I used extra firm organic tofu and baby Bella mushrooms as the meat substitute but you can use any other thing you like. Also, I didn’t add any vegetable stock cubes, just salt, garlic ginger, and the local spice -locust beans (Iru) After pouring the egusi, I cooked it for about 10mins Ingredients 3/4 cup ground melon seeds (egusi) 2oz baby Bella mushrooms (it came in a 4oz pack and I just used about half of it), 14oz/397g Extra firm organic Tofu (I used ‘Nasoya’, the whole pack) - fried and seasoned with salt & onion powder 1 large diced onion ( divided into two, one part for the melon seeds and the other part for the frying), 2 cooking spoonful palm oil, 1 tbs - 11/2 tbs Locust beans (iru), 1 clove garlic, 1/4 of a thumb of ginger, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cup of water a generous handful of chopped spinach, 1 deseeded scotch bonnet (for the garnish), Pepper mix - for this, I blended 2 large bell peppers, 2 scotch bonnets & 1 medium onion. After I boiled it to reduce the moisture so it would be easier for me to fry it in the palm oil. #veganegusisoup #vegannigerian #veganafricanrecipes
