Spaghetti is a popular pasta dish that can be served with a variety of sauces and stews. In Nigeria, spaghetti is often served with a delicious vegetable stew called eforiro and a flavorful tomato-based sauce. Adding fish and ponmo, which is cow skin, to the dish provides additional protein and flavor.
To make the dish, the spaghetti is boiled in salted water until it is al dente. Meanwhile, the eforiro stew is prepared by blending spinach or other leafy vegetables with onions, peppers, crayfish, and other spices. The stew is then heated in a pot with oil until it is fragrant.
The tomato-based sauce is prepared by sautéing onions and garlic in oil until they are translucent. Tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables are then added to the pot and cooked until they are soft. The sauce is seasoned with spices and herbs, such as thyme, oregano, and bay leaves, to add flavor.
Fish and ponmo are prepared separately by seasoning with salt, pepper, and other spices before frying until they are crispy and golden brown. Once everything is ready, the spaghetti is drained and mixed with the eforiro and sauce in a large serving dish. The fish and ponmo are placed on top of the dish as a garnish.
The combination of spaghetti, eforiro, sauce, fish, and ponmo creates a delicious and nutritious meal that is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is a perfect dish for lunch or dinner and can be enjoyed with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
