With the soaring prices of fresh tomatoes, many Nigerians are seeking alternatives for preparing stew, sauce, and even jollof rice.
Fresh tomatoes are a key ingredient in making stew, a staple that accompanies white rice, boiled yam, plantain, and more. However, as tomatoes become increasingly unaffordable, Nigerians, particularly women, are exploring creative substitutes.
Want to make a delicious pot of stew without fresh tomatoes? Consider using cucumbers. This innovative alternative is gaining popularity, and Gaz Kitchen, a popular food vlogger demonstrates how to make cucumber stew in a video.
Gaz’s recipe incorporates tomato paste, onions, peppers, and of course, the star of the show – cucumbers – for added volume. While she uses chicken, feel free to customize the protein to your liking.
