How to Prepare Owo Soup - My Style

Today am going to teach you how to make one of my favourite meals. If you are from Edo State, Benin precisely and also from Delta state, you will attest to the fact that Owo soup is actually very delicious and tasty. Some eat it with starch while others eat it with Yam or unripe plaintain. I love eating it with Plantain. *wink*
Alright enough of the  talk, let me tell you how to make it.
Ingredients

  • Palm Oil
  • Potash
  • Tomatoes
  • pepper
  • Onion
  • snail 
  • dry fish
  • Seasoning
  • Salt
  • Unripe Plaintain or yam
  • beef 
  • Pumpkin 
How to cook it;
Step 1- wash your beef and then put on fire to cook, add your Maggi, salt and slice your onion into it.

Step 2- While your meat is cooking, break your snail and wash it with Alum, then when its clean enough put it on fire in a separate pot to cook as well.

Step 3- Blend your tomatoes, pepper and onions together

Step 4- Get your clean pot and pour in the blended tomatoes

Step 5- Add your cooked meat and slightly cooked snail to the tomatoes already boiling

Step 6: Add your washed smoked fish and cover the pot for 3 minutes

Step 7: Take your potash and pour into the boiling sauce. Please not too much potash, the size of your tomato sauce will determine the amount of potash you put into it.

Step 8- Don't cover the pot, leave it open on fire to cook for another 4 minutes

Step 9- Add your Pumpkin vegetable 

Step 10- Bring it down and allow it to cool down

Step 11- Once you noticed its cool, take your palm oil and pour three cooking spoon of oil into it and stir until it becomes think

Voila, your owo soup is ready

For me i love taking it with Plantain, what i do is that i boil my plantain with the green back. i don't peel it. you can try it out.
