FRESH SEA FOOD OKRO SOUP
Ingredients
40 fingers of Okro (okra) chopped
1 ball Bitter leaves ( washed)
1 medium sized Crocker fish
4 pieces of Crab and claws (dressed)
1 cup fresh Shrimp (dressed)
4/5 pieces Yellow pepper (chopped)
1/2 small Onion bulb
2-3 cups of Water
2 tablespoons ground Crayfish
1 cooking spoon Palm oil
2 tablets crayfish Seasoning cubes
Salt to taste.
Method
* Season fish with salt, seasoning cubes, 2 pieces of pepper and half of the onion. Steam on very low heat and set aside. ( boiling fish on high heat hardens the flesh).
* Heat the oil (no need to bleach) and fry remaining onion until dry but not brown. Add your water, ground crayfish, remaining pepper, crab, shrimp, crayfish seasoning and salt to taste.
* Boil for 5 minutes.
* Add the bitter leaves, Okro and fish stock and allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes. Taste for salt.
* Add the fish, swirl the pot and cook for about 3 more minutes.
Serve hot with pounded yam or any other accompaniment of choice.
