Home cooked meals are always better, and you can put whatever you want in them.
Especially those dried prawns you like...they add extra flavour to meals

Sorry about what happened sis, when it comes to soup- I always start from the scratch like an old woman. All to avoid stories that touch. I also wanted to try cocoyam and they showed me that dried stuff, I jejely collected my achi.

For my recipe; I used PALM FRUITS (not palm oil), YELLOW PEPPER, DRIED PRAWNS, OHA, UZIZA, ACHI, MAGGI CRAYFISH and SALT. Lol

Step 1: Wash your palm fruits and cook them.

Step 2: While the palm fruit is cooking, pick, cut and wash your oha/uziza. Don’t mix them up, so you know which is which. Then you blend your yellow pepper together with your dried prawns.


Step 3: Cook your meat. PLEASE USE DRY FISH OR STOCK FISH too. They give this natural flavour to soups that I can explain. Season well, pour some of the pepper paste into it and add water that will be above the meat. The reason for this is in step 4/5.

Step 4: Your palm fruit should be really soft by now. Drain the water it was cooked in and put warm water. Squeeze it to extract the “oil”. Sieve into a bowl or pot. Please squeeze before it cools.

Step 5: Pour the PALM FRUIT EXTRACT into your cooked meat. Your meat should be done before you do this. That way it has absorbed the seasoning and won’t come off bland. Cover and allow to boil.

Step 6: When it starts boiling, add the remaining PEPPER paste, allow to boil again and check for seasoning. I always check now because I feel the taste of seasonings are better picked when it has boiled. ADJUST IF NEED ARISES.

Step 7: In a small bowl, mix your achi with water. This is to avoid creating lumps if you decide to sprinkle directly into the boiling soup. Pour the mixture into your soup and reduce heat. Allow to cook again.

P.S, If you use cocoyam, you add at this same point.

DON’T PUT TOO MUCH ACHI, IT THICKENS WHEN THE SOUP COOLS.

Step 8: Put in your oha and uziza. I advise ratio 3:1. I like uziza, but it is still oha soup. Uziza shouldn’t take the glory.

Step 9: Stir, commot pot for fire. Take with akpu, preferably. grin

thanks maam I really appreciate.Did you add ogili?

By palm fruit you mean palm kernel? Mpkulekwu?

Yea. I call it palm kernel after the “back” is off. Then it becomes aki, before then, it is nkwu. cheesy

So accurate @ kanda. I felt a bit weird cooking it without that, but except I go to major Lagos markets (quite some distance), I don’t see that thick kanda here. I am surrounded by that soft one, soaked in what I don’t know. I can’t put that in my cherished uha/okazi. cry cry

Lol, I was wondering how showing appreciation is a sign of low self-esteem. He should have just come out straight to say he hates that you showed Poco appreciation.

Hello there,

I wasn't sure if my seeing your mention hadn't come too late. Let me give you the recipe:

First of all, you will need to read the package instructions on the sort of couscous you have because they differ. Some need more and others less water and depending on the amount you use of course. I don't know how many people you cook for.

Step 1:
Prepare the vegetables. You can use whatever you like but in my last picture I used bell peppers, carrots and onions. I also used garlic. You can add some habanero peppers too if your food must be hot. Chop the vegetables and garlic into small pieces. I used a garlic press though.

Step 2:
Heat up a tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and the garlic and a tablespoon of tomato paste (optional). Fry for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add the vegetables and some salt and fry for another 2 minutes. Add the water that is needed for the couscous. Now add the spices that you like. I used salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and a knorr cubes.

Let the vegetables cook for about 8-10 minutes on medium heat.

Step 3:
Add the couscous and let it cook till the couscous absorbs the water.

Ready! :-)


If you want a non-vegetarian version. First fry some meat (chicken breast) and turkey do not need to be pre-cooked, take it out and put it on a plate aside. In the same pot, follow steps 1-3 (you don't need to add new oil but you can if you want to). When the couscous is almost ready, add the meat again to warm it up. For the recipe with the meat, I used broccoli though.
