Egusi Soup
Cook the meat
Start by slicing your meat into desired chunks. Add Maggi cubes (2-4 cubes), salt (to taste), and sliced onions. Cook for about 30 mins till the meat is fully cooked.
Assemble remaining ingredients
To complete the soup, you will need red/palm oil, crayfish, pepper, ground egusi, spinach/pumpkin/bitter leaf vegetable
Fry Egusi
Fry ground egusi in palm oil. I used 4 table spoons of oil and 6 table spoons of egusi for this recipe
Add fried egusi and spices
Add the fried egusi, crayfish, pepper, salt and other spices to the cooked meat
Simmer and Stir
Continue cooking the soup and stir occasionally
Add vegetables
Add favorite vegetables and continue to simmer. I used frozen spinach in this recipe. I ran hot water through the spinach and squeezed extra water from the spinach. I did this to remove extra water being added to the soup
Serve soup with your favorite fufu. Maisha enjoying egusi soup with pounded yam
