Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Chicken and eggplant soup (Nkakra); Ghanaian okra soup (Nkruma-nkwan); Ivory Coast pepper soup (Pepe-soupe)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute yams for sweet potatoes.

    I want to try this again with traditional yams, as the sweet potatoes were too soft and never got thick and sticky like I wanted. I also wonder if not having a wooden bowl made a difference. It was hard to get enough liquid out of the mash and really never came together. Definitely good served with stew, like African peanut stew.
