Catfish pepper soup is a popular delicacy known as point and kill in Nigeria. It is delicious, healthy and has a distinct taste.

• Prep time: 15 mins
• Cook time: 15 mins
• Total time: 30 mins
• Misc: Serve hot

Ingredients:::
• 1 medium sized Catfish
• 3 Calabash Nutmeg seeds (Ehu/Ariwo)
• 4 Habanero Pepper or chili pepper - ground
• 2 tbsp ground Crayfish
• A handful scent leaves
• 4 Utazi leaves
• 1 medium sized onion
• 2 seasoning cubes
• Salt to taste
Calabash nutmeg is also known as; Gudan Miya, Ikpoosa, Ehuru, Ehu, Posa, Iwo, Erhe.

Directions:::
• Cut the onions into tiny pieces and set aside. Wash and pick the scent leaves and utazi leaves, slice into smaller pieces and set aside.

• Using an old frying pan, roast the Ehu seeds (stirring constantly) till you can smell it or take one of the seeds and try to remove the outer membrane.

• If the membrane comes off easily, then the Ehu is done. Peel off the skin and grind the ehu in a dry mill.

• Or you can roast the calabash nutmeg seed over direct flame. Remove the shell and pound into a smooth powder.

• Cut the catfish into 1-inch thick slices and wash. Bring some water to boil and pour in the pieces of fish, stir and remove immediately.

• This toughens the skin of the fish so that it does not fall apart during cooking. Place the pieces of catfish in a pot, add water just enough to cover the fish.

• Add the crushed seasoning cubes, onions and bring to boil. Once it starts to boil, add the ground pepper, ehu, crayfish, salt to taste and continue cooking for about 5 mins.

• Once the catfish is done, add the chopped leaves. Leave to simmer for about 3 minutes and it's ready! Serve the catfish pepper soup hot!
