ASARO (YAM AND PLANTAIN CURRY)



Asaro (Yam and Plantain Curry) image

This recipe is an adaptation of asaro, the Yoruba word for a dish of starchy root vegetables simmered in a seasoned tomato- and chile-based sauce. Regional versions of asaro are served all year round across the south of Nigeria and in other parts of West Africa. Traditionally, the dish is made with the West African yam, but you can also use white or purple taro root or unripe plantains. Here, firm, green plantains are combined with white yams in a sauce rich with caramelized shallots, garlic and ginger. There is a slight but welcome heat from a single red habanero dropped in whole to infuse the stew. Coconut milk and an optional spoonful of red palm oil - a floral, slightly smoky oil that is pressed from the fruit of oil palm trees - round out the flavors, and hearty greens cut the richness. Serve topped with crunchy shallots, fresh herbs and a wedge of lime.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
4 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 (2- to 3-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated (about 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 whole red habanero or Scotch bonnet chile, pierced all over with a knife
1 (14-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with their juices
1 1/2 pounds white or orange yams, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 green (unripe) plantains (about 1 pound total), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon red palm oil (optional)
4 cups julienned hearty greens, such as dandelion greens, collards or lacinato kale, tough stems removed
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 lime, sliced into wedges for squeezing

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot, large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium. Pour in the neutral oil, add the sliced shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove shallots from the oil and allow to drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil out of the pot. (Reserve extra oil for another use.) Over medium-low heat, add the garlic, ginger and turmeric to the pot and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 2 minutes or until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Drop in the chile and add the whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, crushing the whole tomatoes with your hands as they go in. Stir to combine ingredients and dissolve the tomato paste, then add 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, season with salt, reduce heat to medium, add the yams and simmer until the yams are just beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the plantains and cook until both are tender but hold their shape, and the liquid is slightly reduced and thickened, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and red palm oil, if using, season with more salt and let simmer for another 10 minutes. Add the greens and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To serve, remove and discard the cooked chile. Ladle the curry into bowls, top with the caramelized shallots, a scattering of basil and cilantro, and several squeezes of lime juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes and plantains: For the best results, use firm, starchy potatoes such as russet or Yukon Gold. For the plantains, choose ones that are ripe but still firm, with a yellow or black skin.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • Adjust the heat to your liking: This curry can be made as mild or spicy as you like. If you prefer a mild curry, use less chili powder. If you like it spicy, add more.

Conclusion:

Potato and plantain curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and plantains, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. This dish can be served with rice, roti, or naan bread.
