Nigerian Pepper Soup- Assorted Meat Pepper
Soup
Assorted
Meat Pepper Soup is a popular Nigerian soup recipe. It is prepared with a wide
variety of meats but typically cow or goat parts. Assorted Meat Pepper soup is
popularly served at bars, restaurants and parties and quite frankly, no party
is ever complete with it on the menu.
Ingredients
600g Assorted Meats
Onion
2-4 Scotch Bonnet thinly chopped
2 Tablespoons Pepper Soup Spice
3 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Inch Ginger Root
1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Ata gun
gun)
3 Tablespoons Dry or fresh
Efinrin/ Basil/ leaves OR Utazi Leaves
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
3 Knorr cubes
Salt to taste
Preparation:
Wash your meats thoroughly, then
transfer into a pot. Remember to boil Offals like Kidney, Liver, Heart
separately. Do not add any water. Add blended/Chopped Garlic, Onions and
Ginger. Also add the Knorr cubes and salt to taste.
Place on medium heat and allow the meats sweat out their moisture and
absorb the spices and onions. This should take 13-15 minutes.
Then add enough water to cook the meats and
leave to cook till soft.
You’ll need to have at least 5
cups of meat stock by the time the meats are cooked.
When the meats are soft, add the Chopped or
blended Scotch Bonnet and Cayenne pepper…
If you used coarsely blended instead of properly blended or
Chopped Onions, it’s advisable to sieve your stick using a mesh sieve as you’ll
end up with particles in your Pepper soup. I don’t mind mine having particles
so I didn’t bother.
Then add the Black Pepper, combine and cook for 2 minutes..
Add then the Pepper soup Spice. Taste for seasoning and adjust if
necessary. You may need to add some more water if your pepper soup tastes too
concentrated….
And the chopped Basil, Efinrin or Utazi leaves, then, switch the heat
off and leave to simmer with the residual heat for 2-3 minutes…
Your Assorted Meat Pepper Soup is ready.
