👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
If using fresh jute leaves, wash them thoroughly and chop finely. If using frozen, thaw them completely.

In a large pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the assorted meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. Then, add the smoked fish and dried shrimp.

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add the chopped jute leaves to the pot. Stir well to combine with the other ingredients. Add water, salt, and the Maggi cube. If using, add the scotch bonnet pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the leaves are well incorporated. The soup will naturally thicken and become slightly slimy as it cooks. - 6
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30-40 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the soup has reached the desired consistency.
💡 Profitipps: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - 7
