Notes, tips, and variations

[edit | edit source]
  • The chile-tomato purée is a product commonly available in Nigerian supermarkets. It consists of puréed tomato and chile pepper, sometimes with onion and/or red bell pepper added. It may also be called something like "tomato stew mix", "tomato mix", "tomato and pepper mix", or ata lilo. You can make it yourself at home by puréeing the ingredients together and simmering to reduce it slightly, though you will have to determine the ratios yourself. One place to start is 40% tomato + 30% bell pepper + 20% onion + 10% scotch bonnet chile,[1] but other recipes do exist.[2]
