seriously there is a better way i dont over cook my stew which still give it the taste i want i dont like rodo so i only use plenty tomatoes, tatase and plenty onions method one: now, when you grind it dont let the water be too much, about my meat or chicken, i make sure i dont put much water to boil it so that the water will dry with it, if i need to add water, i add it at interval to make the meat/chicken boil very well. because i discovered when you have too much water in your meat or chicken you will want to add it to your soup to have chicken/meat taste. well you can pour it away. this way you will not much water in your soup/stew method 2: as bachelor, after the grinding the pepper, i make sure i wash the meat or chicken well and i add everything together. the pepper, the chicken/meat and cook it. it will turn out well, you cant tell the difference. note: you can also put tomato paste (tin or sachet) for fish i always cook it together i like spices, curry and thyme but less seasoning save time and energy and use gas cooker(i always pray that the gas dont finish at night or Saturday night) |

Tomato stew? I thought stew had other ingredients. No one has shared this stew recipe with me. The author says all the nutrients are depleted through cooking. I would put it over rice, or cook less. |

Use a wider pot to steam the tomatoes. It should not take more than 45 minutes to dry. I agree that the nutrients are non existent by the time you are done but you can always throw kale in at the last minute. I love my kale almost raw and they pack more nutrients than any raw tomato can. So cook your stew the Nigerian way but add vegetables and don't cook it for long after you add veggies. |

When you boil your tomatoes, it reduces acidity. Acidity can be reduced also by using very riped tomato in your cooking. My mom don't boil hers unless during Christmas when she buys in bulk. |

OP is right tho Over boiling tomatoes renders it almost useless Tha carotene is gone The vitamin A and C are denatured. Nutrition wise over cooking fruits and vegetables is so not the way But then everyone likes the taste when they are overcooked. What we are after here in naija na sweet food.
