Ingredients
Okra
Red Palm Oil
Fish (preferably Mackerel)
Ground Crayfish
Salt to taste
Vegetable: Nigerian pumpkin leaves or Spinach
(Washed & Frozen)
1 stock cube (Optional)
Before you cook Kiddies Okra Soup
Cut the okra fingers into tiny pieces. Grind the
crayfish. Wash the pumpkin leaves, if it is your
choice of vegetable, and cut into tiny pieces. If
you will use spinach, defrost and cut into tiny
pieces.
Wash, cut and boil the iced fish. Leave to cool
and debone.
Cooking Directions
1. Pour red palm oil in a clean dry pot and heat
to dissolve the oil if it is congealed. Add the
diced okra and start frying on medium heat,
add some fish stock (or water) from time to
time till you notice the okra start to draw.
This process should take a maximum of 5
minutes to avoid over-cooking the okra.
2. Now add the ground crayfish, the remaining
fish stock, pumpkin leaves, a pinch of salt
and the fish and stir well.
3. Cover the cooking pot and leave to simmer
for 5 minutes.
The soup is ready to be served with mashed
potatoes, Semolina or Pounded Yam
