Efe Riro(Vegetable with Rice) instructions

Process: Washed the vegetable with a pinch of salt and add to the boiling water then turned it with turning stick(i off the electric burner so the heat from it will do the remaining since the water is already hot.

Next, grind some portion of the locust bean(iru) add to the boiling pepper turn and cover it to cook for 5minute then add fish(titus), crayfish (half), smoked fish(half), small water, maggi and pinch of salt to taste. Turn and cover to cooked for another 5min. Next, I removed the Titus fish so it wont scatter then add the per-boiled vegetable, the remaining portion of ; locust bean(iru- not grinded), crayfish, smoked fish and poured the Titus fish back..

Turn it carefully so I dont mess up the Titus fish cos I want it complete and not half😁. Add little water if needed, taste to see if you still need small salt cos vegetables can be funny at times allow it cook for 5min. Then reduce the heat of your gas, burner or stove and allow it settle for 3min then turn it off. Served with rice, any swallow of your choice then cap it all with chilled water, juice or soft drink.
