Egusi Stew
Instructions
Cook:25min
Popular in West African countries, egusi stew is made with egusi, or melon seeds, which have been ground and cooked in a tomato and/or bell pepper stew, depending on the country or tribe. I grew up knowing this dish as a "stew," but it can also be referred to as a "soup." Often the stew is finished with a type of leafy green vegetable. In Nigeria, uziza and spinach are used. Though I enjoy egusi stew with spinach, as my mother-in-law makes it, I have come to love it with collard greens even more. Egusi can be paired with pounded yam, fufu, eba (gari balls) or steamed white rice.
