Ingredients
Vegetable (either spinach or spring green) Efo shook or tètè.
Locust beans(irú woro)
Palm oil
Ata Rodo(habanero pepper)
Tomatoes
Tatashe (red bell pepper)
Onions
Stock cubes (Knorr chicken)
Salt to taste
Blended cray fish
Beef
Pomo
Shaki
Smoked fish.
PREPARATION
*Cut and wash the vegetables in warm water with small pinch of salt to get rid of dirts, sand and germs. And drain from water with sieve.
*Spice and boil beef, shaki and pomo till tender...allow it to cook till the stock/broth is very little and thick.
*Blend tomato, pepper and 1 ball of Onion: don't blend it smoothly, let there be small bits.
*Heat up palm oil and bleach just a little, add half a bulb of onion when bleaching, this adds flavour .When bleached slightly, take out the onion, turn off cooker and allow to cool just a bit.
When the oil has cooled a bit, turn on the cooker and add chopped onion till onion is soft and transparent .
*Pour the blended pepper into the pot of oil, allow to cook for 10 minutes then add the washed smoked fish first. Later add 2cubes of Knorr chicken, salt to taste, Pomo, shaki, blended crayfish, iru and allow to cook. You can choose to cover the pot or not.
Make sure you stir the contents often so that it does not burn.
*After about 10 minutes, depending on the quantity of the the pepper, it should be dry (frying instead of boiling), continue to stir for 2 minutes.
*Make sure vegetable is washed properly! Nothing more annoying that tasting sand and stone in soup.
Taste for salt, and add more if it's not tasty enough...
Serve with Rice, Eba, Semo, Yam, Pounded Yam, Eko, Fufu.
