[@erinalexis1]

White Gari is my FAVORITE to eat with Eru!!!!! I'm American and learned to make this for my Cameroonian Boyfriend and he said it was dammmmmmn good. Thank you Precious for the recipe. Next, I will try Ndole :)

[@joycebrice4931]

I stopped eating from out and start struggling . long story short is Thank God I stumbled on your chanel and now is like a bible to me. you have encouraged me to cook and cook and cook.i feel very confident help cook for friends or occassions . Precious u r my God send. Thanks for empowering me sister. can't stop getting inspired by your cooking chanels. love u and may God continue to strengthen and bless you as u in return bless others. God bless!

[@ruthierhodes6009]

Is there a store in Houston,Texas USA whereby I can buy eru vegetable to make this soup?

[@reginadennis-nana3261]

I attended a Cameroon event, and the eru was good. I wanted more, so I decided to make my own. Your recipe came to the rescue. It was the best eru I have ever made. Thanks!

[@essenowo]

This is also called Afang soup in Nigeria. You got the right stuff and you are talented chef.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Rex Essenowo yes its very similar to Afang. Thank you so much!

[@PreciousKitchen]

Rex Essenowo we actually use waterleaf too! I only used spinach because I can't find waterleaf where I live.

[@7SavingsGarden]

Love the Video, Eru is my favorite dish and I also love fresh vegetables from africa so I am growing my own waterleaf sweet bitter leaf and other African vegetables here in the US. Keep up the good work.

[@Rrrrr000]

YOU are awesome Precious....wish I lived at your house specially during dinner! 🤓 African American who loves African food... I would just call them greens... every African culture seems to have some version of this.

[@odessa8767]

I am Nigerian from the northern part of cross River state and we share a boundary with Cameroon and this is our ethnic soup we call it Eruru soup. Best soup in the world 💯👌🏽the men from my place can eat this soup everyday all year round 😊

[@thefairiesstrokes3072]

Proper afang soup has to be prepared with the leafs from camaroon , it taste absolutely delicious.Cameroon is my second home i just need a boat ride to go over and get my eru with snails😋😋but in Akwaibom our leaves are also pounded to give it that lovely consitency

[@omo_alade]

Someone posted a video eating eru on Instagram and I came here to find out all about it. I will be making this. Thank you. 😊

[@MissEndowed]

Same here today

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi friends, here is a note for you. A few of you might not find the comments you posted under this video. That's because I deleted the first Eru video I posted. The video you commented on was missing a part so I had to delete it and put in the missing footage then upload again. Thanks so much to one of you who alerted me about the missing one. So sorry that your comments got lost with the first video. But I read every one of them and I appreciate them. Thank you all for understanding!

[@graceb2676]

Precious Kitchen Precious ur eru is perfect.

[@adullamgrowthguide]

Loyal follower of Precious core, you've saved me from embarrassment several occasions, i must publicly thank you.

[@PreciousKitchen]

racheal ojoo you are so sweet! So glad to hear that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the feedback.

[@lizettelum3903]

Thank you sis for confirming with my own method as I see others putting eru before water leaf or spinach .your method is the best

[@ladyley2033]

[@maryndegwa204]

[@manuelang]

Before I really didnt like to cook ahha. Cuz Im living abroad so I felt like it's too difficult or complicated... plus being from the Littoral region of Cameroon I did'nt really know how to prepare the almighty #Eru... tho we used to cook it at home but I was'nt paying attention lol. But when I started following you I got to learn a lot cuz you actually make cooking simple. I will be preparing my first eru today 24/11/17 and Im sooo excited 😊 cuz eru is in my Top 3 of best food ever on earth! Thank u maa, your young sister/daughter from Cameroon God bless ya

[@alettiaenowagbor8906]

[@jullietjoy7191]

This is beautiful I love your cooking procedure 😍😍😍❣❣❣

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thank you.

[@ademako]

Also made this today. I make eru all the time but today I changed things a little bit by using your procedure. I could definitely taste the difference. You make everything look so easy

[@PreciousKitchen]

Ademako this makes me so happy. Thanks so much, dear!

[@nunjanana3938]

Woow! Please aunty Precious keep up. What I've learnt from here can't be mentioned you're just too much. More power to your elbows.

[@bolabola7810]

This is the same as our afang soup in Naija, but the recipe includes pepper and periwinkle. Well done P.

[@essenowo]

Bola Bola O.k. that's cool!

