If you saw the now viral video of a man preparing what he describes as Nigerian beef stew but couldn’t be more different then you understand why we had to bring the real life recipe to you.
Stew is a staple Nigerian dish but what makes it different is usually the protein added to it. Fish, beef, chicken, or turkey are just some of the proteins that can be added to a typical Nigerian stew.

Nigerian stew can be enjoyed with rice, spaghetti and even swallows like eba (as long as you add some vegetables or okra to the mix.)
