Warm greetings to vegan lovers and friends of this healthy living community. Hope we are you all doing good in health as we entered another month here πŸ₯°πŸ’•.

Its all to our benefits if we incorporate more of plant base in our meals and also endeavor to bring new recipes into our kitchen as it will help us to enjoy different meals throughout the week just like this vegetable πŸ₯— yam dish I prepared today to share with you.

How do you enjoy yam 🍠 as a dish in your country because in my country Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ yam is a rich staple that can be prepared in various ways with various ingredients. In fact, we celebrate πŸŽ‰ new yam festival every year around August the 8th month, and at this time usually, the yam is so young and not too sweet πŸ₯™. So it will take some months ahead for the yam to start drying and becomes sweeter and this is when many people like to enjoy yam in different recipes as a staple. Although at this very time it has become too expensive because many have stored it in their ban for selling.

And we can as well enjoy our yam tuber with lots of vegetables just like I did to with basil 🌿 leaves πŸƒ and spices, taking the dish to another level. This is the best way to enjoy yam at this time of the year making it rich and delicious enough to spark up our appetite

My mother frequently use to cook this vegetable yam dish for lunch πŸ₯— πŸ₯˜ before she departed, so its always a good memory for me anytime I cook this staple dish for family. And the good thing being that she never forces anyone to eat this meal because it tastes so delicious 🀀 on its own.
