Steps

45mins

1

Put your meat into a pot. Add salt and a small amount of water (about 2cups), one or two maggi cubes and bring to boil for about 30 minutes until soft and tender to taste.
2

While that is cooking, put your blended tomatoes, fresh and or dried pepper, onions into a blender and blend to a smooth paste
3

Take grounded egusi and put in a bowl, add water to egusi in the bowl and stir to form a paste.
4

The meat should have finished cooking by now. Get a big pot. Place it on the cooker and allow it to be hot. Pour red palm oil in the pot. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute. Pour the blended tomatoes, fresh/dried pepper, onion paste into the oil and stir fry for about another 10 -15 mutes.
5

Now add the cooked meat to this base of stew and cover the pot and allow to simmer for about 3 minutes. Stir intermittently to prevent burning.
6

Add egusi paste to the stew with meat in it, after 7mins add your vegetables here, salt and one or two cubes of maggi if still required to taste and bring to boil for about 10 minutes. Stir intermittently.
