This is a meat dish (usually cooked with chicken and ham) and typically made by boiling and grinding palm nuts, and then cooked with pepper, dried fish, okra, and many other spices and seasonings. Though it is a delicacy of the African ‘Kru’ tribe, it is widespread throughout the country

P.S If you are an onion lover, I am sorry for the inconvenience but onions ain’t added to this soup especially if you’re planning to save some for later because it makes the soup sour. All the ingredients can be found in an Africa store or Afro- latinas. You can add as much pepper as you want to but you might want to tone it down on the garlic. If you are finding it hard to follow the information above I suggest you start off like you’re cooking a pepper soup and then add the palm paste from the can.
You can literally eat this stew with everything from fufu,rice, eba to bread e.t.c.
