Due to the ongoing protests in Nigeria, prices of most foodstuffs, especially tomatoes have doubled, if not tripled.

In some markets, tomatoes are scarce, including the fresh ones, because all roads for transportation of goods have been blocked. If you're chanced to see fresh tomatoes, you can purchase as high as #200 for four seeds or even less.

Don't panic, because I've discovered a good alternative to tomatoes. It is no other fruit than pawpaw.

Pawpaw also known as Papaya is a tropical fruit and it has great benefits to the body. It's both good for the eyes, skin and body. It's best eaten raw, because it gives more nutrients. So, before cutting the ones for your stew, make sure you've eaten a substantial amount raw to get the complete benefits.

Did you know that this fruit can be used in preparing delicious stew? Learn and cook it yourself.

Blend it and set aside.