[@momsybaby413]

By the way, Eru is one my favorite dishes. Thanks again for the awesome recipes

[@PreciousKitchen]

You're most welcome, dear.

[@valdaq]

Thank you for sharing this video Precious, my Eru is never this moist so i will try your recipe next time.

[@priscatatiekammekam8012]

Hi Precious thanks for the recipe for the first time i cooked it well and i was happy to eat it and share with my brother.

I don't usually watch your videos went I'm hungry.🤣🤣 you are just da best 💖💖💖

[@queennadia4095]

OMG, this video makes me soooooo happy! It reminds me of my mother cooking eru at home for our family. Can't wait to try this recipe for my boyfriend. Thanks Precious!!!

[@irenerufus1756]

Thanks hon. Great recipe. I am cooking this. Looks yummy.

[@agahchantalmulibe3525]

Perfect video 👍

[@zitamuyu6802]

it looks so delicious precious kitchen,I'm salivating

[@PreciousKitchen]

Zita Muyu thanks dear.

[@kirlanda4ever]

At 7:30 it looks like greens. I think the term you are looking for in English would be stew. Stews are less liquid but still moist and are full of chunks. Can be chunks of meat or large chunks of veggies. But that looked delicious!

[@PreciousKitchen]

kirlanda4ever thanks for your kind words, dear. Stew sounds interesting!

[@samuelbumebokossah4560]

wow awesome thanks usually drained the water before adding the eru because i feared it might become too watery thanks for this video will do a remake i do it right this time around thanks

[@antoinebadimame]

I enjoyed it. thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@PreciousKitchen]

Antoine Badi glad you did!

[@twinfactor3446]

Thank God I found the Chanel to perfect my cooking skills especially eru I need to perfect my skills on that

[@kckengeramirez6934]

Your recipes are a great help to me any time am short of how to go about a particular dish

[@PreciousKitchen]

So glad to hear that!

Vegitable soup my dear. It looks perfect.

This looks so delicious! Love from Papua New Guinea!

Wow this is awesome dear thank you

[@appkuw2087]

You really know how to cook. Looks yummy 😋 😋 😋 😋

[@akoteclaire1171]

hei sister, u have a great recipie. i want to ask if the baking soda help to bring back the gree colour to the eru?

[@PreciousKitchen]

ako teclaire the baking soda helps the eru looks greener. I used dried eru here and you can see that it looks green. However, if your dried eru is very brown I doubt it it will become very green. Hope this helps.

[@akoteclaire1171]

ok sis God bless you. sure it helped

[@ambitiousmommoney]

OMG IT LOOKS SO TASTY THANKS FOR THE RECIPE

[@PreciousKitchen]

You are welcome, Priscille.

[@JJu1029]

Hey Precious you are the bomb I like ALL your recipes and procedures and they all work well for me. Thank you very much. And your wooden bowls are so nice, where can I get mine?

[@PreciousKitchen]

Nkwain Ngeah thanks so much, dear. I bought my bowls from a garage sale. Depending on where you live you could get something similar online.

I like the way she started with the cooking 🍽

[@ashleykem8052]

Aunty Precious, eru is my favorite food and this looks so delicious! I cant wait to get my ingredients after this quarantine. When will you release your cookbook?

[@AfrikQ10]

Delicious Cameroon dish

[@lilianokafor1142]

precious you no go kill me with your cookings love it

[@PreciousKitchen]

lilian okafor thank you dear.

[@nikkistarm]

Precious I think I have had this before, but agussi was in the spinach, can you do a spinach and agussi with the fufu recipe please, or is this 🤔 the same recipe just without the agussi?

[@PreciousKitchen]

No, that's another recipe. I will keep that in mind.

[@mariarobins9613]

Looks like callaloo or Jamaican Spinach c:

[@carleenrobertson-small7632]

In Guyana 🇬🇾 we called it eddo leave or dasheen leave ...love it very much.

[@allthatsheiz]

You just gave me an idea. I don’t always care for a lot of regular spinach but callaloo is good to me in bulk. Maybe I can make with that 😀

[@mariarobins9613]

@@allthatsheiz yes share it with us!

[@togusa2030]

Is there a substitute for eru/ukazi leaf in America?

