OBE ATA

Fresh tomatoes and pepper i;e atarodo & tatase
Meat/Chicken/Fish
Palm oil or vegetable oil, whichever you like
magi cubes
onions
Salt
Seasoning
Water
  1. Place the meat in a pot, add very little water (most meat produces water as it cooks), dice one onion in with the meat, add some salt, seasoning and cook the meat until it is almost tender.
  2. If you are using fresh ingredients, grind the tomatoes and the peppers together with onion.
  3. Pour the vegetable or palm oil into a pot already on fire and add the blended tomato mixture and allow to cook for at least 20 minutes. You may then add the boiled meat or chicken, but if you are using fish, you need not pre cook it because of the tender nature of fish so that all the nutrient is not lost in the process of cooking.
  4. Allow to cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Taste for salt and add seasoning.

Obe ata can be eaten with either amala, garri, fufu or even pounded yam and rice
