Garden egg sauce made easy!

If there’s any sauce that first won my heart as a child it was Garden egg sauce. My sweet Mum is so good at preparing it that everytime we wanted to eat yam I would beg her to make garden egg sauce with it. 

I got old enough to cook and I love to use simple methods in cooking, my Mum’s method or let me say the general method used in cooking this sauce to me was a Long process and I felt the garden egg would have lost most of its nutrients before it gets to your stomach. So I came up with this method… Let’s call it the Grate method….lol. all you need to do is to grate, yes I said grate. No need to boil first and then start mashing the garden eggs. 

Sweetheart I can’t wait to teach you, Now let’s get started.

I medium onion 

5 chili  pepper 

2 tomatoes

4. When the pepper is well fried, add the grated garden egg and fry, add seasoning and salt to taste.

5. Now that the garden egg is well fried, add the ground crayfish and grated carrots and a little water if it looks as if it wants to start burning. Allow to fry for half a minute more before turning off the heat.
