Snail (I cant get them here so I leave them out and make up by adding lots of dry fish)
Peppers

2 ogiri
knorr cubes (six)
palm oil


Directions

Precook meat, season to taste
When your meat is ready,

Add crayfish, assorted fish and soup thickener and little bit palm oil to a pot of water and cook til it looks thick

When you have achieved your desired consistencie, add the Uha to the pot and cook for another 3-5 minutes, and disolve ogiri wraps in some water and add to the pot. I then cook it for a little bit more (about ten mins or so)

I serve it with Ola Ola pounded yam (its so nice)

Not sure if this is even the correct way,

Ingredients:
Egusi(melon)
Ukpo or Achi(soup thickeners)
Achara(bamboo but the softer one)I don't know what they call it here
Ngara azu(small dry fish)
Ayiya(crayfish)
Azu okpo(dry fish)
Okporoko (stock fish)
Aku agbo(melon spheres/biscuit)
Mgbe(kind of seafood, don’t know the English name)
Assorted anu (meat), also assorted bush meat and dry meat (kai to die for)
Manu nri (Palm oil)
Ukazi (shredded)

First cook your okporoko and other hard meat like cow leg and ox tail. Boil meat and azu okpo; add pepper and oil as the meat is boiling. Watch the tenderness, you do not want it to be soggy.
After add ukpo or achi…I prefer ukpo because of the taste. Allow few minutes and add ayiya and ngara azu and let it boil…. allow few minutes to boil, and then taste the sauce/soup to see if it is done. Also the color and the thickness of the broth should let you know if the ingredients are done.
At this time your soup should be slightly thick but not too thick like Eguisi soup…be careful adding Egusi at this time because it also serves as soup thickener.
Allow it to boil for few minutes then add the aku agbo and achara…few more minutes for it to simmer then add Ukazi leaves.

hey what can i substitute the achara with? i dont think i can find that here, is it a must have? also what about this melon biscuit what is that? would egusi alone not be ok instead of melon biscuits?

also, this mgbe is that sea snails? is there anything else i can use? maybe mgbe is periwinkles??

They sell large snails at Peckham Rye Lane market. They range from £1.50 to £2.00 each.

. . , . . . . . . . , looks great, looking forward to trying it. , . .

ok thanks.

what is Oha in english? e.g like Ugwu is Pumkin leaves in English.

From my research they are yam leaves
