Ingredients

• •2 lb white yam, peeled and cut into chunks
• •6 eggs
• •3 medium tomatoes, diced
• •1 red bell pepper, diced
• •1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• •1 fresh chili, minced
• •3 tbsp vegetable oil

1. 1Place the white yam in salted water and boil for 18–20 minutes until fork-tender.
2. 2Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil and cook onion, bell pepper, and chili for 5 minutes.
3. 3Add tomatoes, half the salt, and black pepper and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 6 minutes.
4. 4Beat the eggs with the remaining salt and pour them into the tomato mixture.
5. 5Fold the eggs gently until softly set, about 3 minutes.
