Foodie Wednesday: Yam and Cat-fish Pepper Soup!

Hello There,

How are we all doing? And the week, how is it coming along?
This morning i remembered one scenario like that from childhood, it should be Easter or Independence day, can't really recall which now. I lived in this neighborhood where everyone lived like one big family, there were lots of sharing, food was on a galore that particular day. You needed to have seen me, i ate like there was no tomorrow. My mum warned me on several occasion to stop but na lie...her warnings flew into the right ear and flew out from the left. Oya fast forward to midnight, while sleeping, come and see me see throwing up. Mummy Dearest helped me cleaned but do you know the next thing she did? hehehehehehehehehehe......your guess i as good as mine!
Why all this story???? I LOVE FOOD....SOOO Much.....*sigh* all these weight watching has caused my love for food to reduce but it hasn't changed my love for cooking.

Recently i craved for yam, but i didn't want the usual yam and egg or yam pottage thingy, then i remembered yam pepper-soup! Gbam... i decided to have me some yam and catfish pepper soup. It was so nice i decided to share with you all, am caring and nice bah?

What you will need

                                                       Yam (cut into chunks)

                                                                      Catfish

                       Pepper(i used grounded chilli pepper, you can use atarodo if u so desire), Knorr Seasoning (2 cubes) and Salt to taste

                         Crayfish(grounded), Akanwu, Uda, African Nutmeg(roasted and grounded)

                                                       Scent leaves (chopped)
Onion(chopped)
Palm oil


        Procedure

Wash your fish and set aside
To get a great scent out of your African nutmeg and Uda, roast them a little, then grind and set aside
Put the yam into a pot and pour enough water to cover it
Add onion and a little pepper and boil for 10 minutes
Once it starts boiling, add a tablespoon of palm oil, fish, crayfish, all the spices and more pepper
Cook for another 10 minutes
Once yam is cooked, take it out from the pot, leaving the pepper soup and fish
After a minute or two, turn off heat and take down.
Your yam and catfish is ready to be devoured!

You can serve with palm oil just as i did or without it. The choice is yours!

Try this out, you wouldn't be disappointed. *wink*
