes 2 to 3 minutes to achieve a smooth consistency. Season with the salt and white pepper and mash one last time. I like to use a fork for this part.
- Ball with an ice cream scoop and serve immediately.

SPICY YAM CURRY
The yam in this (suran), is related to the sweet potato. However, that being said, do not look for a marshmallow topped, brown sugar filled concoction. This is definitely all curry, and is a bit spicy as well. Eat as a vegetarian main dish, or as a side dish to other recipes. If you cannot find suran, just substitute sweet potato or white potatoes. I am sure they would work well.
