My number one Nigerian comfort food is Ukwa cooked with very few ingredients with a lot of broth to sip while eating the meal. This basic way of preparing Ukwa takes me back to my long vacation stays with my late grandmother. This simple but flavourful meal reminds me of my childhood spent close to nature, with a drizzle on the tin roofs. This meal is heartwarming even when I as much as perceive the aroma of this special meal. It is very close to my heart and nothing will make me stop eating it.
Watch the video below (click here) for how to prepare it the way I like it.
