FOOD INSPIRATION FRIDAYS; AFRICAN DISH-EWEDU SOUP

-

Hallo TTB Fam,

Today on Food inspiration fridays i am going to be talking about how to prepare a Nigerian delicacy called the ewedu soup. This soup which is  popular with the yoruba speaking people of Nigerian is one soup that you will definitely  enjoy eating (whispers; it can turn you into a foodie you have been warned!!!) 

Ingredients
Ewedu leaves (corchorus olitorius) 300g
1/2 teaspoon of powdered potash
1.5 cups of water
Ewedu Broom or a blender
Salt to taste
Maggi (1 or 2 cubes)
Chilly Pepper to taste
4-5 spoons of ground crayfish

How to prepare(Modus operandi-lolzz) 

Nicely pick just the leaves (no stem allowed), then go ahead and wash properly with a lot of water to remove any sand left on it.

Pour 1.5 cups of water to a cooking pot and heat to boiling point, add the washed ewedu leaves, soak the half teaspoon of potash in half cup of water and filter into the pot (to soften the leaves), cook for 7-10 minutes.

Then use the cooking broom to mash (more like pound) continuously inside the pot, this will turn the leaves to tiny bits after mashing for about five minutes.

Alternatively, You can also transfer into a blender and pulse a couple of times, I think this way is easier and better. That was how I made the soup above, couldn’t find the ewedu broom.

Transfer back to the pot and add the ground crayfish, maggi, salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for just five minutes and you are done with making ewedu soup.

Serve ewedu soup plus stew and meat with either amala, eba, semo or pounded yam, the exact way a Yoruba man would love it.( SOURCE: ALLNIGERIANFOOD.COM)

  That's all this week on food inspiration fridays see you next week..... I hope you enjoy preparing this meal!!!

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

-

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
