Some housewives in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Sunday said they have ditched tomatoes for their stews and other sauces
The residents, who made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, said they have resorted to using garden eggplants and carrots in their stews.
Others said they were exploring pumpkin, pawpaw, or traditional soups like white soup and palm fruit soup popularly called banga soup in place of tomato stew. She said rice with stew was a regular on their menu, adding that “there is an unexplainable satisfaction that comes with taking cooked rice and stew.”
Amodu said, “Since tomatoes became very expensive, we decided to use garden egg for stew and it is as sweet as tomato stew.“We also use pumpkin stew with rice sometimes and although it has its unique taste, it blends well with rice.”
