Why Egusi Soup deserves more attention

Egusi Soup rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply umami from fermented ingredients complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using uziza leaves correctly takes real skill.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. I encountered it first in a family gathering and that context helped me understand it properly. Fanta orange is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Egusi Soup is the dish to start with.
