Actually, this is my first food presentation the community with so much love and passion for food.
This food is mostly loved by those in the Eastern part of Nigeria.
With no much time to waste, lets go in deep.
Follow closely till the end and make your comment.
Ingredients that matters
Bitterleaf
Waterleaf
Melon
Canda
Fish
Periwinkle
Oil
Pepper, salt, onions, maggi, and other spices..
These are my very useful ingredients for the preparation of this meal.
Further breakdown, preparation process.
So many shot i couldn't take because i had to rush up.
This is the main leaf so i take it seriously. Wash the bitterleaf very well. So many love their bitterleaf to be very bitter while some like to wash off the bitterness. This is as you want.
In here now, i bought this already washed and all i will do is to wash it again, squeeze off the water, and then i slice it.
I love preparing my stuffs first before getting into the cooking.
Likewise, you wash it thoroughly and slice it too. Make it tiny as you can, be careful of thy hands..
This is how tiny i could cut mine
This are the ingredients that you have to wash also very well, lest you may not enjoy the food because of sand or particles of the Periwinkle.
In brief, these are my already prepared ingredients, hope you understand it well.
Yes when all is done
Set my cooking gas on,
Put my pot on it, steam my canda, fish and Periwinkle very well, to make it have some sweet taste..
Then after steaming, pour my waterleaf into it and cover it, allowing it to steam properly and boil, while you apply the oil.
When it boils well, i apply all spices and every other thing including the melon, then let it steam well
Am almost ready
What is left is to put the final leaf (bitterleaf)
It is completely boiled, am stirring it together to enable good mixture.
Taste to know if it is okay (mmmm, tasty) as you so desire.
Lastly
I put my bitterleaf and then leave it to steam a little and boom, its done!
My soup is ready....yummy
Dished into plate to be served and some to be preserved in the refrigerator..
I love to use fufu to eat it. Its your choice of what to use to eat it.
Some make use of garri and some fufu...
This is my prepared soup to be dealt with now... Lolzz. (care to join?)
Thanks very much for taking a look at it.
Hope you liked it?
