A true legacy of Yoruba cuisine from Ogun State, this iconic Ofada Rice with Sauce and Plantain is the definitive bowl-and-side meal, built on bold, unforgettable flavour. This portion contains 1 Plate of this deeply satisfying combo.

The short-grain Ofada Rice is prepared to its unique, firm texture. The accompanying Ofada Sauce (Ayamase) is rich with palm oil, green peppers, and the potent flavour of Iru (locust beans). The sauce is generously packed with boiled eggs, crayfish, stockfish, assorted offals, tender ponmo, and succulent snails, which infuse it with deep, complex richness. This is perfectly complemented by a side of sweet, golden Fried Plantain (Dodo). The plate is vibrant, showcasing the deep colours of the sauce and the rustic grain.

The taste is unique and unforgettable, with the pungent sauce providing a powerful kick that is beautifully tempered by the sweetness of the plantain and the nutty rice.

The meal is exceptionally nourishing: the rice provides sustained energy and fibre, the plantain adds potassium, and the rich pepper sauce supplies essential protein, minerals, and vitamins which combat free radicals, boost the immune system, and aid in the maintenance of healthy tissues.
