AUTHENTIC EFO RIRO RECIPE - VEGETABLE SOUP | SISI JEMIMAH 

Me too O

For that alone, 100%.

Same here

I agree ☝🏾

I second that

Yes it’s the same as callaloo

You can also use spinach

@@kayd.1755 callaloo is tete, not soko. Soko is lagos spinach and i have never seen it in the US

You can cook it with spinach leaves. Spinach is the closest thing to shoko leaves. Sometimes I use kale, but because kale is so crunchy , rather than washing in hot water, I soak in hot water for about 5 mins to soften it before adding it to the stew mix

From Wikipedia with love 😁😁😁 Celosia argentea var. argentea or Lagos spinach (a.k.a. quail grass, soko, celosia, feather cockscomb) is a broadleaf annual leaf vegetable. It grows widespread across Mexico, where it is known as "velvet flower", northern South America, tropical Africa, the West Indies, South, East and Southeast Asia where it is grown as a native or naturalized wildflower, and is cultivated as a nutritious leafy green vegetable. It is traditional fare in the countries of Central and West Africa, and is one of the leading leafy green vegetables in Nigeria, where it is known as ‘soko yokoto’, meaning "make husbands fat and happy".[5] In Spain it is known as "Rooster comb" because of its appearance.[citation needed]

Love ur recipes hun

Efo riro is not meant to be watery. It's a tad bit like EdikangIkong.

Not really watery like that, but it's okay. It's an individual thing. I love yur cookings though.

Yes you're right, should not be watery but at the same time not to stocked up with meat. But it's nice though.

Motunrayo Omotosho you’re right it’s too much meat and I don’t see how one can eat it with the side of Amala, Iyan, Eba etc🤷🏿‍♀️ I’m not gonna lie it looks good tho and I’ll probably eat it by itself 😂🤤

Yes u can.

Fade Akinsola yess❤️

How did it come out for you?

TCt83067695 I was very pleased.

Definitely...

Yes, you can ..

Callaloo

Water leaves may be too watery..

Tomato can make the vegetable more watery, I wouldn’t add more than 1

Lmfaooo I’m Nigerian and I don’t even know what that is(I moved to the U.S when I was twelve I probably forgot all the names😅) it does looks like spinach

Why not, the combination is tantalizing

I get you but unfortunately, the choice of name is deeply rooted in our culture, too late to make changes to it now.

Sisi Jemimah's Recipes Thanks for clearing up my misconceptions. You are a great cook and may the Good Lord continue to bless you and your family.

Cook it d way u want it, it's all about preference
