Ofada Spice

Description

Ofada Spice (Ayamase/Designer Stew Seasoning)

Ofada Spice is a rich, aromatic blend used to make the signature pepper sauce that accompanies Nigerian Ofada rice. It brings out deep, smoky flavors and traditional Yoruba-style heat in every bite.

Key Ingredients:

• Locust Beans (Iru) – Adds strong fermented, umami flavor.

• Ground Pepper Mix – Usually green bell pepper, habanero, and sometimes tatashe.

• Dried Crayfish Powder – Enhances richness and aroma.

• Bouillon and Seasoning Blends – For deep, meaty taste.

• Smoked Fish or Meat Flavor Notes – For that signature “buka” taste.

Usage:

Use this spice blend when frying pepper mix in palm oil (often bleached). Add meats like assorted beef, ponmo, and offals for a rich, thick sauce. Pairs perfectly with Ofada or local rice.
