FRESH CAT FISH PEPPER SOUP

Ingredients

1.5kg fresh catfish

½ cup of pounded onions

1 handful Scent leaves

little Utazi leaves

Seasoning cubes to taste

1 to 2 tablespoons Pepper soup spice

½ cup of ground crayfish.

1 teaspoon Paprika powder

Salt to taste

Procedure

1. Start by washing the fishes thoroughly, most people fail to do this properly. Normally, the fish is cut in the market by the seller to serve-able sizes so just transfer into a bowl and soak with lightly hot water; very boiled water will end up peeling the skin of the fish.

Wash to remove the slimy outer skin completely.

2. Prepare all the necessary ingredients; Pound the fresh yellow habanero pepper and half cup of crayfish together with a mortar and pestle or blender. Slice the utazi leaves, scent leaves and set aside in bowls.

3. Transfer the washed catfish into the cooking pot; it is better to use a small pot so the fish parts are very close to each other, this will allow the proper incorporation of the ingredients and help you make a very delicious point and kill pepper soup.

4. Once you have transferred into a pot, and then start with salt, followed by seasoning cubes, crayfish, pepper and pounded onion.

Then add some water. Make sure the ingredients are not suspended at the top.

5. Cook for 7 minutes and add some paprika powder this time. You are free to spice up with flavors and spices of choice.

6. Taste for salt and pepper. You can add more pepper if you like. Allow for a minute.

7. Add the leaves, allow to simmer for 3 minutes and you are done with this fresh catfish pepper 

soup.
