This is for the mailer that asked if you can add tomato to egusi stew. I like the taste of tomato in egusi soup or stew. I remember Lizzy posted Efo elegusi on the blog, she added tomatoes to her egusi soup. Chubby Ella's multi purpose egusi soup also has tomatoes in it
There are
many methods of cooking this tomato in egusi stew and here is how I make mine. |
| A pot of tomato egusi soup |
 |
| Frying egusi in oil before adding to soup pot |
 |
| Stirring to prevent it sticking or getting burnt |
 |
| Fried egusi is added to the boiling pot of beef stock, stock fish and crayfish |
 |
| Frying gave the egusi tiny lumps |
 |
| Adding a little tomato to the stew. This tomato contains tatashe, onion and pepper all ground together |
 |
| Oh well... You can make yours as thick as you want by cooking with just a little quantity of stock |
 |
| The kids enjoyed it with boiled rice Enjoy! |
