COOKING DIRECTIONS:
1. Pour enough water to cover the yam cubes and start cooking at medium to high heat. If you are using dry fish, add it now.
2. When the yams have got a good boil, add the onions, ground crayfish, pepper, stock cubes, palm oil and the smoked fish.
Cover the pot and continue cooking till the yam is done.
3. Add salt to taste and stir very well. Cook at high heat for about 5 minutes.
Add the green vegetable, stir and leave to stand for about 5 minutes then serve.
Yam pottage is usually eaten alone but you can serve it with Fried Plantain if desired.
