I washed my cowskin (kpomo) and dried fish into the cooking pot, I added fresh pepper that I've pounded and set aside, I also added, seasoning cube, onions salt for taste then I stirred it very well and put it on fire.
While it was on fire, I switched into other activities, washing and slicing of Okro and I also sliced the Asuza leaf, not too tiny and set them aside, I washed the periwinkle, pounded the crayfish and set aside and I soaked the melon in a quantity of water and set aside too.
All ingredients well prepared |

When the kpomo and fish was done on the fire, I put the pot down, then I placed a frying pan on fire, added a little quantity of red oil to heat.

After the oil has heated I put sliced onions in the oil before I pour in the melon and then fried it gradually till it becomes dried.
Then I added my sliced Okro and fried it together too, when it was well done, I poured it into the cooking pot and I added a little amount of water.

Outing the sliced Okro |

I allowed the food to steam for about 15 minutes after adding the water. When it has boiled well I then added the sliced Asuza leaf as the last ingredient in the soup , I stirred it well.

I love this Okro and melon soup because it has been the soup I used to cooked often when I was in school, it was a rich man food (you should know what I mean by rich man food🤣).

2.6 STEEM! Wow! I truly don't know how you got it right to cook a meal for that prices. That is incredible!
You cannot even buy a bread in South Africa with that money.
With 2.6 STEEM they might allow you to sniff the crayfish.
A rich man food it is indeed! (•ิ‿•ิ)
