Egusi Soup in Bali
Egusi Soup is a thick, rich African soup made with ground melon seeds, leafy greens and your choice of meat or fish. It is one of the most loved African soups, and it is always eaten with a side of fufu.
What is egusi?
Egusi are the seeds of a melon. They are dried and ground, then cooked into the soup, where they thicken it and give it a nutty, creamy texture. The soup is cooked with palm oil, peppers, onions and leafy greens, and with meat or fish.
What does it taste like?
Rich, nutty and savoury, with a gentle heat. It is hearty enough to be a full meal.
How do you eat Egusi Soup?
With fufu. Take a small piece of pounded yam, garri or semo with your fingers, press a little dent in it with your thumb, scoop up some soup and enjoy. You can also have it with white rice.
