Porridge Yams aka Potash, Asaro – An easy one-pot meal, made with yams and leafy greens enjoyed throughout West Africa also known as Sese Yams in Cameroon.

A more traditional way of making this is to include  smoked/dried fish. Dried Fish is sometimes hard to come by and is pricey too, that is if you live abroad. A great substitute is smoked turkey.
