Igbagba Ofofo

What we know so far

Igbagba ofofo (also gbagbafo) is the Urhobo okra pepper soup of Delta State: a light, oil-free broth spiced like pepper soup, with fresh fish, shrimp and sometimes periwinkle poached in it, and chopped okra stirred in at the last minute so it stays green and only lightly draws. Unlike the palm-oil okro soups of the rest of the country it has no oil at all, which is why Warri and Sapele people eat it with starch or yellow garri and boiled plantain and call it the healthy one. Goat meat or mutton can stand in for fish, and scent leaf or ugu goes in at the end.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
