I have been taking rice and stew, bread and tea/stew, sphaggeti and noodles for few days now, I am tired πŸ˜• I need to make something sweet for my self, something special 😎
So, today I decide to make egusi soup -the type with assorted fish πŸ˜€
For the single guys here who wish to learn how to make this sweet soup, it will take you less time to prepare than cooking beansπŸ˜‰
So before I go on let me list my ingredients

  1. Egusi - like a cup will do for 3 servings
  2. 1 big onion bulb
  3. Assorted fish ( I used stock fish, dry cat fish and crayfish πŸ˜‹)
    4..dry pepper, salt, water,locust bean and seasoning cube (I used knorr)
  4. Scent leave

Preparation:
It is advisable to soak your dry fishe(s) in warm water for like 10-15minutes(stock fish can be stubborn sometimes, you can leave it for more minutes) and dismantle it to remove all stubborn bones that can stick into your throat while swallowing your food. See this...

Meanwhile dice/slice your onions into pieces and add to your egusi, add little water and mix until a paste is formed, like this...

Place your pot on fire, add 2-3 cups of water and red oil as desired, before you cover the pot add locust bean (a spoon or two will do). You can add all your assorted fishe(s) at this stage. Then allow to simmer for about 5 - 8 minutes. If you added locust bean you will start to smell the aroma πŸ˜‹.

Then open your pot after 5 - 8 minutes and add your egusi paste, don't pour everything inside at once, use spoon to serve it small by small. Rinse the remaining paste from your plate and pour inside then cover for about 10-15 minutes. (you can leave it to stay more if you like your soup thick).
So, this is mine ready to go with wheat I just made.
