STEP 1

Before I start cooking, I started by washing the meat, cowskin, and stockfish and I season it with a little of onions, pepper, seasoning cubes and I steam it for it to Cook probably, then I wash my periwinkle and added to my proteins that is already cooked.

After steaming my meat, I wash my vegetable with clean water for like three times to avoid sand because of rain, after washing I slice my vegetable to become very tiny, I use a little salt to smash it.

Then I wash my water leaves very well with clean water and I slice to become tiny and I keep it aside.

Then I went ahead and grand my fresh pepper and Grayfish and I keep them aside.

Before cooking, I make sure the place was clean to avoid sand, and all my ingredients were well prepared and ready for cooking.

Step 2

I love frying my onions with red oil before cooking, I pot my clean pot of soup on fire, I added red oil and when the oil was hot, I added onions to it.

STEP 3

Then I added my grounded Grayfish and fresh pepper to the hot oil, and I added my proteins.

I let it cook for a while making sure that the oil and the protein was well mixed.

STEP4

At this stage, I will be adding water leaves, I do this because I want the soup to be very fresh.
When I added the water leaves and I stir it to make sure the food was tasting very well, I added 3 seasoning cubes and stirred it.

STEP 5

This was the final stage, I added vegetable and I stirred it immediately, making sure that all ingredients is well mixed and my soup was ready for consumption.

At this point, my soup is ready.
I deal with it with Garry though you can consume it with fofo or any swallow of your choice.

So guys this where I will stop today.
