Egusi With Fish/chicken/beef Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Egusi Mixture

   In a bowl, blend the egusi seeds to a fine powder. Mix with a little water to form a thick paste and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Protein

   In a pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the tilapia (or chicken/beef) and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Soup Base

   In the same pot, add the egusi paste. Stir well and let it cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
