A few scent leaves
2 medium onions
Salt (to taste)

Preparation
1. To prepare Fish Pepper Soup, wash and cut the cat fish into 1-inch thick slices. Boil some hot
water and pour on the pieces of fish, stir and remove immediately.
2. Now it is time to prepare the 'secret' ingredient. Using an old frying pan, roast the Ehu seeds
(stirring constantly) till you can smell it. Then the Ehu is done.
3. Peel off the membrane from all the Ehu seeds and grind with a dry mill.
4. Cut the onions into tiny pieces.
5. Wash and pick the scent leaves and tear them up with your fingers into small pieces.
How to cook Fish Pepper Soup
1. Place the pieces of fish in a pot and pour water to just cover the fish, add the stock cubes and
bring to the boil.
2. Once it starts to boil add the ground ehu, onions, habanero pepper and scent leaves and
continue cooking.
3. Once the catfish is done, add salt to taste and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes and it's
ready!
