Hello Everyone.
I hope we are all doing great.

I am very glad to take part in this wonderful content organized by @steemitfoods and @alikoc07 it’s being sponsored by one of renowned professors @gbenga. Not to forget our hardworking Africa representative @ngoenyi for Her words of encouragement and her good moderation.

Now back to the main business, T. Z and kuoka soup is the most delicious traditional food in the part of Ghana where I come from . That’s the upper west region Wa.
Some people in the northern region to do prepare T. Z but it’s origin is form Wa.

During our forefathers time, the kuoka soup was given to the sick people who weren’t having enough blood because of its nutritional content.
It is the only soup with no added chemical.
That’s makes the meal very delicious.

Ingredients used in preparation.

1. Tomatoes
2. Onions
3. Kuoka or Dry leaves
4. Dawadawa
5. Small small fish ( yorooyoroo)
6. Maggie
7. Salt
8. Beef
9. Corn flour
10. Cassava flour

Let’s have a look at the ingredients in pictures.

Tomatoes

Onions

(Kuoka)

Dawadawa

Small small fish (yorooyoroo)

Fried beef

Corn flour

Cassava flour

Salt and Maggie

Now, we are set to go , let’s first prepare our soup.
The fish and the dawadawa are mixed and pounded together with a help of a mortar and pestle but not into powdered form .

So we will be getting something like this . A small amount of water is heated in our saucepan and the pounded fish and dawadawa is poured into .

The tomatoes and onions are blended together with the help of a blender or any gadget .

The blended tomatoes and onions are also added to the fish and dawadawa and the content is put on fire .

We no add our fried beef and everything is allowed to boil for some number of minutes.

After some number of minutes of intense boiling we can now add our main ingredient which is the kuoka
A ladle full of the kuoka is then fetched and put into the soup . Before that some small amount of water is added to reduce the boiling so as the kuoka to be able to mix up well.

How the puting of the kuoka into the soup looks like.
The soup is allowed to boil for only 5 minutes the it’s ready to be served

Now let’s prepare our tuozaafi that’s T. Z
A clean saucepan is taken and some amount of water in poured into and heated till it boils .

Whiles we wait for the water to boil, the corn flour here I am using yellow corn but any corn can be used is mixed with water thoroughly until all the lumps are crashed well.

Small quantity is poured into our boiling water until it becomes thick like porridge.
It’s aging allowed for some minutes then it starts to boil .

When it boils for some time the stirring can now begin. But before we start , some amount of the porridge is fetched down which will later be added to the T. Z

In starting the stirring process the rest of the mixed corn flour with water is poured into the porridge like T. Z and stirred very well.

Then the cassava flour is added and also stirred until all the lumps are crashed well.

After some minutes of stirring until all the lumps are being crashed, the fetched down porridge is poured back into the T. Z and stirred for some minutes. The reason for fetching the porridge down is to reduce the content of the T. Z so as to be able to crash all the lumps very well.

Now our T. Z and kuoka soup is ready to be served.
I hope with my shared recipe on the most delicious traditional food it will be tried by some of us in this wonderful community.
