Ingredients
- 1 yam
- 4 large eggs
- 5 medium plum tomatoes (you can use tin tomato paste)
- 2 green beans, chopped
- 1 medium green bell peppers, chopped
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- Garlic, ginger and curry to taste
- 1 seasoning stock cube
- Salt to taste
- 2 scotch bonnet peppers, chopped (dried peppers)

- Reduce the heat to medium and start frying onions and garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add the diced tomatoes, green beans and peppers and stir to combine with the onions
- Don’t add green peppers yet because they are tender; cover the pan and leave the content to cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add green peppers and stir to combine. Season the sauce with one seasoning cube, thyme, curry and ginger and still stir.
- Taste for salt and add if needed, stir the sauce constantly so that it doesn’t burn.
- Leave it to cooks for 5 minutes
- Once all the ingredients are well mixed and the tomato is well cooked, whisk egg and pour into the content in circular motion to spread evenly.
- Let the egg set for 2 minutes while on a medium heat before you stir, you want the egg to form lumps in the sauce instead of looking mushy and flat.
- Stir the tomato egg sauce and try breaking some of the egg chunks, take it off from heat and serve with any staple food of your choice
- Steps on how to make egg sauce:
- Slice yam into 1 inch size and peel the skin off.
- Rinse in clean water till water runs clear and no residue in water.
- Put yam in a pan, add enough water to cover it, add salt and place on a medium heat and cook till soft. Test with a fork, if it goes through, then the yam should be soft enough.
- Drain water from yam if you want.
