5 Seasonal Recipes for June

1. Okra Stew with Banku

A classic for a reason. Slice fresh okra into rounds, simmer with palm oil, onions, and smoked fish. Serve with banku.

Tip: Use okra harvested within the last 48 hours for the best texture.

2. Grilled Garden Eggs with Shito

Slice garden eggs in half, grill until charred, and top with a spoonful of homemade shito. The smoky flavour pairs perfectly with the earthy garden egg.

3. Pepper Sauce (Shito)

Blend fresh red peppers, ginger, garlic, and onions. Fry slowly in palm oil until dark and rich. This keeps for weeks in the fridge.

4. Avocado and Tomato Salad

Slice ripe avocado and fresh tomatoes. Drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle with ground pepper and a pinch of salt. Simple and refreshing.

5. Kontomire Stew

Steam fresh kontomire leaves, blend with peppers, palm oil, and smoked fish. Serve with rice or yam.
