Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Egusi Mixture

Grind the egusi seeds into a fine powder. In a bowl, mix the powdered egusi with a little water to form a thick paste. Set aside.

2. Cook the Base

In a large pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the chopped bell pepper and scotch bonnet pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the Egusi

Stir in the egusi paste and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

4. Add the Broth

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add salt, black pepper, and seasoning cubes. Stir well.

5. Cook the Red Snapper

Gently add the red snapper fillets into the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

6. Finish with Greens

Stir in the spinach or bitter leaf and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Serve

Serve the egusi soup hot, garnished with additional spinach or bitter leaf if desired.
