One thing about this weather that I love, apart from how it makes sleep so enjoyable of course, is that it provides me with the opportunity to enjoy hot steamy Nigerian meat-based dishes that warms up the body and brightens the rest of the day.
Here are a few favourites you should absolutely try:
1. Goat Meat Pepper Soup (with Assorted).
A bowl of spicy goat meat pepper soup is better than any thick duvet, trust me.
The goat meat adds a rich depth of flavour, while the heat from the pepper and spices helps chase away the chill. Pair it with boiled yam or plantain, and you’ve got comfort in a bowl.
2. Oxtail Pepper Soup.`
Rich, gelatinous and flavourful, oxtail with bone-marrow and spiced broth is especially soothing during the rainy season. The bones release collagen and the meat becomes tender, giving you a deeply warming texture with plenty of flavour.
3. Okro Soup with Meat & Fish.
Okro soup’s slimy texture is perfect for this weather because it’s light yet filling. When loaded with beef or goat Meat, even both, and complimented with smoked fish or other seafood, it gives you balanced warmth without being too heavy.
4. Hot Jollof Rice with Meat Pieces.
There’s something about the smoky, spicy aroma of jollof cooking that lifts spirits. When you cook it with quality meat (beef, goat or chicken) and serve it hot during a rainy weather, it’s delicious and soothing at the same time.
5. Edo Black Soup with Beef.
This soup is made with bitter leaf, scent leaf, uziza leaf, and beef (sometimes with crayfish or fish), Black Soup is full of depth and rich flavours. It’s intense, nourishing, and perfect for when the cold sets in.
