There are different ways of cooking the egusi"melon"soup commonly eaten in african and i will be using the fried method , this is one of the easiest way of cooking this soup. First of all i will list out the ingredient needed
The melon'egusi' grinded seed , red palm oil ,beef or shaki(cow tripe), or dry fish or stockfish , pepper , salt , vegetable(bitter leaf ,spinach).
Before you start cooking egusi soup you have to grind your dry or fresh pepper, then rinse the vegetables to be used and cut into tiny pieces, then you cook the beef and fish till it well done,you should start cooking the toughest meat and fish first and add others as they get done and soft.
Then pour the red oil into a dry pot and set on steve to heat , as soon as the oil melts or hot add the grinded egusi and start frying , mix the ground egusi'melon' with oil until it turns yellow. Keep stir-frying about 10mins.
Add the water from cooking the fish and meat little by little while it stirring the egusi'melon'.
If your choice of vegetable is bitter leaf , add it at this point, cover the pot for 20min ,top up the water when necessary , it takes 30mins to cook egusi soup properly else it wouldn't taste nice . Once it done add the pepper , spinach , stir very well then you add your meat and fish, add salt if necesssary , then you cover it for some few mins and it done.
I'm waiting to see people who tried this out.
and also be waiting for your comment and feedbacks.
