Happy new year to my great people and to my great community plant power vagan I greet you all.
Today I made our local delicacy we call it ONU here in Nigeria and another name for ONU is three leaf yam. This our local food is very sweet and proteinous in nature.
It also has a natural sugar and starch which makes people love it.
My husband loves eating it anything am traveling to my village my husband must ask me to bring it for him. My mother in the other hand must give me three leaf yam to give to my husband because she knows that my husband loves eating it.
This season is the season of harvest and my mother just finished harvesting her three leave yam and we traveled to the village for Christmas my aim is to eat my three leaf yam once I arrive to village, my husband was in a hurry to go back to base my mother now promise my husband that I will bring his own when coming back.
I made this one now for me and my siblings because my mother has the largest three leaf yam farm here in my village.
INGREDIENTS USED
12 piece of three leaf yam
1/2 cup of Red oil
1 medium Onion

This NGO will make my red oil to be thick.
