“YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD”
This can be any food at all. It can be a local or foreign dish. What matters is that you just love eating it. Tell us why you love it and how it is prepared.

Everyone has something he cherish wherher it be a good thing or bad, but the fact is that there is a likeness. Today we talk about a favourite dish, tomorrow we talk about another thing.

My favourite this for this contest is Ofe Akwu(Bang Soup). I may not cooking regularly, but any time I desire it, I get to prepare it very well.

Tell us why you love it

My love for Ofe Akwu is top notch. Let me gist you. Do you know that it has a lot health benefits for the fact its a local food. Some of the benefits includes;

  • Because of the presence of scent leave it helps to control stomach disorder
  • Ofe Akwu is rich in protein
  • It contains fats and oil
  • It contains vitamins such as vitamin A, B etc.
  • I will like you to tell me your personal discovery on the nutritional benefits and update me in the comment section.

Follow me to my kitchen to see how I prepared my Ofe Akwu

Your stew is ready for consumption. You can save with fufu or rice as you wish but I served mine with white rice.

I remember when I first moved to Enugu State, I always heard of Banga stew but I never wanted to try but the day I did, I loved it. Nice choice.
