How to Prepare a Great Pot of Ila Asepo with this Recipe

Ila Asepo is a delicacy said to originate from the Yoruba culture. Okra is mixed with pepper and other ingredients and used to eat Eba, Pounded Yam or Semovita, etc.

Ila Asepo is a light soup that every woman must learn to prepare. It is not only comfortable, but also cheap and fast.

The determining factor for an excellent okra soup is the level of viscosity (how much it draws), which is why Kaun (potash) is added.

On the nutritional scale: okra is rich in fiber, protein, vitamins k / c, folate, and magnesium. You can turn this soup into a “rich” soup using a large amount of protein.
