<div class="text-justify

Warm greetings to you all my fellow steemains. It's another beautiful day that our creator has given us, free of charge.
And I hope yours is going well. I remain your favorite girl @enyddy.

I believe each and everyone of us do have what we really love doing, and as I earlier mentioned in my introduction post, that cooking is one of the things I enjoyed doing,
Come with me as I take you on a journey of how I prepared this delicious African delicacy 'AFANG SOUP'

Below are the ingredients used in preparing this Afang soup

• Afang
• Water leaf
• Meat
• Crayfish
• Pepper
• Fish
• Mfi
• Ekporoko
• Oil
• Onion
• Ikpa (kpomo)
• Maggi
• Salt
• With any swallow of your choice.

• Afang

'Afang' as it called by the ibibio / Efik people, and Okazi by the Igbo people, is one of the most loved and sort after delicacy. Almost if not every home has it leave planted at the backyard, to harvest it anytime need arises.

Research has it that Afang promote the production of healthy red blood cells. It is also rich in fiber.
I got the already slice Afang from the market, gave it out for grinding since I didn't want pound it with mortar. I then turn it into plate, so that it won't spoil because of heat.

Water leaf is one of the vegetables we use quiet often when thinking of preparing soup that is not okra or white soup. It is a good source of vitamins.
So I poured the water leaf into a basin of water and wash it as I select the bad leaves out. I did that two times to ensure that there is no sand attached to the leaves. Then I slice it into tiny pieces, pour water into it, rinse and squeeze the water out to reduce the fluid in it.

Meat is a fleshy part of an animal that one can use to prepare soup, stew, pepper soup etc. It is a complete protein food and it is important or growth and development.
And so I wash my meat thoroughly, put it in the pot, seasoned it with pepper, seasoning cubes and onions and then cook it for some minutes.
I then add my already washed Ikpa (kpomo) and ekporoko to the meat and continue cooking for few minutes, and I also add a little salt to it to taste.

The fish was also washed, sauced and cooked desperately.

After I had gotten my pot ready I poured my water leaf into it, cook for like 2 minutes, then I added my already cooked meat, kpomo, and ekporoko to it. And also the already cooked fish, and unshelled perewinkle were added to it too. I mixed everything together, and allow it to cook for some minutes.
Then I opened the pot, pour a small amount of water to it, add my pepper and obu mixture, seasoning cube, a little amount of salt to taste and of course my palm oil.

I covered the pot and allow it to cook for 5 minutes, afterwards I opened it and taste to know if everything is in the right proportion. Then I added my Afang, stir it very well to mix. So that my Afang can still be fresh, I allow it for just 2 minutes to cook, then I bring the pot down.
Wow! My Afang is ready. It can go with any swallow of your choice.
