Tomato and Onion Sauce

Tomato and Onion Sauce is one of those versatile sauce you can eat with a bunch of side dish such as rice, ablo,  akassa, rice, attièkè,  yam, bread, etc. The uses are endless. That’s what I like the most about this sauce. It is easy to make, and unlike the common African meal, it takes just 15 min max to make.

Once you have your ingredients ready, you are good to go!
