Opuru-fulo
If there is one food I love so much and I had to put in my heart to learn how to cook so well, it has to be opuru-fulo meaning Lobster soup. This dish is commonly known as Ijaw best soup because it is a display of culture, ingredient, story and tradition in a pot. The special or key ingredient in this dish is the lobster aside from the native ingredients. Opuru-fulo is goodness mixed with aroma and spice in one pot, that’s the way I describe it lol.. let’s get the soup started. First and foremost for most you’ll need these ingredients that is going to be listed below:

  1. Lobster
  2. Smoked fish (sea fish)
  3. Ogbono
  4. Uziza leaves
  5. Arigo also known as Monodora myristica
  6. Apapa(Tetrapleura tetraptera)
  7. Habanero pepper and scotch bonnet pepper
  8. Salt and bullion cubes
  9. Onions
  10. Crayfish
  11. Periwinkle
  12. Palm oil etc.
    in order to make this dish you need to blend or pound your crayfish, pepper onions and your native spices and set them aside afterwards you prep your lobster and smoked fish then season to your desired taste, let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes then proceed to add your palm oil let it boil till everything combines very well add enough that will cook your soup through then go in with your mixture of pepper native spices and crayfish, taste and adjust seasoning then let it boil for 6min then you go in with your ogbono also known as Irvingia, at the point your pot should be opened so as not to over cook it let it simmer for 3min then you can add your periwinkle and Uziza stir it and turn off the heat and voilà your delicious opuru-fulo is ready, you can pair this with cassava swallow, semolina, potato swallow or garri and enjoy.
    But I prefer garri. For the records I schooled in Bayelsa but I'm from Delta state and I love their food even though sometimes...... Also their music is niceeee.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗

peace out ✌️

I'm saving this recipe, it's definitely a soup I'd love to try. But it's a bit shocking to see an igbo lady enjoying and loving to prepare an ijaw soup though. It's beautiful too. 😁

I've never made this dish before, but it looks delicious. Plus, you provided the recipe and instructions, although I would need to research some of the ingredients I'm unfamiliar with: Ogbono, Uziza leaves, Arigo (also known as Monodora myristica), Apapa (Tetrapleura tetraptera), habanero pepper, and Scotch Bonnet pepper.
Perigaro. Otherwise, the instructions are easy to follow. It would be nice to try something new. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest, blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Nunca he realizado este plato, pero se ve apetecible, además de todo que brindas la receta y la manera de realizarlo, aunque me tocaría investigar algunos ingredientes desconocidos para mí:
Ogbono, Hojas de Uziza, Arigo (también conocido como Monodora myristica), Apapa (Tetrapleura tetraptera), Chile habanero y chile Scotch Bonnet
Bígaro. Pero por lo demás la explicación está fácil para su proceso. Sería agradable experimentar algo nuevo, gracias por compartir. Suerte en el concurso, bendiciones 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Looks hearty and delicious and can be served with a warm fresh baked multigrain roll with a dab of butter. My doctor recommended that I should have more seafood meals.
