Foodies and Spice Shares Budget-Friendly Recipe: Kpomo Sauce with Fragrant Yellow Rice

This holiday season, cooking on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour, and Foodies and Spice is here to prove it with her delicious recipe for fragrant yellow rice paired with savoury kpomo sauce.

To prepare the rice, Foodies and Spice begins by sautéing onions in oil to bring out their natural sweetness. She then adds a blend of onions, ginger, and garlic paste along with a pinch of salt, cloves, and curry powder, letting the mixture cook until aromatic. Afterwards, washed rice is added and toasted in the spiced oil for a few minutes to absorb the rich flavours before water is added to cook it to perfection.

For the kpomo sauce, she slices red bell peppers and chives, and cuts the kpomo (cow skin) into bite-sized pieces. In a hot pan, she heats oil and adds salt, garlic, and onions, then stirs in a blended pepper and tomato paste mixture. After allowing it to cook for a few minutes, she adds the kpomo and lets it simmer until tender. The dish is finished with a fresh garnish of sliced chives and bell peppers, giving the sauce a vibrant, colourful touch.

This simple, flavorful dish shows that you can enjoy a festive, special meal without breaking the bank – perfect for Christmas or any occasion when you want a delicious meal on a budget.
