Egusi

A rich, satisfying, and deeply complex West African classic. This hearty stew is prepared using ground melon seeds (Egusi), which give the soup its unique, slightly grainy texture and signature nutty flavor. Slow-simmered in a savory broth with leafy greens (such as bitter leaf or spinach), palm oil, onions, and traditional spices, Egusi is a highly nourishing dish that is typically paired with rice, fufu, or eba.
