** oven grill chicken with ingredients above for 12 minutes with broil option **
* 1 large onion chopped
* 1/2 Tbsp garlic paste
* 1 Tbsp ginger paste
* 1/2 cup smoked herrings for authentic egusi soup flavour
* 2 habanero chilis (leave one with head on & split other open to release its heat)
* 2 small red bell peppers (seeded and blended)
* 4 vine tomatoes seeded (seeded and blended)
** transfer grilled chicken with its juices into cooking pot, and add the ingredients above, and cook on medium heat with lid on, for 10 mins till a vigorous boil is reached **

I’m cooking this for myself for Valentine’s Day 😭❤️

I’ve never had African food before but I just made this for my family last night following your recipe/tutorial and it was a big hit! Delicious!
Wonderful!
@@NanaabasKitchenCan you make FuFu from Bisquick?
@@marshatate5443no please dont
@@marshatate5443what is the bisquick
@@marshatate5443 please dont
i’m from kazakhstan so this cuisine is so alien to me but it got recommended to me for some reason and now i want to try and cook this:) +this woman’s smile and personality are contagious i was invested and smiled throughout the whole thing❤️
Thank you 🙏🏽❤️
Same here she seems to have such a kind spirit love the sound of her voice, so soothing and a great cook also.
I dated a Nigerian man and he introduced me to African cuisine and I haven’t looked back! Egusi potato greens fufu and grilled dibi is my favorite
My mom boyfriend Nigerian and I just got introduced and I love all of their food!!
Sameeee !!
Yep! The spices and flavours are divine....could never go back to basic or bland foods
ooh that amazing 👏😍
The chili’s I tried it it’s smelling bad that yellow one 😠😠
Her voice is sooo soothing while describing everything 😌
Plenty of African places I could get it from but I truly think African food is booming, it's so rich and diverse with a variety of spices and uses for them! I'm honestly completely intrigued and addicted, I was born and raised in France 😂 but I want to learn how to use all these beautiful ingredients
I am entirely obsessed with world cultures. And you make me feel so loved I just love African culture.
Omg I’m pregnant it’s 2am and I’m contemplating making this rn. If only I had the ingredients 😂😍😍😍 looks delicious. I’m Mexican and love to try new foods , this is my next meal for my husband for sure! ❤️❤️🤞🏽
Hahaha
Me right now
I am pregnant and Mexican and contemplating making this now also 🤣
@@gabriellatrevino1277 good luck
THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I made it for my family tonight I hope everybody appreciate the FULL BODY workout it took to make the fufu 😂💕💕
i agree...thanks
Even as a Nigerian, fufu is hard for me…lol
I make semolina with potato starch(very little) to make fufu. I am from Congo, we don't eat this kind of fufu.
future. will soak that dry fish first.
Love your clarity and it is so accessible. My Honduran family use a Hana to pound cooked green plantain but… now I have a peek to see where and how the tradition comes from.
I really appreciate the way you explained your recipe and told us the exact measurements without skipping anything! (I was shopping online for the ingredients as you were explaining them) I have been missing African food and couldn’t find a good enough recipe until I found you on google. Again I appreciate how you do your videos. You have gained yourself a new subscriber 😊
Thank you 🙏🏽🥰
The BEST egusi recipe out there, tried it myself and my whole family loved it 🤤🤤 defs gonna be making it again 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I drove 45 minutes today to try it for the first time. Lately people have been posting videos of themselves trying it and spitting it out and being very disrespectful to the culture but I thought it looked really good so I got some and loved it. Now just a few hours later I’m looking at how to make it because I need more!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes I be watching them irritated because when I see it I’m like 🤤🤤🤤
What rude, tasteless fools! This looks so delicious! I must try to make it ASAP.
The problem with ppl is that they expect food to taste the same as it tastes in their cultures. Many times it is not so and a lot of the taste of foods is acquired. It is very disrespectful to video yourself spitting out other ppl's food. They are not fools they are plain uncultured, and undisciplined and with no values or good upbringing.

..im British Irish & I would still find that so,so rude..manners don't cost a penny!..
My mother loves egusi but our closest restaurant is 2 hours away lol. This was so beautifully done and easy to follow, thank you 🥰 she literally brings the ingredients to me every Thursday now 😭😂
That’s so cute 🤣😍
I'll bee right there lolz y'all got a brilliant mom!
@@sisterinchristourlordandsa3193 I do 🥰
Anna pls there is a defferent between egusi stew n Ghanaian egusi soup
@@feleciaadjei1946 if you don’t mind telling me the difference, I’d love to know 😊
Thank you so much Auntie!!!! I have made egusi soup before but you have by far made it simple and true to the Nigerian way! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I love the focus on no waste. I always rinse my sauce jar/can and then pour it into whatever I'm making. But you never see that on youtube or recommended by cheifs. I love to see it encouraged, because it makes sense and it's what people actually do. Loved this video and the intro to African cuisine!
