How To Cook/Prepare Owo Soup

INGREDIENTS

• Goat meat or assorted meat
• Palm Oil
• Knorr cubes
• Potash
• Tomatoes
• Habanero pepper – ata rodo
• Smoked Fish

PREPARATION METHOD

• Boil and season your meat. Once they have sufficiently cooked with some stock left, add your blended tomatoes and pepper.
• Add the crayfish and smoked fish.
• Bring the contents of the pot to a gentle simmer.
• Dissolve potash about the size of half – 3 quarters of a Knorr cube in water and add to the pot and bring to the boil. The presence of the tomatoes, will mean it wouldn’t bubble up as much.
• Leave it to cook and in a few minutes, you will notice that the addition of the potash has caused the prior watery stock to thicken a little. Take it off the heat and let it cool down a little.
• Stir in Palm oil into the pot. The soup will thicken and the colour will change to a pale shade of yellowish orange
• Serve with green plantain (boiled or grilled) or boiled yam
