Ingredients
- 200 g ewedu leaves
- ½ tsp powdered potash
- 1 cup water
- salt to taste
- 1 seasoning cube
- Locust beans (Iru)
- 2 tsp ground crayfish
Amala Lafun
- 400 g cassava flour
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Ewedu Soup
- Nicely pick just the leaves (no stem allowed), then go ahead and wash properly with a lot of water to remove any sand left on it.
- Pour 1.5 cups of water to a cooking pot and heat to boiling point, add the potash, locust beans and condiments. Add washed ewedu leaves, cook for 7-10 minutes.
- Then use the cooking broom to mash (more like pound) continuously inside the pot, this will turn the leaves to tiny bits after mashing for about five minutes.
- Alternatively, You can also transfer into a blender and pulse twice, I think this way is easier and better. That was how I made the soup above, couldn’t find the ewedu broom.
- Serve Ewedu plus stew and meat with Amala Lafun
Amala Lafun
- In a pot, boil two cups of water.
- On a medium heat, pour in cassava flour and stir and turn with a wooden spatula. Keep turning until it is smooth and not lumpy.
