How to make Stuffed Onion Yam Rings
Instructions
Cook the yam until tender, then mash it thoroughly.
In a bowl, combine the mashed yam with paprika, ginger, garlic, curry, seasoning xube, black pepper, cumin powder, onga seasoning, grated onions, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, and sardines. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Carefully stuff the yam mixture into the onion rings, ensuring they are filled evenly.
Prepare a coating station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
Coat each stuffed onion ring with flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring full coverage.
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the stuffed onion yam rings immediately and enjoy.
