Whenever the weather is very cold and your home is cozy and your stomach starts rumbling, demanding food 😀. What is the first meal that comes to your mind? a steaming serving of spicy jollof rice? a large bowl of pepper soup? fresh fish pepper soup...? So, because it was cold and freezing outside and my stomach started demanding for food this morning, I made this spicy hot pot of catfish pepper soup. It was served with white pap (Eko).
Catfish pepper soup is one of the easiest and quickest to prepare among Nigerian pepper soups, but it's also one of the most forgiving. It's a forgiving soup that demands precise timing and attention. Catfish is usually the fish of choice, which I assume is due to the fact that it is abundant in Nigerian rivers and is the most farmed fish species in the country. There aren't too many loose and dangerous shards of bone in it. Fishbone is one of my worst phobias in life.
INGREDIENTS
Catfish
Bonney Pepper
Onions
Bay Leaf
Ugu Leaf
Red Pepper (blended)
Pepper Soup Spices
Grounded Crayfish
Water
Salt and Maggi.
Step 1: Firstly, place the Catfish in the washing bowl, then add salt and hot water. Any bacteria present will be killed as the sticky skin peels away. Three more times through the process, then rinse with cold water and set aside.
Step 2: Place a sauce pan on a heat and add the catfish then slice the onions and add it to catfish, then add the blended red pepper
Step 3: Now add the bay leaf, remember it’s then grinder one, then add the pepper soup spicy and allow to cook for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add the crayfish (grinded) then add maggi to taste.
Step 5: Now wash and rinse the vegetable (Ugu leaf) then finally add salt to make it tasty… simmer for 10 minutes and turn off the heat.
Now serve and enjoy, make sure you serve while the pepper soup is still hot, this will help reduce cold and don’t forget to share with your neighbors 😁
