Ingredients
• Stock Fish
• Dried Fish
• Cow Meat
• Periwinkles 3cups
• Pepper
• uzziza leaves
• Egusi 6cups
• Salt
• Palm Oil
• Onions
• seasoning
• Grounded Crayfish

Procedures
• Wash and clean your red meat thoroughly. Put in a pot, add salt, onions, maggi,and seasoning of your choice. Cover and boil in a low heat. I boil on a low heat because the meat has fat in the body to lessen the fat i have to turn a low heat and this will enable it to boil out its own water.

• Boil hot water to soak the stockfish and wash with cold water.
• Debone the dried fish and soak on a hot water.
Wash thoroughly before steaming.
To steam put in a pot add onions, maggi and salt. Combine both the stockfish and dried fish together.

• wash your cooking put and set on fire, allow the water to dry off before putting your palm oil. Pour about 3-4 cooking spoon of palm oil. Turn the heat on a low. The palm oil should heat for about 3 mins before you put your egusi.
On a low heat fry the egusi to a dry texture for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Please note, another name for egusi is melon. So you can get a melon seed, blend and you'll achieve this.
