Ingredients
- 3 ounces stock fish optional
- 1 pound goat meat cubes
- 1.5 pounds smoked turkey wings
- 14 ounces ground egusi
- 3 ounces bitter leaf measured defrosted
- 2 tablespoons palm oil
- 2 ounces crayfish ground
- 1 yellow onion half finely chopped, other half for blending.
- 3 scotch bonnet peppers adjust to spice tolerance
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
- 1 tablespoon paprika smoked
- 3 ounces spinach fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Blend ½ of the yellow onion and all the peppers. Set aside for later.
- Using 5 cups of water, cook the stock fish, goat cubes, and smoked turkey until tender. This should take about 60-90 minutes. Add water sparingly if the meat needs more time to cook.
- In another pot, heat palm oil and chopped onions on low heat for a few seconds before adding the ground egusi.
- Add in the ground crayfish, bouillon, and paprika. Roughly mix everything.
- Then add the assorted cooked meat and its stock. Mix in the blended pepper and bitter leaf at this time.
- After 5 minutes, add spinach and turn off the heat. Give everything a good mix.
- Add more water if it is too thick, and adjust the salt and pepper content to your liking.
- Remove from stove and enjoy!
