Ofe Onugbu Soup By Zinny. Sorry I’m posting just the end product of my ofe onugbu soup with banga. I’m not very good at patiently taking step by step pictures while cooking. The recipe explanation is clear enough to help during cooking.
Ingredients:
Palm fruit (Akwu, Banga)
Meat (I used Cow tripe and)
Cocoyam (Ede Orie)
Stock fish head
Dry Fish (Mangala)
Pepper
Dried Prawn (Opollo) or crayfish
Salt
Ogiri
Bitter leaf (Onugbu)
Cooking Method for ofe onugbu soup cooked with banga:
I washed my bitter leaf myself just to get a very fresh taste. Except you are lucky, most of the washed bitter leaf sold in the market in the city aren’t always fresh or well washed. Make sure you wash at least 5times, depending on the quantity to get a bitter free leaf.(Some people like a bit of bitterness though, just a bit).
Wash your banga and Cocoyam and put in a pot with water and put on fire to boil. Once the Banga gets really tender, You bring out separately and pound in a mortar until the skin comes of totally and you can clearly see the oiled nuts.
Banga washing tips
The trick in washing banga is speed. You need to extract the oil while its still hot. Some people wash the Banga with warm water. Wash your Banga while adding water little at a time to get the oil extract. Place the oil extract on fire and immediately add your meat(For some, they pre boil the meat. I don’t do this and its your choice to make).
The Cocoyam should
be well cooked by now. Remove the skin quickly by press the bottom and pound to get a very smooth paste. (For those who augment Banga with palm oil, you can incorporate the oil to the pounded cocoyam)
Next you add your stock fish, well washed with hot water and salt.
to dissolve quickly.
Finish cooking in low heat
Reduce heat and Leave to boil for about 15 mins and put off heat. Remember to taste for salt. Some people would add stock cube. Please don’t exceed one or two depending on the quantity of soup.(Ogiri is native stock). Soup shouldn’t be too thick or too watery. Enjoy deliucous ofe onugbu soup by Zinny.

Zinny I'm seriously salivating here o. I love bitter leaf soup too much.
Nice one Zinny. I also make my Bitter leave soup in this pattern, though I boil my beef first. The freshly extracted Palmoil from the Banga seeds makes this soup fresh and yummy.
