Its fast and easy to cook, which is why we decided to cook it this weekend, after missing its yummy taste for a long time.

As you can see, I will be cooking mine with crayfish. Crayfish has a unique taste when mixed in meals and gives out a lovely aroma.

  • Wash and Boil your meat with salt
  • Add your blended Ogbono seeds into the boiled meat water, with your meat in it.

  • Add your red oil
  • Add little quantity of water to reduce the thickness of the ogbono
  • Cover your pot and leave to heat for 5 to 7mins.

Your Ogbono soup is ready. I'm having mine with Semovita. Ogbono soup goes well with Fufu/Eba/Wheat/Semovita/Amala/Pounded Yam.

I hope this tutorial was insightful, happy cooking.
