Instructions

Part 1 (Preparation)

  1. Wash and season (with salt, ground pepper, seasoning cubes and onions) your protein to taste; put it in a pot to boil.
  2. Wash the chopped water leaves.
  3. Grind or blend the yellow peppers.
  4. If you have fish and shrimps, rinse and shred them.

Part 2 (Coming Together)

  1. When your protein is cooked, add your ground yellow peppers, crayfish, fish and shrimps to the pot. Stir and allow to boil for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the washed water leaves to the pot. Stir and allow it to boil for 5 to 7 minutes (because water leaves have a lot of water in them, they will release water into the pot as they boil).
  3. Add two cooking spoonfuls of palm oil. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes and then stir.
  4. Add the ground afang leaves. Stir and allow to boil for 2 minutes.
