Okonghobong (Ugu) Egusi Sautéed

I always like my vegetable sauté with Egusi to have clumps. The Egusi clumps brings out the vibrant beauty of any African vegetable sautéed with our African Egusi. Even my Egusi stews deserves those clumps. It’s up to you to decide if you want the watery Egusi or the clumps ones.

I bought some goat meat with skin, l have been keeping my goat meat for a very special delicacy like this one. So I choose to use assorted meat which includes , Canda, trip and some smoked fish.

Let’s get to the kitchen;
