Cooking procedure for ogbono and okra soup.
OGBONO AND OKRA SOUP COOKING PROCEDURE
The step by step cooking pictures (below) on this post are self explanatory.
- Start with pressure cooking the meat seasoned with salt, pepper, seasoning cubes and onion. After that, the stock is emptied into
another pot and used to to make the soup.
- A tablespoon of palm oil is added, just one o. Too much oil in soups doesn’t taste good because palm oil on it’s own has no great taste sef.
- The ogbono and ground crayfish came in when the stock started boiling.
- Smoked fish followed
- Okro and uziza leaves came in last. Uziza is a major ingredient in ogbono and okra soup. Check for taste and doneness before turning off the heat. This soup goes well with ALL forms of swallow; Eba, amala, semo, wheat, millet, akpu, guinea corn, maize (Tuwo), Rice flour fufu and even plantain fufu. Can be cooked with just crayfish or fish alone and will still taste great.

yummy yummy yum yum,please do you prepare your millet flour by your self or you bought already prepared flour?if prepared by you,is there any other flour u mixed it with for it not to be stiff/hard.
Thanks FT. I buy millet joro)from the market, clean and take to the mill, that's all. Nothing is added to make it fluffy though sometimes I just add any other flour like guinea corn, or maize flour but it makes no difference. Once I left it open in the pot without scooping and wrapping up,by the time I came to serve, it was cold and hard. That's why I immediately wrap in cellophane bags and keep warm until I'm ready to serve.
