Tomato is undoubtedly the most popular base used in the preparation of some of the best meals here in Nigeria especially when it comes to making a tasty and decent stew. But quite recently, due to the sudden rise in the price of tomato, it’s use has been cut down drastically to save cost in most homes. So instead of spending twice the amount you’d spend normally on tomatoes, i’ve compiled a list of stews, soups and sauces which do not require tomatoes. Without further ado…here’s the list
