Good day guys, I wish to appreciate #crossculture and for the privilege giving to people to post about culture in this community God bless you.
Am here today to write and post some pictures on how to prepare delicious EFO riro.
Efo riro is a vegetable soup and a native soup of the Yoruba people of western Nigeria.
INGREDIENTS
Scotch bonnet (atarodo)
Red bell pepper (tata she)
Onions
Crayfish
Smoked mackerel fish
Cow skin (ponmo)
Palm Oil
Vegetable leaf
Seasonings and salt.
HOW TO PREPARE EFO RIRO
Pick the vegetable from the stalk and slice into chunks
Rinse vegetable clean, drain and set aside
Chop 1 onion and set aside
Shred the smoked fish into flakes and also set aside
Roughly chop the bell pepper (tatashe) and onions, use a food processor for perfect coarse texture
THE PROCESS
Place a pan on medium heat and add palm oil,
heat for about 2 minutes chopped onions and fry in the oil for about 2 minutes, Add blended pepper to the palm oil and stir to combine,Move on to add the diced ponmo and ground crayfish and cook for another 3-4 minutes on low heat
Add seasoning and pinch of salt.
Whilst you are waiting for the sauce to cook, boil water enough to cover the vegetable. Once the water is boiled, pour over the vegetable and cover with a lid for 5-10 minutes. Strain and squeeze out excess water from the vegetable.

Continue to cook the sauce till oil floats on the top, add the smoked fish and stir to combine. (You can add little water to the sauce if it is too dry but do not overdo it as efo riro is almost water free)
Add the vegetable to the sauce and stir till all is well incorporated.
