    Dear Nky, I appreciate this your recipe and I do hope to try it someday. During my undergraduate days and even now as a bachelor, I make use of grinded pepper, tomato paste, salt, palm oil and ginger powder. This is how I do it: I mix the tomato paste, grinded pepper, salt and ginger powder together with a little water to form a paste. Then I slice (not chop) my onions. I heat up (not bleach) my palm oil in a pot, then i add the above mixture after which i add my sliced onions. I stir at intervals to prevent burning. I put off the heat when the onions begin to turn brown.N.B: Bleaching destroys most of the nutrients in palm oil. The sliced onions serve as an indicator when the stew is done because the onions will only begin to fry when the stew is dried up. That is also when the ewa agoyin stew aroma comes out.
