JAB SUNDAY KITCHEN: DELICACY: How to prepare Okro tomato pepper soup

By


This is one of the my favourite soups. I usually add tomato to the soup to give it a bit of body. Apart from the spicy nature of the soup, I love the nutritional benefits of okro as well.

Okro is a great source of fibre and helps with bowel movement. It is also great for detoxifying the liver and a rich source of vitamin A.

Enjoy this okro tomato pepper soup as a meal on it’s own or with some plantain fufu. You may choose to add some fish to your soup but I chose beef and snail.

Ingredients

*Seven pieces of beef
Four pieces of snail
20 fingers of okro (chopped)

*One tomato

*Half red bell pepper

*Three yellow peppers

*One quarter bulb of onion

*One tablespoon of blended pepper soup spices

*Half cup of crayfish pieces

*One quarter cup of crayfish head
*Seasoning cubes

*One teaspoon of dry pepper

Preparation

Step 1: Season your beef with seasoning cubes, onion and the teaspoon of dry pepper . Bring to boil in a pot of water till the beef is halfway cooked. Add water as needed.

Step 2: Wash your snails and add to the pot when the beef is halfway cooked so the snail could be soft as well but not too soft.

Step 3: Add your grounded pepper soup spices to the pot and reduce the heat to medium heat.

Step 4: Wash your crayfish pieces and crayfish head. Place them in separate bowls.

Step 5: Blend your tomato, pepper, and crayfish head with a quarter cup of water.

Step 6: Pour the blended tomato, pepper and crayfish into the pot of meat and snails. Stir in and at this point, add the crayfish pieces.

Step 7: Add your chopped okro, stir for a minute and immediately take off the fire so the okro is not overcooked. There would be just enough heat in the pot to steam the okro.

And.....??? Oh is it Steaming? HELL YEAH!!

A burglar who was caught attempting to rape a 94-year-old deaf and blind woman has been jailed for 14 years. Gregory Willis, who had already removed the grandmother’s lower nightclothes was caught kneeling on the woman’s bed without his trousers on. The judge who presided over the case described Willis’ action as “deeply shocking, horrifying and appalling as could possibly be imagined.” According to Daily Mail, Judge John Pini added, “The victim is 94 years of age. She had not long before this left a nursing home to be cared for in a safe, loving environment for the remaining time of her life. “She was registered blind, hard of hearing, had no short term memory, had poor balance and was doubly incontinent. She could not communicate. She was as frail and vulnerable as it is possible to be.’ The the victim’s son-in-law told the Daily Mail after the sentencing that he was ‘shocked and stunned that somebody could intend on doing such a thing’. The victim, who was so frail she...
