Ukodo

Ukodo is a yam and unripe plantain dish of the Urhobo people of Nigeria. It is essentially a pottage, a soup of meat and vegetable with its base as the Nigerian pepper soup. It is usually used for marriage and burial ceremonies or as breakfast, particularly during the cold season. ^[1]

It is sometimes cooked with lemon grass and potash.^[2] A poem by the Nigerian Chovwe Inisiagho-Ogbe describes both the ingredients and the process of cooking Ukodo in a light-hearted way.^[2]
