Nigeria is no longer in the World Cup and several husbands have relaxed (somewhat) their holds on the remote controls.
Now that most wives are no longer in danger of having their heads bitten off for passing in front of the television set, it’s time to cook something heavy for him again.
Moving away from the light meals and finger foods of the past couple of weeks, let’s get back to feeding our households with something ‘proper naija’.
Oha/ora is an indigenous Nigerian soup with origins from the Igbo of South East Nigeria.
INGREDIENTS
Oha leaves
7 medium-sized cocoyam Meat (chicken, assorted, beef, goat meat, turkey)
Dry fish
2 stock cubes
2 cups Crayfish
A handful of Uziza leaves (optional)
Stock fish
1 cup palm oil
Salt and fresh pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Peel and wash the cocoyam with water and cook until it is soft then pound with a mortar and pestle until the paste is smooth.
Pound the crayfish and pepper, wash the dry fish with warm water.
Wash and chop uziza leaves, wash and shred oha/ ora leaves with your fingers (it is believed that if you use a knife to chop the oha/ora leaves, it will make the soup bitter or spoil the taste of the soup).
Spice and parboil meat and stock fish, allow to cook until tender.
Add more water then add red oil (palm oil), ground crayfish, maggi, salt and pepper to taste.
Stir and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
Add the pounded cocoyam, stir to get rid of any lumps.
Allow to cook for about 7 minutes, then add uziza leaves, cook for two minutes and add oha/ora leaves.
Stir and cook for another 2 minutes and sweetheart, your oha/ora soup is done! Serve with eba, fufu, wheat or pounded yam.
