HOW TO COOK EWEDU (jute Leaves).TO DRAW EXACTLY LIKE OKRO SOUP

HOW I MAKE MY EWEDU SOUP

I don’t have access to the fresh leaves where I live. I buy them from the store. You can easily get them in the frozen section of middle eastern/Indian stores. Sometimes, I find it blended and sometimes unblended.

All I do is to thaw the frozen leaves, If unblended, I blend it first and I add it to a pot, with the crayfish, salt, and locust bean. Leave to cook for about 5 minutes and viola!

INGREDIENTS

Jute leaves

2 Tbsp Locust Bean

2 Tbs Crayfish ground

Salt to taste

1 Stock cube optional

Pinch of baking soda

PROCEDURE

Thaw the frozen jute leaves by leaving it on the counter top for few hours or place it inside hot water to melt if you are in a hurry.

Blend the leaves if not already blended and pour it inside a pot. Add baking soda, the locust bean, crayfish, Salt and stock cube (if necessary) and stir to combine.

Leave to cook for 3 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally until the ewedu becomes smooth and viscous.

NOTES

If you want your Ewedu to draw like Okro plug the stem with the Leaves as shown in the first picture.

Don't overcook the jute or else it will have an unpleasant taste. Not necessarily bad but you will know that something is just not right.

You may blend the locust bean with the jute leaves if that will make you or your kids happier. (It's Very Good For Pregnant Women, It Helps For Quick Delivery)
