Nigerian Soups :How to Make Ogbono

-


Hello Gourmets! 

 So, Saturdays are for the foodies. I'm glad. I'm so excited. Oh my gosh. I love food. Good food. I love to cook and taste good food. In fact, I  think I should get a job as a food taster. Or...  What do you think? 

 Anyways, I have always dreamt of being a chef. Chef Grace? Gracie the chef? Whatever. I'll figure it out later. 

 So today, I'm going to be teaching us how to make Ogbono soup. I love the soup even though I'm not Igbo. We call it (Apon) in Yoruba parlance. My grandma thought me this method so be of good cheer, it's going to be delicious. Old women can cook for Africa. 
So, 
Recipe 
1 or 2 of Ogbono depending on how much you want it to be
palm oil
Crayfish, blended
Meat or fish or chicken whatever you like
Stock fish 
salt
Fresh pepper blended but not smooth 
onions  
Ugwu (pumpkin leaves) 
Pomo (Cow Hyde) 

 Method 
Clean the stock fish well and boil with seasoning. 
Boil the meat in another pot
When both are ready, remove the meat from the stock and add the stock to the stock fish
Pour the blended pepper and onion into the stockfish
Add Maggi(seasoning cubes).  Add salt
Leave to boil well
Get another clean pot,  heat it on the fire to make sure it's dry
Pour the palm oil and heat for 5-8minutes
Put off the heat and pour the Ogbono into the oil

 By now, the pepper would be boiling 
Pour the ogbono and stir
Add the boiled meat and blended crayfish and Pomo(Cow Hyde) 
The slimy goodness would have started to boil 
Add the chopped Ugwu and Leave to cook for 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat. 

Ogbono goes well on Yellow Eba, Fufu, Semi or Wheat.

 This is the part where I leave you to go and try it. 
Share your experiences in the comment section. 
Have a wonderful day

You Lied

You lied I am not the kind given to mindless prattle Nor am I the kind to be swayed by the grace of your swaying lips Ever since I took to the fashion of judging mysteries with the guise of a wolf clan I have had for myself a vacuum long filled from it's doldrums I take your words for what they are, words! with the kindness and calm I can't but disdain each loose one I sacrifice at the altar of smouldering indifference For you lied to me,you told me I had too much to loose Grand papa says its always better to be left with the "oh wells than the what ifs" You lied,you said being self-centered is wrong I am the north star ,the nucleus of this journey breathing life&essence You lied, you said everything happens for a reason Not everything was a cosmic sign to begin with You lied ,you always do Written by Anjolaoluwa Jaiyeola Have a wonderful day, Xoxo Dieko

Hello Heaven, Heard you would be judging with how it ends Heard I would be a stranger to all my friends Heard the music would be alleluyah, hope there's highlife and not just the classicals Hope we can hip hop to the musicals Would the angels be on blue jeans, leather jackets or fancy kicks? Don't tell me it's only white robes. I'll be bored in less than a week. Sorry for all the questions, mean no I'll intentions. Would there be choir practice,I  hope heaven isn't all church service?
