Hello Steemians
Good day to all who are experiencing day light,
Today I travelled from port Harcourt to ELELE a small town in Rivers state where my family lives, went to see my parents and I met a surprise package.
My dad was preparing to cook his special (Lols), which is catfish pepper soup and plantain(unripe).

I arrived to ELELE by 9:00am and my younger ones have gone to school and my mom off to work(a nurse) so my dad was the only one available, he left his shop to surprise us this eve but it was unfortunate I met the surprise before it even got started.
So we did the cooking together and it was kinda funny cause we were out of gas and we used the normal kerosene stove which was annoying from the starting to the end, so here are the ingredients and procedures on how we made the catfish pepper soup with plantain(unripe)

---

---

Firstly the ingredients

---

One cat fish(or two depending on the crowd)

Some plantains

Scent leaf

Cray fish

Salt

Pepper

Seasoning cubes

---

PROCEDURES

---

Firstly we had to kill the fish and immeresed/wash in hot water

Then we got the kerosene stove lighted up, added water to the pot then close

Thirdly we brought out the plantains and sliced then horizontally (about 2-3cm) and washed and into the pot they went. :-)

Then we sliced our onion, pounded the peppers and crayfish, sliced the scent leaf

Next, we checked if the plantain was half cooked, then we added the catfish which turned the whole thing white. (still surprised)

Then we pour in the whole ingredients including salt and seasoning cubes but the sliced scent leaf was left behind

We left it to boil for some minutes and then we added the scent leaf did the testing and brought the thing down And lastly, eating time.... ^_^
