Here's some info about ogbono: Ogbono soup is a traditional Nigerian soup where “ogbono” represents the inner kernels of the wild African mango, and when cooked has a viscous, glutinous texture(termed “draw”soup), and a nutmeg colour. Besides the ogbono seeds, water and oil, the soup typically contains leaf vegetables, other vegetables, seasonings, and meat. Typical leaf vegetable include bitter leaf and ugwu. Typical other vegetables include okra, and for some tastes, tomatoes. Typical meats include beef, goat, fish, chicken, bushmeat shrimp or crayfish, stockfish and the ever-popular tripe. It can be eaten with pounded yam, eba, amala etc or with rice. (rice?? sounds yummy. . . ) Here's a helpful recipe too. . . lkg/ 21b assorted meats (oxtail, tripe, ponmo & bushmeat) 450g/llb stock fish(pre-soaked) 450g / llb dried fish (washed) 225g / 8oz whole dry prawns (cleaned) 225g / 8oz ground ogbono seeds 225g/8oz ground crayfish 25g / 8oz ground pepper 25g / loz iru I medium onion 290ml /10 fl oz palmoil 3pt stock or water salt to taste Washed the assorted meats thoroughly and place in a pot. Add the sliced onions, ground pepper and some stock or water. Cook for 30 minutes. Add the washed smoked fish and stockfish, cook for a further 10-15 minutes adding a drop of water or stock as needed to stop it from burning. In another pot, heat the oil and fry the ground seeds for 3 minutes to bring out the nutty flavour. Gradually add the stock and whisk until it draws and bubbles. Add the cooked meats peppers and crayfish. Dissolve the locust bean in a little stock and add to the soup. Allow to simmer for another 10 minutes, check seasoning and serve hot with pounded yam. VARIATIONS OGBONO SOUP WITH BITTER LEAF 225g / 8oz washed bitter leaf added to main recipe OGBONO SOUP WITH UGWU 500g / llb shredded ugwu leaves added to main recipe. You can also add mushroom and Okro to this soup to give it a diffrerent flavour PS---I love ogbono but I'll be the first to admit it's not very photogenic - or I'd have put up a picture. Nevertheless, it looks good and tastes good "on ground" as my warfi people will say . As for egusi soup, make the egusi lovers post their own |