Before trying fufu became a TikTok trend, my Nigerian friend took me to an authentic Nigerian restaurant to try fufu and various stews. Before we arrived, I was already in the mindset of being open to a new experience... from the way the staff would treat me, restaurant atmosphere, food wait time and the way this ancient, sacred food from another continent would taste. When the food finally arrived, I was overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing an array of new flavors.
Then, when I later saw people on TikTok gagging when trying this food, it broke my heart. We need to teach our children and each other how to be more receptive of how different other cultures are. People need to understand what is “normal” in a community’s general taste preferences completely depends on our environment, so “normal” is completely subjective. In order to argue that something is objectively “normal,” the subject matter must concern health.
If you try Nigerian food and think it’s “gross” or “weird,” consider keeping your limited opinions to yourself. It’s a bad look to comment on other cultures based off of your preference of taste.
Beautifully said.
Thank you... very thoughtful.
Excuse me… The TikTok trend was WHAT?!
👍👍👍👍
Why were they even gagging? It's paprika, garlic, onion, and seeds. Or was it the texture? Or using their hands? I'm lost
Sis, I made Fufu and Egusi soup this weekend!! My children and I loved it for my first time!! I'm soooooo happy! Thank you!
Delicious recipe Chef Lola. I'm amazed how clean you stay. Thank you for sharing, I'll be sharing too 😊
My heritage is Jamaican/Dominican. I've had the dish a few times thanks to my friends. Your tutorial is clear and easy to follow. So happy I can make this healthy dish for myself ❤️ 🇬🇧
I made you egusi soup version and it was divine, everyone loved it and we all tried African food for the first time. Thank you for sharing your culture with the world.
I found out I am Nigerian! So I’ve been looking for a lot of African foods.. I’ve cooked so many cultures of food this look so good!!! 😩
Good luck
Thank you. I needed this! 🙏🏼🇰🇭🤍
Egusi soup is one of my favorite Nigerian dishes. 😋
The most amazing Egusi recipe, thoroughly delicious!!!
I typically find myself fast forwarding through most cooking videos, but not this one. Not only are you a lovely woman but you have the most calming voice... not to mention food that looks absolutely amazing! Our family will be trying this for sure! BTW I love cast iron and use it almost exclusively. I was wondering who the manufacturer of your pot was?
@Miss Jamie Her pot /dutch oven is by Staub.... They're the best and so is Le Crueset

Yoooo I said the same thing ! Her voice and energy lures u in !
And I’m the same way
I’ll fast forward through a lot to get get the point
Love how detailed she is with the ingredients as she’s adding it 😍❤️ makes it very easy to follow along
I’ve recently discovered that I’m part Nigerian so this video means everything to me. I also specialize in culinary and tried this once before at a restaurant but now I will attempt to make this at home. Thank you so much ❤
Wow this got to be one of the most healthy recipes I've ever seen, so many different nutrients in one dish.
I live by those tips you gave every time I cook: Clean as you go and no wasting of food. That stew looked so delicious!
I just finished making the Egusi soup. Thank you for another wonderful recipe. I had ordered Egusi soup at an African restaurant and feel in love but the cost of $19 (with tip) meant that I wouldn't enjoy it often :-( Now thanks to your recipe, I can have Egusi soup anytime I want. And by the way, I did look at many other recipes and your recipe was the easiest to follow. I like your spirit. Thank you my sister!!!
Thank you for taking time time to share! Love this!
Can’t wait to cook this! I love to try out cooking cuisines from different cultures. This looks delicious 😍
Her voice is so soothing omg
The first snack that I tried when I landed in Accra for the first time was kelewele purchased from a vendor on my way from the airport. Ghana had me at first bite! Thank you for this and all of the other recipes and step by step instructions for these delicious dishes. You are more than a cook/chef. You are an ambassador. So many Ghanaian dishes remind me of the food that my great grandmother in the South Carolina sea islands prepared. It is amazing how people of African descent in the diaspora, no matter how many generations we've been estranged from the continent, still carry our food and other traditions with us. You absolutely need to be on the Food Network so that those of us who have never tried West African dishes, might be inspired to do so respectfully. TikTok egusi and fufu challenge aside!
Wow you are very thoughtful and thorough! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Amazing and easy to follow recipe! Thank you so much for posting! 💚
Thank you for something authentic- we have very few African restaurants in Australia so I love trying authentic recipes.
