A Nigerian chef has provided a solution to solve the high cost of tomatoes by making a full pot of stew with cucumber.
The video which she shared on her Instagram page @gazkitchen_ captured the step-by-step process she went through to prepare the delicacies.
She started by removing the seeds from the cucumber, then went on to peel off the back of the bitter ones after tasting them.
Then she blended the cucumber bits and gently squeezed out the water, leaving the rest of the products which already a paste.
To conclude her cooking, she went on to use the cucumber mixture as the tomato paste in preparing her stew.
The chef had prepared this to ensure that Nigerians don’t have to break a bank when they want to prepare stew.
She also revealed via her caption that all the cucumber she used in making the stew cost her only N1,200.
