Iru: The Godmother Of All Condiments by TigerFoods: 9:34am On May 30, 2020 |
Iru; the Godmother of all Condiments. African Locust Bean, is the secret behind the making of ‘Iru’ by Yorubas, ‘Ogiri Okpei or Dawa Dawa’ by Igbos, the perfect seasoning used in sauces, soups and stews. If you are not used to the “funky” aroma of Ogiri, you might be taken aback, but the deep savouriness it brings to dishes, especially if first cooked in oil, will leave you impressed. This is one ingredient in soups you can’t miss even if you were miles away. The aroma is bound to keep you on your toes while cooking. Iru is incorporated in soups like Egusi/Oha soup, Efo Riro, Onugbu soup, Ofada sauce, and a crucial ingredient in the preparation of African salad (Abacha). https://www.tigerfoods.com/iru-the-godmother-of-all-condiments/ 31 Likes 7 Shares

Too much character, limitless effiizy, Iru is the ultimate soup condiment. The processes of making Iru can be nauseous, though. 4 Likes |