I love the unpolished melon seeds and Fresh Kale. The brightness of the soup is beautiful and super delicious 🤤 and the Fufu is well done 👍 I call it stress free . See your mouth digging in ooo🤣🤣 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ooooo
She used pumpkin seeds, Latino markets call them Pepita seeds.
so. Wea
I live in Indiana and I am SO INTRIGUED to try this! It looks SO DELICIOUS and I can only imagine the amazing tastes it has!!! Thank you for creating this video!!! I am hoping to make this soon!!!
I’ve always liked African food! It’s so good!!
Hahaha I liked your commentary about ppl smacking the fufu. I think it started from someone talking about how he was required to eat fufu with utensils in boarding school, but whenever he'd get home, he would "smack that fufu, no mercy"
I remember it too 🤣🤣😅😅🤣 the way he even said it was overly hilarious 🤣🙏😎
I had Egusi Soup for the first time in 2013 and fell in love! I havent had it since because all of my African friends are so busy and its a lot to cook. I am black american and love most african dishes.
thanks for making such an accessible recipe for people who havent tried or cooked this dish before!
Talk about a comprehensive Egusi soup tutorial, everyone get your pen and paper, let's learn from Nanaaba's Kitchen!
Oh dear, this Egusi soup and fufu looks unbelievable, sista!!!!! You no joke at all. I am coming abeg, I want this one, and nothing else today!
I Dey wait you Kechi 🙏❤️❤️❤️
@@NanaabasKitchen Hahaha
Don't need pen or pencil have the video 😁😁😁😁
I’ve never tried Egusi or Fufu. My family and I have never tried African food but it looks delicious I want to make it already as I’m watching this! Thank you for the recipe 😊
You look like such a kind hearted person! I really enjoyed watching and learning how to make your yummy looking dish! I can’t wait to make it!
Thank you so much for this !!!! Can’t wait to make and enjoy this
Presentation is absolutely breath taking and refreshing ,my mouth is watering 🤤just imagining the flavors
I followed the directions word for word and it was delicious my kids even love it. Definitely something to add to the menu. On my way to take my mom a bowl and some fufu
I love to watch this woman cook. Plus I can’t wait to make this dish! Thank you! Keep up the great work!
I love egusi soup and fufu 🥰😍🤤, thanks for sharing your delicious recipes.
I'm so glad that I found your channel. You made this look so easy now I can cook this for my Nigerian King! I made him Poundo before and it came out lumpy and too soft. I've been trying to figure out how to make Egusi for him. I'm going to surprise him with this! Thank you so much!😊❤️
Your recipe is so delicious that we are making it again this weekend, thank you. Here in Switzerland we don't have many African restaurants, so it's awesome that we have the possibility through this video and others on UA-cam to get to know other cultures and their favorite food
looks delicious..🍲🥂🍾🍲🇬🇭🇺🇿🇳🇬
💫💖
In Zurich are some, but yeah, not enough.
Omg I love her so much! That looks like THE BEST egusi I ever seen!!
God bless you. Your energy is unmatched. Making this with my sisters.
Feeling closer to my roots looking at this! I’m gonna give it a try. May just be my sabbath meal 😋
Thank you so much for this video! I live in an area that’s not so ethnic and this was very helpful. I will definitely be making some soon! ❤️❤️
I love your detailed video. I'm gonna try this! Looks delicious!
Her energy made me follow immediately lol 😂 makes me feel so comforting
Omg sister I’m so excited! I had the honour of eating this and it was absolutely delicious! I fell in love with it and wanted to learn how to make it myself. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I’m off to our local African store to purchase palm oil , fufu, and dried herring.
You are such a awesome chef..you made the two African foods I LOVE..making it look so easy I feel confident I can do this on my own I have the exact fufu powder on my counter and I kept pushing it back because I didn’t think I could do it..but you inspired me making it look easier for me..Now I won’t have to go to my favorite African restaurant so often to get Fufu and Egusi.
❤️Thank You for sharing this beautiful recipe.
I'm so excited to try this recipe, thank you so much for sharing!
I’m Puerto Rican and my husband is to and he loves fufu and I’m definitely making him this today with your help!! Thanks
This recipe was so simple and fun and tasted so authentic! Thank you for this video ❤
Where is the recipe?
Loved this video and all the personality. I have a lot of African friends, and they feed me all the time. This here is my favorite meal!!
I love your sense of humour. Thank u for teaching us. I will try one
I cannot wait to try this!! Thankyou for the recipe girl!
My first time making this and man oh man! I tasted it and did a happy dance it is sooo good. Thank you Sista Madame!
