It's the first Sunday of the year and I'm so happy to be a part of today's creative Sunday after a long time.
So, I was craving goat meat seriously but wasn't sure what to use in preparing it. I was thinking goat meat pepper soup but when I got to the market, I got another idea when I saw other things.
I decided to make stew with the goat meat and okra with some shrimps. This idea started giving me some excitement in the market.
The ingredients needed for this soup are;
Pepper
Tomatoes
Okra
Shrimps
Goat meat
Onions
Vegetable oil
Salt
Seasoning cubes
Ginger powder
Garlic powder
I first went to get the goat meat after which I bought some pepper and tomatoes, I bought the shrimps and then the okra.
The first thing I did when I got home was to thoroughly wash the goat meat and then boil with some salt, seasoning cubes, onion, ginger powder and garlic powder. I allowed it to boil for about ten to fifteen minutes
While that was boiling, I went ahead to wash the pepper and tomatoes and blended it with onions. I really love to use a lot of onions in my soup but it's now so expensive that I had to make do with just a little.
By the time I'm done, the meat was also ready. So, I dropped it from the stove and put a clean pot on the fire and added my vegetable oil.
Some people usually use palm oil for this but I prefer using vegetable oil because I will use the stew to eat other things too. I added my blended pepper mix into the hot oil to start cooking. I added the already boiled goat meat into it and I added some seasoning cubes and little salt to taste.
While it's cooking, I added the water from the boiled meat into the stew and cover to cook.
As that was going on, I washed my okra and grated it. I also washed the shrimp and remove the part that I do not want like the head.
I washed it and steamed it with a pinch of seasoning because if you add too much seasoning, you may spoil the taste. I did this for just some seconds before I dropped it from the stove.
I went ahead to boil my already grated okra with a little salt and then I added the steamed shrimps to it. I allowed it boil and then dropped it from the stove.
By this time, my stew was ready and I went ahead to put off the stove
My soup was ready and I served the okra first and added the stew to it.
I enjoyed it with Amala which is my favourite swallow. This was so delicious that I slept almost immediately after eating.
