Asaro, also known as yam porridge, is one of those meals that instantly feels like comfort. Made with soft yam chunks simmered in a rich pepper base, palm oil, and traditional spices, the yam slowly breaks down to create a thick, velvety sauce that’s both hearty and flavorful. Each spoonful carries the smokiness of palm oil, the sweetness of yam, and just the right kick from the peppers—perfectly balanced and soul-warming.

Served plain or with extras like plantain, vegetables, fish, or meat, Asaro is that beloved Nigerian dish that feels like a hug from home—simple, wholesome, and always satisfying.
