Method

  1. Blend the tomatoes and pepper to a paste.
  2. Combine the meat, onions, seasoning cube, and salt in a pot. Cook for about 3 minutes in its own juices.
  3. Cover meat with water, and simmer until tender.
  4. Add the dried fish, tomato-pepper paste, and ground crayfish to the meat. Add about a cup of water and stir. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
  5. Dissolve the potash powder in 4 tablespoons of hot water. Strain the mixture carefully, and mix the liquid into the soup.
  6. Turn off the heat, and allow the soup to cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. Return to the heat, and gradually stir in the palm oil.
  8. Remove from the heat, and serve with plantains, yam, or any swallow of choice.
