Cooking Instructions

50mins
  1. 1

    First Slice the water leaves and set aside.  Slice Afang leaves, pound or blend it and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the assorted meat and stock fish with chopped onions, one stock cube/seasoning cube and salt to taste. Cook until tender.  Then clean the dried fish in hot water,remove the bones and add the fish to the pot of cooked meat. - Add the Palm oil, pepper, ground crayfish and remaining stock cube to the pot.  Mix well and then add periwinkles   Cover the pot and leave to boil for about 5 minutes. - After 5 minutes, add the Afang leaves, leave to simmer for 3 to 5 minute

  3. 3

    If using fresh Afang leaves, let it simmer for 3 minutes.   I like to add both the Afang leaf and water leaves together but due to the toughness of the afang leaves, I l add the Afang first before the water leave. Add salt to taste, simmer for 2 minutes and your Afang Soup is ready.
