INTRODUCTION

Good day my dear fellow women, it's me @patience90 and I brought you my recipe for fresh Okra with Ugwu leaves and Ogbono Soup.
Sit and relax while I take you to my kitchen.

INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION

Washed my okra with salt and slice it.

Then I pounded it in the mortar

	I also grinded my Ogbono into powder

I also washed my Ugwu leaves with water and salt then sliced it

	I washed my fresh fish, added 3 cubes of seasoning, and parboiled it on the fire and then kept it aside

	Also pounded my dawadawa and pepper and kept aside

Set my dried pot on the fire, added palm oil and allowed to heat

	After heating the oil, I added my already grinded Ogbono into the hot oil

	I allowed for 2 minutes then I added water, onion, dawadawa, pepper and seasoning cubes

When the water started boiling, I added my pounded Okra into it

	I allowed it to boil for 10 minutes while I constantly stir it and I finally added my parboiled fish

After 2 minutes, I added my sliced Ugwu leaves and cover for 1 minute before bringing the my pot of soup down

Finally, my pot of soup is ready for consumption

NOTE:

• I added my Ogbono into the heated oil to enable it soak to avoid coagulation.
• My soup can be used to eat a special solid delicacy in Nigeria called swallow
  It could be made from Garri, cornflour, wheat or tuwon rice.
• Ogbono is a tree found in the eastern part of Nigeria and that produces Ogbono seed
• Okra is planted all of Nigeria and it's used to prepare soup
• Ugwu leaves are vegetables found in the garden
• Dawadawa is the seeds of locust beans that is processes into dawadawa for cooking

My soup and swallow