This seems like the easiest recipe I’ve seen so far. I live 5.5 hours from any African food stores. I live in a very rural area in Northern Ontario. I love it out here so much. It’s beautiful and life is so relaxing. I love food from all cultures. This is the only reason I miss the city sometimes. Thanks for sharing, I’m so excited to try it. I discovered this recipe at 9:20 pm and the chicken in out of the freezer at 9:30 😂 Luckily I have everything in my kitchen to make the soup. The fufu can wait but that soup needs to be ready ASAP 🤤 😍🥰
That looks amazing. That red oil and everything! Thank you.
Omg!!!! I’m Mexican and this just made me extremely excited! I’m Making this. Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼💖💖
I love the vibrant rich colour of this Egusi soup, it looks so appealing, the kind of soup that can tempt me to break a fast🙈🙈
Awwwww, reward yourself after fasting! Your sister needs to quit all these temptations 🙏😅😅😎🥰❤️
She makes me feel at home🥺❤️
Best. Tutorial ever! Thanks Sissy 🎉😊
Yes!! So wonderful. I had foufou and egusi for the first time today. I have been wanting to do so for years. I am so happy. I will be trying this recipe!
This looks sooooo good. I can’t wait to try it. I honestly can’t imagine the taste. All of the flavors are so new to me, but I welcome the challenge. After all this is who I am.
I love when she say NO WASTE..❤
Nanaaba, you're a woman after my own heart! Clean as you go!!! You are a vibrant and inviting hostess and just watching you makes me want to try to make this dish. I've been enchanted by the wonders of African culture and food for many years and I'm glad I found you here. Thanks!
My son wants me to make this for him for our Christmas dinner. I am so excited to try this home made with him 💜 Thank you for a great video!
I live on the Northside of Chicago so there's a large African community here so we have many African restaurants, but my neighbor has a daughter who is part Nigerian and she made Egusi Stew and it was so delicious. I really enjoyed your video and the pot with the little pig on the handle is so cute ☺
I am going to cook this on Sunday . Thank you sis for this beautiful cuisine .
You’ll love it sis 🙏🥰
I made your recipe today and it was delicious. Thank you for the easy to follow directions 🙌🏾
I’m so excited to make this. I’ve never tried Ghanaian food before and I’ve never met an American who’s eaten west african food. It looks delicious, love from America 🇺🇸
4:17 that chicken is so vibrant with the spices. I never even thought to add ginger
6:50 I love pumpkin seeds
I bet for a green leafy vegetable mustard greens would be good
Wow I never knew egusi was pumpkin seeds wow wow
Ha saw some young African Americans trying this on tik tok it was hilarious! Thank you I have learned something. Will try cooking it!
I know right!!!! 🙏🥰
Started cooking this and my 15 year old daughter was super excited. Thank you!!
So proud of myself for the way this came out. You teach eloquently thankyou thankyou!!! It’s delicious!
I had africa food ONCE IN MY LIFE, and loved it (I have a half black dad so it is in my dna😂) and tonight I'm making this, and it's simmering away now as we speak. I'll try fufu when I can find the ingredients because it looks so good. Hello from Japan.
I’ve been looking for this recipe for years. I had an elementary school teacher who made for us years ago and I couldn’t remember what it was called until recently! Looks like I’m gonna have to order some ingredients and make it!!!
I made this for the first yesterday and I’m hooked!! You’re recipe is so easy and simple to follow!! Thank you for sharing it with everyone!!
You’re most welcome 🙏🏽❤️
🙏🏾thankyou for showing me how to make this delicious stew❤
Omg...watching you cook all these delicious dishes makes me want to move to Africa....I love African food and now I’m learning how to cook it at home. Thank you so much 😊
You’re so welcome Renee 🙏❤️❤️❤️
I typically do not follow tic tok videos......but this looks SO GOOD!!! Going to buy some AND going to try cooking it!!!
If I were u try doing small portion just in case u don’t like it I’m going to try making it sometime soon
I am wanting to try African food for the first time. Fingers crossed gonna try this
Thank you so much love...I'm glad African food is trending
Trends can be powerful. This stew looks sooooo good and has to go viral. I love the serving 😋😋😋
Thank you Rosy 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Dinner time in Virginia and my family LOVES this recipe!!! Tonight was my first time making this delicious dish, but I assure you... it won't be the last. Thank you Nanaaba!!! ❤️
❤️
Very to eat
Foods this good is worthy of it’s viralness!!
Egusi! Is everyone's favorite 😍
I discovered egusi last year looking for recommendations on what to order to support local African restaurants. I have dared to make it once only with oatmeal fufu. I like this simplified recipe too since this is what is readily available without going to a specialty store.
