Egusi soup is one of the easiest and commonly consumed food in Nigeria. Although most tribes have different ways of making it.
This was made with grounded melon seeds, palm oil, cowleg (Ox leg), stockfish, pomo, dryfish, crayfish, seasonings, vegetables (pumpkin /ugwu leaf or okazi or uziza) which ever option you prefer. Although i used okazi and uziza. this combo was heavenly.
share your view on how you cook yours and what you eat it with.
The egusi looks yummy. I'm hungry already. Looking forward to reading more about nigerian foods and the food scene in Lagos. Good luck on your blog
ReplyDeleteEgusi soup wow its ma best soup, but must b prepared very well love the one you fry the egusi before adding other tins... I do mine with fufu or pounded yam... if you wanna get dis brother give him Eeeegusii soup n ........... Big ups to u Lady V.
ReplyDeleteI love egusi ball soup. It is delicious. In this recipe you mould the egusi into balls after seasoning it with pepper, maggi and salt. When cooked, you make ur achi soup with it using uha and uziza as vegetable. Delicious with fufu, pounded yam or eba
ReplyDeleteI like it as well. But didn't know one can also use achi for it. Thanks for the info.
