Waterleaf
Waterleaf is a vegetable, and I so much like to cook it whenever I feel like eating vegetables. Waterleaf is a motif of heart-shaped leaves having a conspicuous midrib. Some people don't like cooking it they complain about being too slippery. But trust me, if you follow my procedure, you will like to be cooking it always.
This vegetable is one of the most underrated and undervalued plants in some parts of Nigeria today. Most people regard it as a wild plant that grows all year. It contains a lot of water and nutrients and it is highly medicinal.
Today I will be preparing Water Leaf Vegetable with Semolina one of the granular milled product of durum wheat. I attach the picture below. You can also make Water Leaf vegetable soup with any other swallow food like Amala.
How to Cook 🍳
To cook it is so simple, here are normal seasonings and ingredients to be used to improve the taste of the soup like Palm oil, Onion bulbs, Fresh pepper, Crayfish, Maggi, salt with boiled chicken meat as you can all see below.
After I sliced the Water Leaf, I washed it and put it inside a sieve to drain the water out, I wash the pepper and I blended after that I sliced the Onions.
I put a clean pot on heat then added the sliced Onion. After one-minute, I added palm oil, after another one minute I added grounded pepper and crayfish. After that, I added normal seasonings like Maggi, Salt, with a Locust Bean. I allowed it to heat for two minutes because I don't want the vegetables to be slippery and watery.
After five minutes, I added the Water Leaf by sprinkling it inside the stew then I started to stir until it's no longer slippery and I allowed it to cook for 30 minutes then the soup is ready, and it's so delicious and yummy 😋 I bet you will all like it when you cook it. Best eaten with Semolina.
