Recipe for making Ikokore:
Ingredients
Water Yam
Beef ( small chunks)
Smoked Fish
Smoked Prawns
Palm Oil
Effirin
Dried Pepper to taste
Seasoning to taste
Salt to taste


Method
1....Peel, wash and grate the water yam, add a little salt and mix
2....Season and steam the meat with onion, pepper, salt and beef seasoning
3....When meat is cooked add the smoked fish, prawns and correct seasoning, some more water and cook for about 3 minutes.
4 ...Add the oil and cook for 5 minutes.
5....Using you hand drop the water yam paste in small ball into the pot. Make sure to leave space between the balls to give enough room for the stock to boil up and cook the water yam
6...Reduce the flame to very low to allow the water yam balls cook through. Do not stir immediately . If need be rock or shake the pot to free the water yam to cook. When the cooked balls are translucent And the sauce thickens. Takes about 15 minutes to cook though.
7...When the balls are set on the out side you may use a wooden spoon to stir the pottage to avoid squashing the balls.
8....Taste for salt , add the Effirin , cook for 2 minutes and your pottage is ready

*I have some questions...

-I googled the water yam and it looks like Cassava....is it another tpe of Cassava?

-What is Effirin?

-Is this what they call Asaro?
