Ikokore
Ikokore or Ifokore is a water yam pottage or porridge dish among the Yoruba people, popular among the Ijebu.[1][2] It is made from Dioscorea alata, called Isu Ewura in Yoruba, grated and cooked with ingredients like peppers, onions, and spices.[3][4] A lot of proteins are usually incorporated into Ikokore. Ikokore can be eaten on its own or served with cold eba (eba tutu).[5]
