Apparently I Love Eba

So, apparently I love Eba cos here it is again. This time its "featured" with Ogbono. The Ogbono was made in a hurry cos we got stuck in traffic (as usual) and got home pretty late. The Ogbono ended up being a little too watery cos I used too much water, but we landed on it anyways :)

Ogbono Recipe Below:


Ogbono: 

Ingredients
Ground Ogbono Seeds
2 - 3 Table Spoons of Ground Cray Fish
Cooked Assorted Meat: Beef, Goat Meat, Cow Leg, Shaki, Pomo, Chicken or any other meat of your choice (cut in small chunks)
Dried Fish Chunks
A handful of Chopped Pumpkin Leaves (Ugwu)
Three table spoons of Palm Oil
Stock Cube
Salt 
Dried Ground Pepper or Fresh Chopped Scotch Bonnets (Ata Rodo)
Chicken or Beef Stock (Chicken or Meat Water as we call it)

Directions:
1. Pour the stock into a pot and boil
2. Once it starts boiling, add the palm oil then the ground ogbono seeds, ground crayfish, and pepper
3. Allow it to boil for another 5 minutes. Test the consistency of the ogbono by scooping out some of the ogbono mix and pouring it back into the pot. If it looks too watery/thick, add some more dried ogbono/water till you get your desired consistency.
4. Allow to boil for a further 15 minutes then add the cooked assorted meats and dried fish.
5. Allow to boil for another 15 minutes then taste. If required add salt, stock cube, more pepper etc 
6. Add the Ugwu
7. Let the Ogbono cook on low heat for another 10 mins and voila… You are done 

Result: Ok
Difficulty Level: Easy cos I had pre-cooked all the meats
Making it Again? Yup! It's in constant rotation
