Instructions
5 steps
- Boil the goat meat, smoked fish and stockfish with onions, crayfish, native spice, chili pepper and salt. Cover and cook thoroughly.
- Toast the light and dark groundnuts in a pan until fragrant and you hear them pop. Let them cool, then blend into a paste.
- Add chopped onions, chili pepper and any other spices to the groundnut paste.
- Mix the paste into the boiled meat stock, add the palm oil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in some unblended crayfish for texture and flavour, then serve.
Cooking tips
- The slow part is boiling the meats for the stock. Rayo keeps meat and stock in the freezer so soup can be ready in about 20 minutes.
