EFO RIRO-101
Good evening my lovely mums and sisters in the house.
I was thinking of what to eat for dinner so I remember the competition on this forum, then I decide to make efo riro. We Igbo's love the efo tete (we call it green) but the real name is (English- African Spinach and the botanical- Amaranthus hybridus).
I love this vegetable right from my childhood. Infact once my mum just say we will eat "green and rice" for lunch after church service, the joy in me doubles.
Now down to the main thing so I don't bore you with too much stories.

Steps

1

Process:
Washed the vegetable with a pinch of salt and add to the boiling water then turned it with turning stick(i off the electric burner so the heat from it will do the remaining since the water is already hot.
Blend the pepper
Pot on fire then add my oil. Here I mixed red and groundnut oil together. Allow is bleach for a minute then add onion, pepper turn it together then cover it to cook for 25-30min(depend on the quantity).

Next, grind some portion of the locust bean(iru) add to the boiling pepper turn and cover it to cook for 5minute then add fish(titus), crayfish (half), smoked fish(half), small water, maggi and pinch of salt to taste. Turn and cover to cooked for another 5min. Next, I removed the Titus fish so it won't scatter then add the per-boiled vegetable, the remaining portion of ; locust bean(iru- not grinded), crayfish, smoked fish and poured the Titus fish back.

Turn it carefully so I don't mess up the Titus fish cos I want it complete and not half😁. Add little water if needed, taste to see if you still need small salt cos vegetables can be funny at times allow it cook for 5min.
Then reduce the heat of your gas, burner or stove and allow it settle for 3min then turn it off.
Served with rice, any swallow of your choice then cap it all with chilled water, juice or soft drink. Yours truly
