PREPARING PUMPKIN LEAVES SOURCE by @specialgift.

Hello everyone,

I'm delighted to share with you one of my favorite dishes, pumpkin leave sauce or simply vegetable sauce.

In Nigeria, especially in the igbo culture, this leaf is locally referred to as "ugu".

• Health Benefit of Pumpkin Leaves
  These leaves are loaded with vitamin A, C, calcium, and iron

They also increase fertility, fights against cancer, lowers cholesterol, fights diabetes, prevents infections, tackles convulsion and it is anti-ageing agent.

With these health benefits you would agree with me that this meal is so nitritous and healthy.

INGREDIENTS

• Pumpkin leaves

• Cent leaves

• Fresh tomatoes

• One bulb of onion, fresh pepper, 5 cubes of seasoning

• 1/2 kilogram of fresh fish

• (crayfish) dried shrimps

*palm oil

PROCEDURES

Step 1
Let's dice and prepare our ingredients.

We'd wash and season our fish

Allow to steam for just 5 minutes

We'd get our tomatoes diced

Onion diced

We'd wash and slice the pumpkin leaves and cent leaves together

We are grinding the fresh pepper and crayfish together

Step 2
Let's cook!

Place the empty pot on the fire

Add palm oil

Allow it to steam

Add onion and stir

Add fresh tomatoe and stir

Allow to steam for some minutes

Let's add the grinded pepper and crayfish

Allow to steam

Let's add salt to taste and seasoning

Stir and allow to steam

Add the water from the steamed fish

Allow to steam. This is how it looks like when it's steamed

Then let's add our pumpkin leaves and cent leaves.

Don't allow the leaves to boil for long, its more nutritous and healthy when it's fresh.
