N.B: I used shredded beef, pomo, and baby tilapia to spice the soup up because that is what was available in my freezer. You can use whatever you choose to. Using dried prawns would give you a wonderful version of Efo Riro

  2. I feel the efo riro would not be complete with using locust beans, iru woro. It brings out good aroma which is inviting for the efo.and come to think about it, tilapia fish is so bony, wldnt the bones make the efo dangerous to eat?*wink*

  3. No, it wasn't soaked. I just washed, and kept in the freezer. On the day I cooked this, I brought it out and took a little part of it.