[@JoseMartinez-ko7nh]

hi , can i go about it without the crayfish ? actually i cant find any where i live . anything to replace the crayfish? Thanks in advance

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi, unfortunately crayfish is so crucial in this recipe. My mom always says it is the key ingredient. Can you find dried shrimp, though? That will be the closest thing to crayfish. Also use shrimp seasoning cubes (Maggi) if you can so the flavor is enhanced. Hope this helps.

[@annalab7629]

Hi Aunty. Is it normal if my eru was bitter?? What am I suppose to do next time for not having this result?

[@titusxp]

Made my first eru. It was epic thanks to you. I'm male and live alone in Bamenda. There's no excuse for not being able to cook anymore

[@babymbuh1932]

You can say that again.

[@vruslan48]

Hi precious, where do you buy the ERU LEAVES? I want to prepare it plz

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi, I get the leaves precut and dried from African stores.

[@klomax7089]

This recipe reminds me of how we cook collard/kale/turnip green in the USA. I'm wondering if I can find Eru greens here? Would most African grocers carry it? Thanks for the video - I feel like I can smell it through my iPad! Lol

[@PreciousKitchen]

Yes, you can find it dry and packaged in African grocery stores.

[@danielen359]

Yes it will be called Ukazi leaves

[@tapualofa6707]

What are eru leaves in english ? I am in the United states and would like to try this dish

[@nkokepoupe6434]

this recipe is so wow but want to ask how to make very green eru...that recipe I've not yet gotten

[@miss3639]

wow quick and nice eru recipe. I ended up salivating at the end when you were tasting your own dish 😂😂😉😂

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thanks Balkiss 😂😂

HI PRECIOUS, I JUST SUBSCRIBED ON YOUR CHANNEL I'M FROM NIGERIA BUT LIVES IN SOUTHERN AMERICA I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL IS VERY EDUCATING. I OWNED A RESTAURANT HERE AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ERO IN MY MANU PLEASE WHAT CAN I USE AS A SUBST FOR ERO/OKAZI ? THANKS

[@gichukimuchemi7164]

and the best procedure I could easily understand, cos I want to learn how to cook it ,))

[@hildatansi3959]

Waoh! Now i know an alternative way to cook dried eru. I think it's better to call it sauce rather than soup because it is not watery.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Right? Sauce sounds better than soup.

[@josephinehelha7471]

You are so nice... thanks for the recipe

[@slaywithshania7959]

Please how long do I boil the meat for

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi Shania, you boil it until the meat is tender. The timing will depend on the toughness of the meat. Hope this helps.

[@Lilian4you]

Can you use frozen spinach. I'm short of time cooking today. Don't want to go through fresh spinach lol

[@PreciousKitchen]

You can.

[@reinhardtewuh2287]

Pls I really wish to know the exact proportion of fresh eru to water leaves.

[@Elizabeth-fn9fd]

I want to try this but what is Eru called in the US?

[@PreciousKitchen]

You can find Eru in African stores labeled as "Eru", "Okazi" or "Ukazi". It is sold dried.

[@MonicaLovelyGant]

Just Subscribe to support your Channel! Wow food looks great love spinach. So different, I like cat fish 🐟 & Shrimp 🍤 but don't like other fish's. 🥰

[@mariarobins9613]

I'm so mad I have no idea where my background is from. I see similarity in Jamaican food and African dishes but I know our culture is a culmination of all the lifestyles of Jamaican ancestors from Europe, China, India and Africa. Wish I could find my tribe and really learn about my African roots. Sigh.

[@sylviambog4566]

greaaaaaat @Camer.....

[@LifeonGodzTerms]

Yum

[@solangeakoko6850]

Please is the fresh eru? love the greenish color

[@PreciousKitchen]

It's dried Eru, dear. I soaked it in water with a bit of baking soda (1/2-1 teaspoon) to make it look like the fresh one.

[@livewell8262]

the eru looks so delicious. how long did you soak it for? thanks

[@solangeakoko6850]

Wow really,baking powder thanks

[@PreciousKitchen]

Solange Akoko it's actually baking soda not baking powder.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Catherine Fombu I soaked it for about 30 minutes.

[@tunioyasir]

Awesome video love from pakistan keep it up:)

[@jessrosem]

Something to call it that's in between stir fry and soup like you ask.. we say a stew.. maybe that is the word to use?

Good job sister

[@gladysnzelle783]

Madam Precious the quantity of crayfish Hmmmm Was that not too much zince you used some Magg seasoning. Just my suggestion!!

