It is a lovely contest. My favorite native Africa food is Ozeza Soup, that's why I choose cooking it.

. I will show you how I prepare a native Ozeza soup that me and my roommates eat yesterday.

Yesterday class was so intense that I became so hungry, I can't even understand what I was been taught anymore, I have to go home so I can find what to eat.

I went to mile 3 market to buy some food recipe.

Fish
Periwinkle
Meat
Native Ozeza
Onion, pepper, Maggie, salt.
Egwusi

Periwinkle

my fish, meat and onions

Those are the few ingredients I used although I didn't mention all of.

How I Started The Cook

It was so challenging on how to start but I got my way.
Firstly after washing my fish, meats and crayfish I put them on a gas cooker so I can steam it first. after some few minutes of boiling, I put some fresh pepper, onions, Maggie and salt, It boiled for about 15minutes before I brought it down.

Already steam fish and meats

Now I started frying my egwusi with Red oil, I fried it for about 5 minutes before I poured those fish and meats that I already steam.

poured my steam meat and fish to the fried Egwusi

I allowed the food to boil for some time before I now added one cube of Maggie with some pepper and salt. waited for some few minutes again before I put the remaining egwusi so that the soup will be thick and sweet☺️.

lastly I test the soup to check if it was okay ie if salt, pepper and Maggie was in appropriate quantity. After checking I now put my periwinkle and my Ozeza leave before I brought it down.

my soup

it was fast right?? that's because I couldn't wait any longer I was so hungry, when I finish the cooking I checked my time, it took me over an hour and some minutes.

Now my food is ready I boiled water so I could make some garri.

Boom!! everything is now set for eating. I eat and I was so happy and satisfied as well ☺️☺️.
