Efo riro is a Nigerian traditional vegetable soup with its origin in the Yoruba-speaking part of the country. Efo riro is incomplete without locust beans and palm oil. The best vegetables suitable for this recipe are efo tete or efo shoko.
Start cooking the shaki first with as little water as possible as it is the toughest meat in the bunch. This soup should have as little water as possible so add small amounts of water at a time and top it up as you cook.
When the saki starts to curl, add the dry fish and stockfish..
When the saki is almost done, add beef, your preferred tasty Terra Cubes flavour, some of the onions and cook till all the meat and fish are well done, set these aside.
In another pot, pour the palm oil and heat it up. Once hot, add the remaining onions.
Fry the tatashe peppers till there's no more water in it. This should take about 15 minutes.
Add the locust beans, crayfish, and stir very well.
Add the cooked meat and fish, stir very well.
Add the vegetables, stir very well, cover and once it heats up again, add salt to taste and take the pot off the stove.
Enjoy your Tasty Efo riro Soup with any swallow of your choice.
