📢 Cooking Contest || Week-06 || Prove yourself as the Best Ladies Chef on the Steemit Platform.

Halo beautifully ladies…it’s time to cook! Who’s excited? I am. Today am taking us through my delicious presentation of my delightfully cooked Nigerian Egsusi or melon soup. Who’s ready to see something delicious?

	Selfie with my delicious melon soup

The ingredients for my melon soup

• Grinded melon seeds
• Red oil
• Dry fish
• Crayfish
• salt and maggi cubes
• Pumpkin leaves
• Stockfish
• Ice fish and meats
• Cow skin
• Fresh pepper and onions
• Smoked fish

I had to wash my and prepare my fish and meats and added them to the pot and boiled them with salt and maggi cube seasoning.

Then I proceeded to add oil to the pot and added the sliced onions and Grinded pepper and crayfish and stirred.

I proceeded to add my egusi or melon and stirred intermittent to avoid burning. If it burns, the soup will have a bitter taste. So I have to keep stirring it till it dries.

When it has dried and no longer has a sour taste, poured in my stock, added water and added all the other protein and allows it to boil for sometime.

When it has boiled for a while, I added my washed pumpkin leaves to the boiling soup and stirred, then allowed it to boil for a little while and I brought the soup down.

Voila, my Egusi soup is ready to be devoured. I made a little Garri to go down as swallow with the soup and here’s me and my delicious plate of Egusi or melon soup.

The economy of my country is very unstable right now and things are quite expensive but am glad for God’s help and food to eat. I choose to cook melon soup because Melon soup is very nutritious and has a lot of nutritional values and it’s a good source of vitamins and minerals and healthy fats and oil.
