Tomato is
undoubtedly the most popular base used in the preparation of some of the
best meals here in Nigeria especially when it comes to making a tasty
and decent stew. But quite recently, due to the sudden rise in the price
of tomato, it's use has been cut down drastically to save cost in most
homes. So instead of spending twice the amount you'd spend normally on
tomatoes, i've compiled a list of stews, soups and sauces which do not
require tomatoes. Without further ado...here's the list
