Ogbono Soup

==Description==
== Ingredients ==
* one pound meat (beef, lamb, or goat) or chicken
* cayenne pepper or red pepper
* one cup palm oil, or any cooking oil
* two or three tomatoes, peeled (if desired) and chopped
* one chile pepper, cleaned and chopped
* one onion, finely chopped
* one-half cup ogbono, crushed
* two Maggi® cubes dissolved in water, or a spoonful 
* one dozen okra pods, ends removed, whole or chopped 
* one piece dried, salted, or smoked fish
* a large bunch spinach leaves
* salt
== Directions ==
# Rub the meat with the cayenne pepper and let it stand for about an hour.
# In a large pot, bring a few cups of water to a boil. Add the meat and cook it for several minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer.
# In a skillet, heat most of the oil and fry the tomato, chile pepper, and onion until they are tender.
# Add the fried vegetables and the Maggi® cube water to the meat. Cover and continue to simmer on low heat.
# Heat the remaining oil in the skillet, stir in the ogbono, and fry it for a few minutes, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste.
# Add the ogbono paste to the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir to avoid forming lumbs.
# Add the okra and dried fish, shrimp, or prawns (if desired). Cover and cook a few minutes more. Add water if needed to obtain the desired consistency.
# Add spinach leaves or other greens. Adjust seasoning. Cover and cook until all is tender.
