Ayamase (Ofada Sauce)

Plates of Joy Ayamase (Ofada Sauce) is a celebration of bold flavors and rich cultural heritage, crafted to bring the authentic taste of Nigeria to your table. Known as the “designer stew,” this vibrant and aromatic sauce is a staple of Yoruba cuisine and pairs perfectly with our premium Ofada rice.

The Sauce:
Ayamase is a green bell pepper-based sauce enriched with a unique blend of spices, locally sourced ingredients, and a touch of traditional palm oil. Its signature color and bold, smoky flavor come from the perfect harmony of these carefully selected components.

The Protein:
Our Ayamase is loaded with assorted meats, including tender beef, goat meat, eggs, fish, and succulent tripe, all perfectly seasoned and slow-cooked to absorb the sauce’s rich flavors.

The Heat:
Infused with Scotch bonnet peppers, Ayamase delivers a delightful kick of spice, balanced with the earthy sweetness of green peppers. For those new to spice, we can tailor the heat to your preference without compromising its authentic flavor.