[@orlannetchienang4444]

I realized that when I add oil into my eru before the water is dry in the pot, the water never dry completely. And I make it with Maggie prawns, it tastes better

[@AmbassadorONE]

We are waiting for crayfish rice🤗

[@fitzroygoodall7]

Can I eat calalloo with my fufu? I'm Jamaican we don't have eru but we grow cassava and plantains

[@PreciousKitchen]

Calalloo definitely works with fufu! We eat it too: we call it green. You could make some corn fufu to go with it. I have a corn fufu recipe here on the channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJm8hKtnibR7i5I Hope this helps.

[@sholasanya7340]

Can you put some Egusi if you want to?

[@PreciousKitchen]

No Shola, this recipe won't work with egusi. But you could make egusi soup and add a little eru (just the leaves) to it.

[@sholasanya7340]

Thank you

[@bridgetukandu9391]

angel Nancy and

[@tabeebangha1151]

NO CRITICS BUT JUST TO COMMENT, you have the perfect recipe,. good procedure but your eru is very watery, leave the water to dry out then add the palm oil. if you like it wet then add a little bit of water after the oil. never add palm oil while the eru is still boiling or cooking in the water leaf or spinach. am sure your eru taste nice but it looks watery. try what i mentioned you will see a great improvement on how your eru taste and even looks. and also add a little cray fish when your meat and kanda is boiling not all of your cray fish just a little and let it cook with the fish adds more cray fish taste to the eru and gives it more flavor. then you can add the rest of the cray fish after the oil just as you did. eru seems easy to make but you need to know what to put in and at what time to have the perfect eru. great job babes, i really love your channel i learned how to make njama njama from you . so am also giving you a little tip on eru . i wont comment on how you eat it, its totally wrong but its your style so just enjoy great job

[@PreciousKitchen]

Tabe Ebangha thanks for sharing, dear! I totally get where you are coming from about the eru being watery. But note that I am cooking dried eru in this video. From experience, cooking dried eru the way you mentioned often results in very chewy eru. That's why I let it stay moist - this method works perfectly everytime with dried eru. Also, I don't think there is a wrong way to eat eru. My mom is bayangi and growing up, I was never told my way of eating was wrong. I'm curious - could you please explain what the right way is? Thanks for the crayfish tip! I'll definitely try that.

[@tabeebangha1151]

Precious Kitchen exactly! you where never told but that doesn't mean it's right. Never mine , as I said enjoy. It's your way. I eat it as you do some times but it's wrong but it's better to eat it as you do bcz I do it too. And it way easier. But it's not right am not getting into details of how it should be eaten if you where never told even by the bayangi you have at home then she too doesn't know. The traditional way of eating it is dying out. Am almost forgetting it my self. Your method is easier and I do it too but it's totally wrong. I was never told that I eat Achu the wrong way until some had the courage to tell me and I learnt the right way but still not perfect, so how you eat it doesn't matter the most important is that you enjoy it and it gets to your tummy. Which is why I said I won't comment on your eating style cuz it doesn't matter but if you want to learn the real way to eat eru I will gladly teach you or u can ask real bayangui in your neighborhood

[@tabeebangha1151]

Precious Kitchen my mum never told me either that I was eating it wrong only others told me that I was doing it wrong. So you can also learn from others not only from your mum and not only because she didn't tell you it was wrong. Your right dry eru is kind of weird but let the water dry out and then add in the oil then if you want it wet add water after the oil not before, it makes the eru look like porridge you porridge plantain, the water and oil mixture, And soupy but if you add water after the oil it is barely noticeable. A perfect eru is moist but not soupy as u said and I know it's dry eru so water is necessary but add a little after the oil. Just try it and then let me know how it went. I really love your videos especially the Achu video and the Kati Kati video learned a lot. Thanks a million

[@tabeebangha1151]

Precious Kitchen an also from my experience of cooking dry eru. If you use the right amount if spinach you won't need water just cuz it's dry eru . It will be just perfect and not soupy cuz it's dry eru. It will turn out as the fresh one weather it was soaked in water and baking soda or not

[@adoscirca8681]

@@tabeebangha1151 you said all of that just to say that you wouldn't tell her the correct way to eat it. Even after she asks you the correct way you turn around and say "I'm not going to get into details..ask someone from your neighborhood." What sense does that make?? You should've just kept your mouth closed or made the correction. Just telling someone they're doing it wrong and not providing the correct way is a waste of time.
