Before
you cook Gbegiri Soup
Ensure you have some Beef & Chicken Stew because the beef for the Gbegiri Soup comes from this
stew.
Remove the beans coat and soak the beans for about 3 hours. This soaking
makes the beans soft so that it cooks in less time. This way there will be no
need to use potash to cook the beans. If you are using peeled and dried beans,
you will need to soak it overnight.
Prepare other ingredients: pound/blitz the pepper and grind the
crayfish.
Cooking
Directions
Put the peeled and soaked beans into a sizeable pot. Pour water to
cover the beans and start cooking at medium heat.
While the beans is cooking, prepare the Ewedu Soup which is used
to eat the Gbegiri Soup.
Cook the beans till they become so soft that it practically melts
when you mash it with your fingers. This takes about 1 hour. You will need to
top up the water from time to time but make sure the water is always at the
same level as the beans. This ensures that you have just the right amount of
water in the soup when the beans is done.
When the beans is well done and soft, blend it. It is not
advisable to blend hot food in blenders with plastic jugs so if your blender
has a plastic jug, seive the soft beans with a sieve that has a mire mesh.
Pour the beans into a pot and set back on the stove, add the
smoked fish, salt, pepper, crayfish, stock cube and palm oil.
Cover the pot and cook at low heat for about 5 minutes or till the
oil blends with the rest of the ingredients. This is when the oil changes from
red to yellow.
Stir from time to time so it does not burn.
That's it! The Gbegiri Soup is done.
