Method

  1. Scrape off the white flaky skin of the ager stalk. Pound gently for a few minutes to remove the ager pulp.
  2. Squeeze the pulp in a small amount of water to extract the slippery juice. Sieve this product to separate the juice from the fibres.
  3. Heat a little water in a pot, and add the ager juice.
  4. Add the palm oil, blended pepper, blended tomato, beef, and fish. Cook for few minutes, stirring continuously until an elastic consistency is achieved.
  5. Add nune, maggi cubes, and salt to taste.
  6. Serve with swallows as desired.
