On a sunday evening, my mum suggested we visit my cousin’s house and take some ingredients to make pepper soup. I peeled and washed my unripe plantain, picked a few scent leaves from her garden and washed the goat meat. I seasoned everything, placed in a pot and we were on our merry way. We sat and watched the Re-Run of the AMVCA (African Magic Viewers Choice Awards). Oh did I mention I am on a little holiday in Nigeria? Loving this heat so far by the way. For my pepper-soup, I added a few teaspoons of salt, dry pepper, Maggi and scent leaves to the pot of goat meat and plantain and boiled. I removed the plantain when it was soft to allow the goat meat become softer. When that was ready, I served both to my aunty, uncle, cousin , mum and my dad. It’s safe to say they really enjoyed my pepper soup. What are your go-to sunday meals?

Hi. jst came across ur blog and i’m liking it… i also like d peppersoup and plantain recipe bt if i may suggest, next time u could add ground uziza seeds, a bit of ehuru and a really tiny bit of ground uda to give it dt proper “peppersoupy” taste.
PS: i dunno if ur igbo bt i am and its d igbo names of the spices that i gave, dunno their oyibo names. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi El, Thanks for your comment. I usually would add those spices but being that majority of my audience are Nigerians in the diaspora and they don’t readily have access to those spices, I had to go the very simple route so they don’t completely miss out on the dish because they don’t have the spices. Thanks for your comment.
