Ager Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh ager leaves
• 2 tablespoons palm oil
• 0.4 kg beef, rinsed
• 1 smoke-dried catfish, rinsed
• 2 teaspoons nune (locust bean cake)
• 1 Maggi cube
• 3 fresh bell peppers, blended
• 5 medium tomatoes, blended
• 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Steps

1. 1

   Scrape off the white flaky skin of the ager stalk. Pound gently for a few minutes to remove the ager pulp.

2. 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. 3

   Heat a little water in a pot, and add the ager juice.

4. 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. 5

   Add nune, maggi cubes, and salt to taste.

6. 6

   Serve with swallows as desired.
