Instructions to make Egusi soup:
- Wash the Ugwu and efirin. Then cut them as you like either in big chunks or tiny strips. I like mine finely chopped.
- In a pot, put in your beef/goatmeat and stock fish (I don't soak my stock fish because I feel it looses taste that way but if you soak yours then no need to boil it with the meats), season and allow to boil.
- When the meat is tender, pour in your pepper and Iru then allow to cook for about 5mins. At this stage the water content from the stock would have mixed up with the pepper and would have reduced. You don't want a watery soup so please pay attention to this.
- In a bowl pour your egusi, crayfish and dice in onions with a little water to form a paste. Then pour in this paste into the pot of meat and pepper. After pouring it in, add the vegetable, then 1-2 spoons of palmoil. Lower the heat and cover the pot.
- After about 2mins, open the pot and stir in well. Correct the seasoning then cover and allow to cook for 3-4mins before turning off the heat. Your egusi soup is ready to be served. Enjoy!
