Nigerian Rice and Stew

Here’s a Nigerian dish I enjoyed eating a lot growing up. There are various ways Nigerian mothers would make their rice and stew dish. This is just a very basic way of doing it. If you’re a fan of tomato stews or you really love tomatoes, this dish is for you. It’s very delicious and something you will definitely enjoy cooking and eating.
