Authentic Ofada Stew, also known as Ayamase, is a bold and flavorful Nigerian sauce made with green peppers, assorted meats, boiled eggs, and traditional palm oil. Rich, spicy, and deeply savory, this beloved Yoruba delicacy is typically served with Ofada rice but pairs beautifully with white rice or boiled yam.
