MIH founder Sarah Bentley created this tomato sauce for her little boy as a way of packing nourishment into him during a very selective eating phase. It's full of goodness and concealed veggies and lentils - but once it's all blended up - it just tastes like sweet, simple tomato sauce. Make batches of it for your freezer and use as a base for pizzas, pasta sauces or anything else! Photography by Heather Ford from Unsplash

Jump to end of the recipe for the link to the book - you won't regret it. Egusi is commonly consumed across Nigeria. The main ingredient in Ofe Egusi is the melon seed known as egusi. This is roasted and ground before use. Egusi is healthy and rich in multiple nutrients such as Vitamin-B1, B2, B6,B9,Protain ,manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc. However, it is rich in omega -6 fatty acids, which must be consumed in moderation to gain benefits; apparently too much consumption of omega -6 fatty acids may become counterproductive on one’s health. As egusi is high in fat it is best cooked with little oil of choice.
