Description
The Regular-sized Egusi is a traditional West African soup crafted from nutrient-dense ground melon seeds. It is slow-cooked in palm oil with a blend of peppers, onions, and local seasonings to create a rich, nutty base. This hearty soup features a characteristic “lumpy” or grainy texture and is typically garnished with fresh leafy greens like fluted pumpkin leaves (ugu). The portion is rounded out with pieces of seasoned beef or assorted meats, making it a savory and protein-packed meal designed to be enjoyed with a side of “swallow.”
