| a serving of okra soup with stewed chicken and fish |
Dear Diary,
This soup is very easy to cook and fast too. First,
I made sure that was done with cooking the chicken and making eba, before facing the okra soup.
It was super duper delicious! The aroma, sweet, the taste... heavenly.

Ingredients For This Okra Soup And The Chicken:

- water

| chicken cooks and fills the chicken with sweet aroma |
Cooking Steps For This Okra Soup And Chicken:
- The washed, salted chicken is put in a fry pan with some chopped onion. The heat is turned on.
- It boils, begins to look dry, so I add some vegetable oil by the sides of the pan, cover for four minutes, checked and turned the chicken over, added a little stew before covering to simmer.
- Chicken boils for another four minutes before the pan is put in the microwave oven for five minutes. Chicken is turned over and left for another five minutes before bringing out of the oven and putting on paper to drain oil
- Back to the soup:
- Washed and bone picked fish, seasoning, salt, crayfish and pepper are put in a pot with some water, slowly brought to a boil.
- I checked for salt before adding the stewed stock from the fry pan to the pot. checked again for salt and seasoning, Cover and bring again to a boil
- Finally I add the chopped okra with some chopped onion, covered for four minutes and turned off the heat.
- Served with soft garri..

| The eba was too big, couldn't clear the chicken, I prefer many smaller pieces of chicken, meat, to a BIG part. Large pieces of meat kind of turn me off |
Again, all I can say about this meal is super Duper Delicious!
Enjoy your lunch!

DeleteI noticed u didn't add oil, also I alwys grate my okro, can't it be achieved if I grate it? Or I rather chop wit knife, hoping to hear frm u soon cos dis is my dinner today
ReplyDeleteYou can grate, but please try not to over cook the okro.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't add palm oil, there's vegetable oil in the stewed chicken.
Yummy! I had this with fufu on Sunday! But mine was with stewed beef.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your take on adding utazi (I think, or uziza - I always get them mixed up. It's the leaf with the aroma). I like to add this to okro too cos of the taste and aroma. What other soups can one add it to?
I add uziza (hot leaf) sometimes too. It gives the soup a rich hot and spicy taste.
ReplyDeleteI can add uziza to draw soups, white soups and porridges. It just spices them up in a way.
Yes, Uziza! Thanks. The aroma and spicy taste does it for me cos I love spicy food.
DeleteAwwwwww am so hungry now! Can't wait to leave the office! Run to the market and back home to cook this!
ReplyDeletei just love the look of okra and this looks yummy. Really loving your blog.
