How to use three different vegetables, ugu, green and waterleaf in one soup

[Image: breakfast+ideas.+rice+with+moi+moi+veget...en+023.JPG]

amaranth ugu vegetable soup served with rice, moi moi and coated chicken.

This meal is so nutritious, healthy, filling and interesting. It was very easy to cook because

the moi moi and crisp coated chicken were brought out of the freezer and microwaved, while I only boiled rice and made the vegetable stew.

Ingredients for the ugu and green aleho vegetable stew:

1 small bunch Ugu
1 small bunch green amarant (Aleho)
1 bunch water leaf
1 cup roughly ground crayfish
1 teaspoon ground fresh pepper
1 medium sized onion
2 cups palm oil
2 seasoning cubes
salt to taste
water

This delicious meal just happened because it wasn't what I planned to cook. Communication problems between James and I led to my cooking this. James was asked to go get me water leaf, my plan was to cook ugu stew with the water leaf. Because he understands Hausa while I communicate in English, he went to the market and came back with green amaranth, I had no choice than to cook just amaranth and ugu without water leaf.

However, The result made me thank Mr James for not understanding English Language.

Everyone enjoyed this, and ate so well. At the end of the day, I didn't feel bad anymore. I was happy that the dish earned a lot of praises. I will advise you to include water leaf when you make yours though.

Cooking Procedure for ugu and green vegetable soup:

Wash and parboil rice, then boil again with some salt until rice is cooked, set aside.
Fry onion, pepper with seasoning, crayfish in hot oil before adding the washed vegetables, stir and leave for just a minute.
Check for salt and seasoning, stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or more.
Serve with boiled rice, moi moi and coated chicken
