Afang Soup (Akwa ibom Style)

Hey foodies!
So as usual I entered the kitchen and you know me, I don't like staying there for hours.

Afang soup was on the agenda. It's actually quite easy to make. You'll need;

- Afang (you can get the leaves washed, finely sliced and ground for you)

-water leaves (I grow my own....bossette;) )

-ground fresh pepper (one cooking spoon, depending on how hot you want yours)

-proteins!!!! (Beef, snails, dry fish, stock fish, pomo (cow hide) Trust us)

-ground crayfish (I usually buy ground dry shrimps.... awesome!)

-palm oil(3 cooking spoons)

-seasoning cubes (2)

-salt (to tastes)

Procedure;
- wash all proteins and put in a pot

-add salt seasoning cubes, ground crayfish and a little bit of water

- let to boil for about 10mins and take snails out (we want a crunch)

- cut water leaves into small pieces,  boil in a pot till water dries

-add water leaves into stock pot (pot with all the proteins)

- let boil for about 2 minutes then add your afang leaves. More like spread it and don't stir. Let cook for about 2 minutes then stir.

- add fresh pepper and palm oil.

You can serve with any swallow.  Personally,  I think it's best with fufu.
