4 medium size Tomato
4 medium size Scotch bonnet pepper( or pepper to taste)
1 cooking spoon of palm oil
11/2 cooking spoons finely chopped Ewedu
1 table spoon ground Egusi (previously roasted seeds)
2 cooking spoons Onion ( chopped)

2. blend your tomatoes pepper and onion with little water
3.heat oil and fry onions in it
4. wash your iru
5, Pick the Ewedu wash and chop into very tiny shreds. It will require that you chop the vegetable by hitting the vegetable severally with a knife until it is very finely chopped. I will not recommend blending as we don’t really want a paste.
6, When meat is almost cooked, pour in the oil and onion and the blended tomato/ pepper/onion and continue cooking for about 15 minutes. Taste to be sure the sourness of the tomato is off.
7, Correct the seasoning, add the Ewedu , iru and Egusi and cook for about 3 minutes, and soup is ready.
8, Serve hot with ‘ swallow ‘of choice.......... ENJOY
