pls what is the spinach der, or another name its called so i can look for it in the market… thanks
You can actually use water leave if you have access to it or Ugu
If Afang is the same thing as Ukazi, does it not mean this is Ofe -Owerri soup as well? So how come there is no need for cocoyam in this one, as i saw in your Onugbu post that cocoyam was used..
I love this site cos you are not looking to make money out of it, just helping those that want to add a little spice to their cooking.
Thank you!!
Is there a substitute for the afang if i cant find it in Canada.
i’m a bit confused. is it the same pepper i added in step one that i add with the cray fish etc? or is it fresh peppers blended?
Yes it is.
Thanks for another great recipe. My husband says it’s better than the Calabar restaurant nearby!
hA!!! That is so so refreshing to hear..THANK HIM FOR US!!
