Ingredients

3 cooking spoons Palm Oil
1kg Cow meat
1kg Dried Fish (Deboned)
1kg Bush Meat (Dried Porcupine)
3 tablespoons of ground Crayfish
1 tablespoon dried Pepper
2 tablespoon Potash (Akawu)
Larsor Beef Seasoning
Salt (to taste)
1 Cup Garri (Preferably Yellow Garri)

Procedure:
Begin by washing the assorted meat thoroughly, then place it in a clean pot. Add Larsor Beef Seasoning and salt to the meat, and cook it until it becomes tender.

While the meat is cooking, pound the potash (akawu) and dissolve in water. In a separate bowl, soak your Garri in water and let it rise while you leave it aside too. Set these mixtures aside.

In a separate container, pour the palm oil, and gradually add the potash water to the palm oil while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the palm oil becomes yellow and thickens.

Add the crayfish and pepper into the pot with the cooking meat, and allow it to boil before introducing the palm oil mixture and the garri.

Now, add the already washed and deboned fish into the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or more without covering the pot.

Finally, slowly add the soaked Garri into the pot while stirring thoroughly. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the soup thickens. Cook for a few more minutes, and then remove it from the heat.
