Now to prepare this Buka stew
* Add  the pepper, tomatoes and one onion in a blender and blend(you can also make use of canned stewed tomatoes if you don’t have fresh tomatoes)…make sure to add little water as you blend, but if you end up with a watery mixture, simply add it to a pot and boil to remove excess liquid.

* Next, place  a pot on medium heat , pour in the Palm oil , heat it up until is very hot(but not smoking), then add the meat and fry until dry. Then take them out and set aside.

*  Now add an onion(shredded) into the hot oil, fry a bit and then add the blended tomato & pepper mix.  Cook until the mixture loses its sour taste, or until you begin to see the oil rise to the top.

*  Next , add the garlic powder, bouillon cubes (maggi /knorr cubes) , ground crayfish and salt to taste.You can also add more seasoning if you like to.   Mix thoroughly, cover and leave to cook for 2 minutes.

    And no water is added too? I tried this once without water and the stew was all clogged up!

      Hi Damilare, if you make use of fresh tomatoes, the stew won't ''clog up'', but you can always add a little liquid if your stew turns out too thick for your preference.

    Hi hi! Thanks so much for this! But one question pls. The palm oil, it will turn to groundnut oil if you are using it to fry the meat. Can't I fry the meat with groundnut oil and heat up the palm oil for cooking the stew. Just to be sure. God bless ya

      Hi dear,You can fry the meat separately with vegetable oil, but make sure that you heat up the palm oil until it starts to smoke. This gives the stew a unique taste.

      No meat stock is used in obe ata dindin . You can save your meat stock and use it for other recipes.
