A literal translation from the Yoruba is "mixed greens" and while they are the star of this rich, fragrant vegetable stew, there's so much goodness besides: blended scotch bonnets, bell pepper, onions and locust beans. This is a classic Yoruba dish.It goes with everything.
Purists insist authentic efo riro must have efinrin (African spinach) and efo soko (Lagos spinach). Others say tomatoes are banned (to prevent sogginess). Some insist on palm oil over vegetable oil. All agree it's freakin' delicious.
