Good evening dear friends, my name is Ezinne Debi fondly called deboski and this is my second time posting because I am new to the group.
I hail from uburu in Ohaozara LGA Ebonyi state Nigeria and I base in Nnobi Anambra State Nigeria. I will be posting about my food journeys and cravings because I am a lover of good food.

So yesterday I was craving ogbonor soup so I decided to make it because why not? I had ogbonor at home and it's a Nigerian popular soup and very easy to make

I first of all washed my proteins (beef and cow skin locally called pomo but pronounced kpomo)
I seasoned with onion, salt and knor maggi.

  1. Crayfish
  2. Dry cameroon pepper
  3. Salt
  4. Knorr maggi
  5. Palm oil
  6. Grounded ogbonor
  7. Protein and
  8. Bitterleaf
    I parboiled and washed my bitterleaf and set aside to reduce the bitter taste from it.

Procedures
I placed a clean pot on the fire and fried my ogbonor a little to give it that flavour taste I desire

After frying for a few seconds I added my meat stock and stir then I added my seasoning and other ingredients

This is what it looks like.

I kept it down and cook water for garri (locally called eba) then I made my eba and enjoyed my meal.
