Spiced and stewed in a flavorful tomato broth, it is everything from "everyday" to celebration. The classic version is cooked with long-grain rice and seasoned with Nigerian-style curry powder and dried thyme. Served with fried, ripe plantains, which we call, dodo and coleslaw, it is everything. Note that the world might consider this a side but in Nigeria, it is the main. :)
