Soups & Swallow

Egusi Soup

Ground melon seed cooked down with leafy greens until it thickens into something between a soup and a stew. One of the plates people order to find out whether a kitchen knows what it is doing.

Served with a swallow of your choosing. Eat it with your hands if you know how; nobody here will mind either way.

Ingredients

  • Ground egusi (melon seed) — the body of the soup
  • Bitterleaf and spinach — cooked in at the end
  • Assorted meat — a mix, not a single cut
  • Palm oil — for colour and depth
  • Dried crayfish — the savoury note underneath everything
