The other day I decided to make Efo riro and Boiled plantain to post on Instagram, then I realized I needed to put up an updated Efo riro recipe, because the one I have now is quite dated and I definitely need to let you guys in on my new recipe, it is all you need, trust me! You know that moment you prepare something, taste it and you just nod your head, smiling because you know you’ve created a masterpiece? Yeah, I had that moment with this Efo riro recipe.

I used Shoko leaves (Lagos Spinach) for this recipe because they are more tender and in my opinion taste better in Efo Riro. This Soup is such a versatile one,it goes with pretty much anything and can even be a meal on it’s own!. If you prefer the oil-less version, just skip the part where you add oil and cook your peppers first and follow the rest of the steps, it will still have the same amazing outcome.
Tell me, what’s not to love about Efo Riro? It’s packed with loads of nutrients, has carbs, proteins, fats & oils and so delicious.

Do try this recipe out and let me know if you had the same “out of body” experience i had. lol!
