Same thing you told me in 2020.

I can't remember this discussion, But I know I procrastinate a lot when it comes to cooking. So I'm not surprised someone is calling me out

But I'm serious this time. I didn't know i could get the extract from stores, I made that discovery recently. I'll post on the "cook in your kitchen" thread and tag you.

Lol...Good Morning.

Aunty Poco, can you cook groundnut soup? Or do you know anyone here that can?

I have some ground groundnut (for soup) and I don't know how to do it.

Everyone I asked said if it's not done properly, it will taste very bad.
Help a brother out, Biko.

Good morning,

You can search Google for that. I can, but I have never created a recipe for it because it takes me time to cook things I do not eat. cheesy

The conversation did happen, I can assure you that. You said you don’t even have a mortar and asked me if you could crush with your hands. grin

I would be waiting for that day, Tapôut.

Yes you can get it from stores. I know someone that sells it too. https://instagram.com/victoriaafoods?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Please who puts ginger or ehuru in ofe akwu/banga stew? That's very very wrong and a serious sign of a bad cook. Please and please the only star of the stew is scent leaf. Ofe akwu stew is native to Ndi Anambra and we don't use ginger or ehuru to make it yet we make the best.

If you ask me, I wouldn't understand what connects a supposedly dead country with banga soup.
Perhaps the aroma is making you reflect on the state of the economy.
Don't worry, we go survive.
And we go eat Banga soup together. cool

Biko, assist your abroadian brothers with replacements:

- Could I use palm oil or canned crushed palm fruit (from Ghana), to replace the fresh palm fruit?

- Could I use Spinach instead of Ugwu leaf (I have some already cut and frozen spinach)?

- What do I use instead of Okpeye? Soy sauce? Ignore this ingredient? I said soy sauce because it is gotten from fermented soya beans.

I don't even know what ehuru is. I do have some nutmeg spice. Could I use that instead?

Finally, I have some groundnut that was ground for use in making groundnut soup. Any idea on a recipe? My sister's and mom have never cooked this before. Could I add it here?

Looks scrumptious! By

You can't use palm oil but you can use crushed palm fruits or palm fruits concentrate which can be found in supermarkets/ grocery stores

Ugu is actually optional in this soup, so it can be done without if you can't find it

As for the okpeye, you can equally cook your Banga stew without it just that it's unique flavor will be missing. I don't know how fermented soybean taste loo like so can't say if it should serve as replacement for okpeye

Ehuru is called calabash nutmeg in English and it's very necessary when cooking Banga stew, please don't put ordinary nutmeg in Banga stew, if you have your scent leaves, then cook it like that, even though it may not taste exactly the way it should but believe me you will love the outcome provided the other ingredients apart from okpeye and ehuru are available.please do not add groundnut to your Banga stew, hope this helps

I pity people like you who are not open to explore new things and who easily condemn people's opinions or recipes especially when you haven't tried it. I advise you when you see new things, embrace it, try it out before you judge.
There is NO single recipe for a particular meal, there has to be varieties. Variety is the spice of life.
When you try this recipe with ginger and ehuru, then come back and talk, I will listen
