afiame soup

Want to try a new recipe this week? A local delicacy like Afiame would be the perfect recipe to try.

Afiame soup is a beans-based soup that is originally consumed in Edo state. It is very reminiscent of Gbegiri which is a bean soup consumed by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The difference is in the ingredients used to achieve this finger-licking meal.

This soup is not just delicious, it is also nutritious. Here’s how to prepare this delicacy for your family.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of beans powder
  • 8 large pieces of Beef
  • 1 large piece of Smoked Fish
  • 2 medium pieces of Stock Fish
  • 3 Scotch Bonnet Peppers
  • A handful of chopped Scent leaves
  • 3 cooking spoons of Palm Oil
  • 3 pieces of Uda (Negro Pepper)
  • 1/2 cup of Crayfish pieces
  • Seasoning cubes
  • A handful of chopped Onions

Directions

1. Season beef with chopped scotch bonnet peppers, onions, and seasoning cubes, and bring to a boil till beef is soft.

2. When the beef is soft, wash the smoked fish and stockfish and add to the pot to cook.

3. Pound the Uda, remove the seeds, and add to the pot of boiling meat and fish.

4. Add the crayfish pieces and pour in the palm oil and cook on low heat.

5. In a separate pan, on low heat, stir-fry the bean powder till slightly brown.

6. Allow the roasted bean powder to cool then add water slowly and stir till a paste is formed.


7. To the pot of meats, slowly stir in the bean powder paste till all the powder is in the pot.

8. If your soup gets too thick, pour some water to loosen it a bit and allow to simmer.

9. Add the chopped scent leaves to the pot, stir and allow to simmer for about a minute.

10. Serve your Afiame soup with any swallow of your choice.

Afiame Soup.( Beans Soup) : : Yellow garri or pounded Yam with Afiame Soup is the real final discussion. : : Talking of yellow #garri, it’s interesting to watch how the south east people particularly the men , take a big chunk of garri in their palm and then proceed to release smaller balls as they dip into the soup ?. This happens even when they are eating alone and no one is struggling with them for the food ….amazing. I usually can tell where people are from by the way they handle ‘swallows ‘. : : So back to the matter of Afiame Soup , I guess I could use bean flour but I decided to do it the way the Edo people do it . Which is, wash and peel the beans dry it before blending. I dried mine in the oven which means I removed much of the raw beanie flavor. The bitterleaf is my twist in this soup. Usually it is cooked with Effirin ( Scent leaf) . Go easy on the Scent leaf , all you need is a hint of it . As you don’t need beef in this soup, you can easily cook this in 30 minutes if you have beans powder. _ : : Let me know how you go on this one . Have a great weekend . : : #nigeriancuisine #1qfoodplattervideos #nigerianfoodblogger #beanssoup #nigeriansoups #1qfoodplatter #edostate #nigerianphotographer #gbegiri
