Directions

Step 1
For Pounded Yam: Peel, wash, and cut yam into pieces. Boil in water until very tender (20-30 mins). Drain, then pound in a mortar or use a food processor until smooth and dough-like.
Step 2
For Okra Soup: Wash and chop okra (or grate). Boil assorted meats, stockfish, and dried fish with half an onion, bouillon, and salt until tender. Reserve stock.
Step 3
Blend habanero peppers and the other half onion with a little water.
Step 4
In a clean pot, heat palm oil (do not bleach). Add the blended pepper mix and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Add the meat stock, cooked meats, stockfish, and dried fish. Bring to a boil.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped okra and ground crayfish. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring gently to maintain viscosity.
Step 7
Add spinach/ugu leaves, cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 8
Serve the hot okra soup with portions of pounded yam.
