CARROT STEW!!!

    I was inspired by my Ghanaian male friend(Sadat) to try out this recipe, This among many of his numerous dish is one of my favorite. I felt challenged to try this meal out, after watching how effortless he made this meal in his kitchen ( some guys can cook sha..). Nevertheless, I made my own twist to the recipe by making it a lot more spicy (winks). This meal has a lot of nutritive benefits as the vitamin A in carrot is activated, which helps improves vision and protects the skin from damage by fighting against aging factors, infections and even cancer. Carrot is also said to reduce cholesterol level, protects teeth and gums and also prevent stroke (so many nutritive value right?).

  

If one root vegetable can do so much, why not incorporate it into our meals? without saying much , let us get cooking, shall we? (smiles).

Yield : About 8 servings

Ingredients
