Efo riro

Hmmm...one of the favorite soups of the western naija,it is a very rich vegetable soup and you simply can't resist an eforiro with Amala, eyan (pounded yam), fufu, or Eba. You know how we roll in naija way! 

Ingredients

1. Shoko or tete (spinach leave) 

2. Scotch bonnet (Ata rodo) 

3. Tatashe 

4. Onions (thinly sliced)

5. Dry and smoked fish 

6. Palm oil 

7. Crayfish 

8. Iru (locust beans)

9. Ponmo 

10. Shaki, beef or any assorted meat

11. Stock cubes 

Salt

Method of preparation 

1. Wash thoroughly and boil meat or assorted meat and spice up with stock cubes salt and onions 

2. Blend and boil pepper not too smooth and boil to paste (so that the sour taste will be out) 

3. Wash the shoko leaf and cut (soak in hot water and salt for few mins) and drain. 

4. Add palm oil in a pot to fry a little, and go ahead to pour the boiled pepper, and cook for a while,it becomes pasty.

5. Then, add crayfish, (iru), dry or smoked fish, onions, Pomo, assorted meat, stock cubes, salt and stir. At this point it brings an adorable and inviting aroma.
