Stew

A great Nigerian stew cannot be rushed. At The Treasure Pop, we follow the traditional method of “bleaching” the oil slightly before slow-frying our blended pepper base for hours. This process removes the tartness of the tomatoes and replaces it with a mellow, savory sweetness and a rich texture that clings perfectly to rice, yam, or swallow.

Choose Your Treasure:

• Plain Stew: The perfect canvas. Use it to pair with your own proteins at home or as a base for Jollof and pasta.

• Chicken Stew: Features succulent, seasoned chicken pieces that have been fried or grilled before being tucked into the sauce.

• Fish Stew: Delicate yet flavorful, using fried fish steaks that soak up the spicy tomato oils.

• Assorted Meat Stew: The ultimate variety—tender tripe, pomo, and beef chunks for a textured, hearty experience.

• Beef Stew: Classic, tender chunks of beef slow-cooked until they are “stew-soft” and flavorful.

Quantity: Available in 2-Litre and 4-Litre large-format bowls. Note: Our stews are prepared at a Medium-Hot spice level by default. If you require a milder or extra-spicy version, please let us know in the order notes.

• The Base: Red Bell Peppers (Tatashe), Tomatoes, Onions, Scotch Bonnet (Atarodo), and Tomato Paste.

Storage & Reheating

• Storage: Keep refrigerated (0-5°C) for up to 5 days. This stew is extremely freezer-friendly and can be stored for up to 3 months.
