NOTE:

-Premium Ofe Owerri is cooked with stock fish (not the head only, but the head first for its flavour) and dry fish. However, it will be hard not to eat meat in this modern era. So you can throw in some cow leg/head (preferably).

-Soak your dry fish in hot water and debone it.

-It wasn’t intended to be refrigerated. That is why it is considered expensive. You cook it and eat it once.

-It has two leaves in it, pumpkin (ugu) and okazi. Okazi is the leaf Ibibios/Efiks call afang. Feel free to add uziza for its flavour.

-Boil and pound your cocoyam. PLEASE DON’T BOIL WITH SALT. If you don’t have a mortar, you can also use a blender or food processor.

-Slice your leaves. They should be thin.

Gidigbam. I don finally find my residence for Nairaland. Abeg, pocohantas, you don marry?

Ofe Owerri is a luxurious soup straight out of Imo State. The soup is well rated that it has a song named after it. So, if you know the classic song, Ofe Owere by Oriental Brothers and you still haven’t gotten to know its history, you will know today, but if you haven’t ever heard the song, check YouTube.

The only difference between ofe owere and ofe oha is the leaves okwaya?

Kondomatic:
Why snails though?

pocohantas:


You hate snails? I know many people on that table. Some for superstitious reasons.

Not in my case.



I just don't like it. I don't know what it tastes like and I don't wanna know.


Can the snail be replaced with another thing?

I never knew "Ofe Owerri" actually exists . I have always thought it means good life , I mean drawing conclusion from the context it was used in that song.


I for ask you to do "waybill" but snails....... Chai, person fit use another meat?

You go online to download pictures
But you come here pushing shoulder up and down as if na you cook am.


This nonsense must stop this year oooo

pocohantas:


Yes, you can use any other meat, but when it comes to soups, you don’t just use any meat. If you want meat that would influence the taste of your soup, use goat meat. If you want meat that the soup would influence its taste, use cow leg/head. For soups like this (oha, okazi, ofe owere), I advise cowleg. That way its original taste remains.

Lol. It is a soup, I guess the song made it more popular. I can take out the snail, you wouldn’t even know it was there.

That's a relief.



Lemme goan read how to cook it then. I stopped when I saw snails.


We learn everyday.


Thankio for free lectures

NOW TO THE COOKING

Pic 3&4: Soup is ready. Very easy

I liken the taste to okazi soup. Like a version 2.0.

Ofe Owerri is a luxurious soup straight out of Imo State. The soup is well rated that it has a song named after it.
