About Miyan Taushe
Lois presents miyan taushe as a northern Nigerian pumpkin stew associated with Hausa and Fulani cooking. Her goat-meat rendition combines pumpkin and roasted peanuts with spinach and sorrel.
Pumpkin gives the stew body and sweetness, while peanuts add a slightly grainy richness. Tomato, onion, peppers and palm oil support the sauce; dried crayfish and shrimp bouillon contribute savoury seafood seasoning.
The finished stew is served hot. Tuwo shinkafa, a soft rice preparation, is an offered accompaniment whose plain, cohesive texture sits alongside the substantial pumpkin sauce, leafy vegetables and pieces of goat.
