Lilimax:
oops! Typo...I meant red oil

ok! I did fry it.

Nigga44:
Can you give us a list of the food/drink she took that wiped out almost 100k? I wan confam something

It sounds like a lot but possible, remember he said almost N100K maybe it was around N80K. I have spent N74K on a table for 2 before. most time you don't even realize you have accumulated that much bill until it comes.

Pavore9:
Let a Kenyan catch you putting fish and meat in the soup...tufiakwa it is an abomination for them!

That your garri looks like ljebu garri ! Me am cooking my own Egusi soup on the 24th and it is going down with Semolina l will use all you listed except for the fresh pepper and spinach as l will be using ground cameroun pepper for it has this flavour it brings to the meal, not also forgetting my uziza seeds, using ukazi for the vegetable.

lol at tufiakwa. cant find all those uzziza and ukazi stuffs over, I may have eaten a food containing them, but wouldn't even recognize it if i see it.

Lilimax:
Well done Martynsnet! You're surely a good cook no doubt. However, Egusi soup usually tastes good and yummy when fried in palm oil before adding water and other ingredients. I would advise you to try it next time Use water to pre-mix the egwusi before frying in ted oil till the water dries; it usually give your egusi soup an appealing look and it tastes better. Bless you.

tnx a lot Lily, will try it. what is "ted oil"?

Ladies and Gentlemen, my humble self.
Thanks for viewing, corrections on how to make the soup better next time is more than welcomed. I also made Okra soup and Stew this morning which I will open a thread for later. its going to be a long holiday of eating and Netflix

CC: SAMBARRY, jessyz, curve, lilimax and the rest, how did I do this time?

18. Add water as required
19. Then all the meat, I only have pics of when I have added the fish. but the fish was second to the last thing I added.
20. Add maggi, salt and pepper to taste.
21. After letting the pot boil for a while, I now added the vegetable. 2 mins later soup is ready.
22. My friend was the first to eat from it.

14. Fish is ready.
15. heating Palm oil
16. Adding the Egusi
17. Consistent stirring.

10. Preparing the fresh fish, cos I intend roasting it.
11. salt, maggi, pepper and a bit of palm oil to rub on the fish before roasting.
12. After rubbing the mixture with the fish
13. In the Oven

NOW TO THE COOKING ITSELF.

7. Steamed the chicken separately
8. Steamed the Beef separately

1. Chicken
2. Fresh Fish, Beef, Gizzard
3. Egusi
4. Dried prawns

Hit, fashion is about making a statement.

whitecat2:

No one should be despised for reaching out to others, pardon her for being human and being kind to mankind.

Youngzedd:
If you look at the soup after adding Okro, you will notice it looks as if there is no oil. That is to say, you need to add a little oil next time.

Finally, Vegetable is very important. Pumpkin is necessary.



You tried. I will rate your cook 90/100

Thanks for the rating. Then I used to think my mom was forcing me to do women work.

Aida13:
Okro in Ogbono is like the finishing touch ohhh my I love the combo. I cut my okra in huge chunks and enjoy them when not too cooked so I put them last of all. I don't fancy meat with my ogbono. Instead, I use an assortment of dried/smoked fish to maintain the local flavor that meat can never provide.

The key is avoiding too much salt, and boiling the seasoning cubes in hot water beforehand, so they don't clump at the bottom of the soup. Also, stir stir stir. You have to stand by the soup and keep stirring, cos that sticking-to-the-bottom stuff is sooo not nice.

This soup is best with poundo yam, eko or semo.

Thanks, will try it.

DrJoe1:
okro soup is best prepared with ugu vegetable

I cant find Ugu here, but I do use pumpkin in my Okra soup sometimes. tnx

Emmalot121:
Thanks man! This has surely helped me in my quest to being independent of women.

You sure need how to cook. it helps.

whitecat2:
@op, where did you get that smoked Tilapia fillet? I've not seen that brand or boneless smoked fish period.

Got it in Oxford. Cowley Street.

ricki:
Is this an advert or showing how to cook ?
Niaja ppl and shortcuts.

otiigba1:
na wao! me thinks so too

I am in the UK, that's how I saw the things packaged. lucky for them if they got publicized.

otiigba1:
chineke mie! boil for two minutes? you wan kill person with food poisoning its clearly says on the satchet boil for long time i presum? anyway how you take get goat meat (smells delicious ), for UK i don find am tire here in london, they only sells lamb, another question is it prawn or crayfish which one is better?

Am in Oxford, that's where I got the goat meat. As for the boiling, I had added the ogbono long before adding the Okra which I let to cook for just 2 minutes because I didn't want the Okra getting soft.

SAMBARRY:
Wow . yours is different but nice



this is how I do mine. I boil the titus fish . After the fish I ready, I bleach the palm oil a little. Just for 2srconds then pour the powdered ogbono into the hot oil, add the fish water and then leave it to cook. While it's cooking I dice the fish into it, stirr it and once its ready. That's all

sounds quicker and easier, I will try it.

Pavore9:
Though l live in Nairobi,my kitchen is well stocked wit home foodstuff- egusi, ogbono, uda, achi, cocoyam, uziza, ehuru, crayfish, cameroun pepper (all ground). l get my palm oil from Congo.

Am not even in Africa, so its a bit tougher.

Pavore9:
Are you not living in Nigeria?

No am not.

jessyz:
Fantastic! Exactly the way i cook mine too. Enjoy.

Thanks.

prettyjo:
everything is jux mother Africa. Are you advertising for them?

No! just a coincidence.

Pavore9:
No local spice like uziza? l

lol @ Uzazi, am even happy for this ones I saw.

true

Step 9. After letting the pot boil for a while, now added the Obgono
Step 10. Then the Okra

And after letting it boil for like 2 minutes my soup was ready.
food is ready, what would I do without my Garri n soup.

Thanks for viewing, corrections if necessary on how to make the soup better next time is highly welcomed.

Step 5. Add the quantity of water as desired into the steaming pot, add pepper, maggi and salt
Step 6. Now Oil
Step 7. I kept the dried fish and prawns in a bowl containing hot water, before adding it to the steaming pot.
Step 8. There was only about 9 prawns in the sachet, since I wanted the prawns for its flavour, I decided to blend the head of the prawns instead of throwing it away.

Now to the business of the day, I know goat meat takes longer to get soft, so also the cow foot. so I steamed them separately.

Step 1. Steaming goat meat
Step 2. Steaming cow foot
Step 3. Added the beef, then later the gizzard into the pot steaming the goat meat.
Step 4. Then I add the cow foot to the pot containing the beef, gizzard and goat meat, so that they all have the same flavour.

5. Okra
6. Fresh Pepper

Have you ever longed for a particular food for what seems like forever?
I was in a situation where all I have to eat is a non Nigerian meal, until I set out to change that. Below is the achievement.

Items for the soup.
1. Meat. Made up of beef, cow foot, gizzard and goat meat.
2. Dried fish
3. Dried Prawns
4. Ogbono
