This will need to simmer for approximately 20-30 minutes until it is reduced and thickens in consistency In a third pan (be ready to do lots of washing up after cooking this!) place 2 cups of palm oil and cover with a lid. This will need to bleach for about 15-20 minutes. Bleaching breaks down the palm oil and gives it a more fluid consistency. Be aware, palm oil can smoke out your kitchen/home, so be sure to open as many windows as possible and turn on a fan After 10-15 minutes of bleaching the oil, add in the pureed mixture, diced onions, locust beans, crayfish, stock cube and salt to taste Strain and add in the meat, tripe and cow skin Fry these together in the palm oil for another 15 minutes, stirring the ingredients occasionally Turn down the heat and allow the sauce to simmer and any water from the blended peppers to dry out. The sauce should have a thick consistency when done. Ofada Rice prep Prepare the ofada rice. Wash it thoroughly to remove any grit. Place in a saucepan, add 3 cups of water and bring to the boil When the water in the rice has dried up, remove it from the heat, rinse in cold water and then return to the heat. Add 2 more cups of water to the rice to finish cooking. Taste the rice to ensure that it is soft before removing from the heat Time to chop! Serve up on a plate and eat while . Have a nice day!
