Part 2

A very simple way to make your okra and ogbono soup

In a pot, boil your protein. Once it’s cooked, mix the ground ogbono with red oil and place it in the same pot with the meat to dissolve, then mix everything together. Add your locust beans (iru), pepper, seasoning cubes and crayfish, then pour the ogbono mixture into the meat. Add a little water and allow it to cook for about 3 minutes

Then add your diced okra, mix everything together and let it cook for 1–3 minutes. Add your leaf and cook for just a minute, and your soup is ready

Served with yellow garri

I saw someone cooking rice and stew with tortoise 🐢 and somehow, that video took me straight back to my childhood 😂

It reminded me of one of the meals I used to love growing up, cocoyam porridge with fresh scent leaf.

So I decided to bring back the childhood favourite and give it another try.

Honestly, some foods just take you straight back home ❤️

Would you eat cocoyam porridge with scent leaf?
