This video is remaining me when I used to eat it often. We learned from Nsukka people, Enugwu State in Nigeria. The best part of eating it is cooking white beans and white rice together and making the egwusi stew more watery than being thick. Thank you for sharing this lovely stew. Watching from NYC❤

I only cook it here because of my husband. I have always seen it as stew still, it does not quite taste right with rice. But with the use of just two ingredients: bleached palm oil and scent leaves, it's completely transformed into stew. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ❤❤❤

Thank you for always complying. 😂❤🙏 A few people have said that this vegetable is bitter but I don't taste the bitterness o. It just has one hardly noticeable weird taste that my tastebuds are not classifying as bitter and the scent leaves easily mask this taste anyway. I need to pay more attention when tasting it. Or maybe it's just a case of the species they sell here. I remember trying kale here and it was sooooo BITTER but everybody in the UK and the USA say they've never tasted bitter kale. But the one I tried here was as bitter as bitter leaves and very fibrous like one is chewing sponge, I am telling you! 😂😂😂

For the classic taste of this stew, you need to fry it like that. You want even the tiny water that the seeds contain to dry up as much as possible to get the "burnt/smokey" flavour so you should not be adding water at the beginning.
