Egusi soup is a popular soup in Nigeria. The egusi is gotten from melon seeds, it can be eaten with any kind of swallow (Eba, Pounded yam, fufu, plantain, wheat, semolina etc).
Ingredients:
Palm oil
Egusi
Crayfish
Dry fish
Fresh tomato
Fresh pepper
Onions
Seasoning
Shaki (Tripe)
Egu Leaves
Pomo (Cow skin)
and salt to taste. Let's get started, shall we?
Directions
To begin, wash your shaki, beef and pomo, season (to taste) it and start cooking for about fourty minutes (i like my shaki very soft).
While it is cooking, soak the dry fish for about five minutes, take out the water and debone, wash again and set aside.
optional: you can add stockfish if you want.
Wash your tomatoes, onions, pepper, and blend. Pour some palm oil in the pot and add the blended tomatoes. Add the meat stock and onions to the egusi and mix well. Add the egusi to the tomato and stir, then add the shaki to the mixture.
Add crayfish/seasoning (to taste) and stir.
Yes, my yam is on the fire as you can see in the video.
As seen in the video below.
The next stage is to add the stock and stir, look at how beautiful it looks. While the egusi is on the fire I think its time to pound the yam.
It's time to add the ugu leaves as seen in the video below, stir and allow the egusi to cook well for few minutes before bringing down.
The pounded yam is ready!
Dinner is served. Enjoy!
Thank you, Enjoy the rest of your day.
