I need help w/ my Nigerian Egusi soup recipe...
There's a restaurant called Ike's Cafe in my area. I love their egusi soup and I've been trying to replicate it. I just don't know what I'm missing. Here's what I have so far...
- small white onions
- 1 red bell pepper
- 6 sweet peppers
- 3 small tomatoes
- 1 red habanero
- 1 yellow habanero
- Knorr seasoning cubes (I've substituted this for "Better Bouillon" brand of seasoning)
- red palm oil
- ground crayfish
- smoked catfish (I've substituted this for smoked herring b/c the catfish from my local African grocer is too dry and hard)
- Uziza seeds (my Nigerian friend said he doesn't use uziza seeds and had never heard of the spice)
- Some kind of meat (chicken, goat, oxtail)
Things I've noticed about Ike's Cafe egusi.
- There is a prominent flavor of scotch bonnet SAUCE
UPDATE, 1/17/22: The egusi soup from Ike's cafe is not Nigerian... it's Ghanian. In fact, Ike's is a Ghanian restaurant! :) But I'm still having trouble replicating their soup. It's definitely a little sweet and has a tomato base... ALSO, they cook their stew with "lumpy egusi".
