Waiting for a cook
Nigeria · Delta State (Urhobo, Isoko, Itsekiri)
Owho is the yellow soup of the Urhobo and their Delta neighbours: assorted meat, dried fish and snails in a broth thickened with garri and starch, coloured and enriched with palm oil that has been curdled with potash into a thick yellow paste. It smells of uda, crayfish and native oil, and it is eaten with boiled yam, plantain or, most of all, Delta starch and yellow garri. It is a dish that older Urhobo cooks judge each other by.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
