Have you ever longed for a particular food for what seems like forever? grin
I was in a situation where all I have to eat is a non Nigerian meal, until I set out to change that. Below is the achievement.

Items for the soup.
1. Meat. Made up of beef, cow foot, gizzard and goat meat.
2. Dried fish
3. Dried Prawns
4. Ogbono

Now to the business of the day, I know goat meat takes longer to get soft, so also the cow foot. so I steamed them separately.

Step 1. Steaming goat meat
Step 2. Steaming cow foot
Step 3. Added the beef, then later the gizzard into the pot steaming the goat meat.
Step 4. Then I add the cow foot to the pot containing the beef, gizzard and goat meat, so that they all have the same flavour.

Step 5. Add the quantity of water as desired into the steaming pot, add pepper, maggi and salt
Step 6. Now Oil
Step 7. I kept the dried fish and prawns in a bowl containing hot water, before adding it to the steaming pot.
Step 8. There was only about 9 prawns in the sachet, since I wanted the prawns for its flavour, I decided to blend the head of the prawns instead of throwing it away. cheesy

Wow . yours is different but nice



this is how I do mine. I boil the titus fish . After the fish I ready, I bleach the palm oil a little. Just for 2srconds then pour the powdered ogbono into the hot oil, add the fish water and then leave it to cook. While it's cooking I dice the fish into it, stirr it and once its ready. That's all

If you look at the soup after adding Okro, you will notice it looks as if there is no oil. That is to say, you need to add a little oil next time.

Finally, Vegetable is very important. Pumpkin is necessary.



You tried. I will rate your cook 90/100

I remember the day I first (and last) cooked this soup as a university student... The thing just didn't form a draw soup after all the procedures I followed - it was watery... I just sieved the pot off the meat and fish and threw the soup away. #NoTime
