Efo Riro

Efo riro is derived from the Yoruba language in Nigeria. Efo means ”Green leafy vegetable” or ”spinach”, and riro, means ”to stir”. So basically, Efo riro simply means ”stirred leafy vegetable”. However, we just don’t stir this by itself, we stir it in a rich pepper sauce which is loaded with Meat, Crayfish, Dry Fish, and other Meat or Fish of Choice.

Spinach leaves, blended scotch bonnets, bell pepper, onions, and locust beans are used to make this dish. To be served with solid staples such as pounded yam, amala, eba, and several forms of fufu. Assorted meats are included.
