1. Seafood Okro

Stewed Seafood Okra recipe is basically a Nigerian Okra soup dish. It is a fusion of Okra, Seafood and spicy pepper sauce. I was feeling under the weather all through last week and for some reason, I was craving Seafood, think my body had had enough of Shaki and Ponmo, my usual favourites…

I hardly cook Okra as I’ve noticed that since moving to the UK, Okra makes me itch, this never happened in Nigeria! Just a mouthful and my body, scalp especially would itch. The itching is never too bad though, it’s usually tolerable. Anyway, Saturday morning, I was up by 7 am, ready to go out in search of seafood. I couldn’t get a lot as I hoped so settled for Crab claws, Tiger Prawns, King prawns, Calamari and Squid, shrimps. I already had a couple of frozen Tilapia so, I got to work on Sunday morning. This Seafood Okra was so good, a friend came over after church, had a taste and insisted I made him some to take home, well, I gave in.

This recipe for Stewed Seafood Okra is quite long and windy, but this is only because I’ll be showing the entire process, which includes the boiling of the seafood, so, bear with me. One thing is certain though, you’ll love, love, love this recipe, scout’s honour.?



Ingredients:
30-40 pieces of Okra

1 big piece Fish of your choice( I’m using Tilapia)

2. Fish Pepper Soup

One thing I love about pepper soup is that the pepper and spices help you kind of sweat out the cold.


Growing up in Nigeria, I lived in Warri which is in Delta state. In warri, we have several rivers and we lived quite close to the NNPC refinery port where my dad worked. So, if there is one food Warfarians enjoy the most of, it’s fish pepper soup. I remember going to Pesu Market with my mother, just because she had to buy fish. The good thing about Pesu market was the fact that it was close to the water, so every fish caught was instantly sold to eager customers.

In Warri, there are several restaurants who offer a variety of fish or seafood for their pepper soup, but the people’s favorite is either Tilapia or Catfish. Personally, I do not fancy Tilapia, but it’s one fish that is affordable and soaks up the flavor of whatever dish you’re cooking. So, making a decision to use Tilapia for this recipe was very easy. (and I digress).


Ingredients
2- 2½ pound white firm fish cut in desired pieces
3-4 garlic cloves minced
1 or more hot pepper chopped or whole scotch bonnet, chili
1 Tablespoon grated ginger
1 bay leaf
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons or more diced celery
½ medium onion diced
1 teaspoon white pepper
3-4 leaves basil chopped
1-2 green onion chopped whites and green parts
Salt to taste
1-2 teaspoon bouillon powder
Ethnic spices listed above optional
