Bitter Leaf - how to cook it in a tasty way |
Re: Best Stew/soupe For Dried BITTER Leaf by eyzhvntsn: 3:08pm On Jul 20, 2010 |
With lots of egusi, assorted meat, ede, and panla. Very minimal oil. I just finished a whole pot last week. |
Re: Best Stew/soupe For Dried BITTER Leaf by WhiteOne(f): 3:27pm On Jul 20, 2010 |
ede? panla? I know, i should know what this means, bec. i heard it millions times. At the moment i can not remember an I am bit embarassed to ask my in-laws. Can someboby provide me with the English name please. |
Re: Best Stew/soupe For Dried BITTER Leaf by eyzhvntsn: 3:31pm On Jul 20, 2010 |
Ede - prawns (dried) Panla - stockfish (dried) |
Re: Best Stew/soupe For Dried BITTER Leaf by WhiteOne(f): 3:58pm On Jul 20, 2010 |
I am not the biggest fan of stockfish and it might be hard to come by could i use smoked fish instead? And should i service it with eyam? |
Re: Best Stew/soupe For Dried BITTER Leaf by eyzhvntsn: 4:33pm On Jul 20, 2010 |
Yes u can use smoked fish, matter of fact u can put anything u want really. And u can serve it with iyan, actually i like it best with iyan. |

Thanks! I would be carefull with anything. On of my colleagues used smoked German sausage in it and served it with rice. This was just horrible. But is see where you are coming from. |

WhiteOne: Lol!!!! I don't know about smoked german sausage o. I meant anything meat or fish |

you should use it with egusi and serve with eba or rice make sure the leaf is soaked and thoroughly washed with salt that way it will kill the high taste of bitterness in it |

Ingredients assorted meat (Beef, ox tail, shaki, cow leg, goat meat) medium smoked fish big size stock fish(of your choice) grounded Crayfish big sized onion dried grounded red hot chilli pepper tablespoonful of red palm oil medium sized white cocoyam Freshly squeezed or dried bitter leaf Salt of dried curry powder dried thyme leaves water Preparation Thoroughly wash the assorted meat in clean warm water. Put in a medium sized pot, add about a cup or two of water and two cubes of maggi seasoning or bullion cubes, half onion, sliced, salt to taste, little sprinkle of dried curry powder – about ½ tablespoonful, dried thyme leaves, and bring to boil for about 20 minutes. Thoroughly wash the stock fish with sponge to remove any vestige of sand gain and allow to run under plenty of tap water. The stock fish is best soaked overnight to allow it absorb water and become tender. Cut the stock fish into servable bits and add it to the boiling meat. Allow to boil for 5 – 10 minutes. Add the washed medium smoked fish, and allow the whole mixture of assorted meat, stock fish, and smoked fish to boil for another 5 minutes. Now add about 4 cups of water into the pot of boiling meat and fish, and add about 1 or 2 tablespoonful of dried red hot pepper to taste and freshly squeezed or dried bitter leaf (3 to 4 balls of hand squeezed fresh bitter leaf, or 3 – 5 tablespoonful of dried bitter leaf. Allow to boil for 3 – 5 minutes. At this point, add the palm oil, and already cooked and mashed cocoyam to thicken the soup. Where you can not get cocoyam a sprinkle of garri would do the same. Add salt, and pepper to taste again, and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Your bitter leaf soup is ready to eat. Bitter leaf soup can be eaten or served with pounded yam or semolina or eba. |
