Saturdays! In my father's house, I always hated Saturdays because there was so much work, cleaning, errands and cooking to do but now, I don't hate it so much because I fell in love with cooking, not just cooking though, I now love the chores but before I deviate, let me show you how I made this lovely Nigerian dish.  ##### Ingredients - Ofor - Uziza leaf - Dry fish - Crayfish - Prawns π¦ - Palm oil - Stockfish - Esam (Periwinkle) - seasoning cubes - Salt - Oha Leaf - Goat Meat (or any protein of your choice) - Fresh pepper Now, for a brief intro before I go into how I made this. Oha soup originated from the [Igbo tribe in Nigeria](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people), the [Oha Leaf](https://shop.africanfoodsupermarket.com/products/oha-leaves#:~:text=Oha%20leaves%20are%20the%20edible,%2C%20copper%2C%20zinc%20and%20manganese.) is known for its culinary and medical use, thinking of it, it's not really the main ingredient in this soup but it's called Oha soup, let's dive right into it. ##### Preparation. Before cooking, I steamed my meat with seasoning cubes and salt, and washed all my ingredients. After steaming the meat till it got soft, I proceeded to add the stockfish, dry fish and pepper. After letting it boil for a while, I added the Esam (periwinkle) and prawns because they soft easily, it's not good to put them early.       After putting all that and stirring, I gently added the Ofor while stirring, I poured it in slowly and stirred so I'd know when it was thick enough (also, this soup is not supposed to be very thick so I had to take note) I used Ofor here because it suits what I wanted but for thickeners, ingredients like cocoyam, flour and cornstarch can be used. I added my seasoning cubes, salt and Uziza leaf, after letting it boil for a while, I added palm oil and the Oha Leaf. I added the Oha Leaf last because it's a very soft leaf that doesn't take much time to get soft especially if it's very fresh.     > Oha Leaf, Fresh  > After cutting (it is said that, cutting with hand instead of knife is better)  After letting it boil, I brought it down, made poundo yam and dished it. This is the end product. βΊοΈ    Thank you for stopping by π€ Before you go.......... These are some other foods I prepared this week π
