OGIRI OKPEI

Friends, often times we eat some local dishes and find out that they are tasteless. Have you experienced that? Sure! This is because we probably have used the wrong ingredients or used the right ingredients but with wrong cooking methods. Although some modern seasonings and spices like stock cubes give as much taste and aroma to our foods, yet, we cannot do without our local spices to bring out the natural taste of our local dishes.
So let us go down the local spice lane of Ogiri Okpei.

Ogiri Okpei is a local food spice made from fermented oil seeds such as egusi seeds, castor oil seeds, fluted pumpkin seeds, mesquite seeds and sesame seeds. Ogiri Okpei originated from the Igbo part of Nigeria and is know to be dark brown to black in color. It is used differently in the different parts of the country. Known as Iru by the yorubas and Dawadawa by the Hausas, Ogiri Okpei has very strong aromatic smell that regardless of how small the quantity added is, the smell can hardly go unperceived.

Ogiri Okpei has graced our mothers' kitchens from time immemorial and must be noted that this spice still plays a major role in our modern day kitchen by providing us with nutritive protein substitutes from the leguminous seeds therewith. It is used to spice up local dishes such as ofe akwu, ofe nsala, yam porridge,egusi soup, ogbono soup, oha and onugbu soups.
Did I forget to mention that it is one of my many secret "Abacha" flavors? Let us know other dishes that you can prepare with this delicacy.....

Ugba (Pentaclethra Macrophylla Benth).

Ugba is the Igbo name of Oilbean seed. It is usually found in the eastern part of Nigeria where it is used either to flavour soups or in preparing some traditional delicacies such as Abacha, ji agworo agwo etc.
Research has found Ugba as a very good source of protein especially for those looking to build their protein levels.
Oil bean seed contains 4-17% carbohydrate, 44-47% oil rich in oleric acid, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
Research also states that Ugba contains nutritive contents high in energy and lowers plasma cholesterol.

Any further ideas, questions and research on this wonder seed can be discussed on this platform. Let's talk..

Utazi Leaves (Gongronema Latifolium).

The benefits of utazi leaves (Gongronema latifolium) ca not be over emphasized. Gongronema latifolium is a tropical rain forest plant specially used as medicine, vegetable or spice by the people from West Africa. Utazi, as it its called by the people from the eastern part of Nigeria, is a climbing shrub that extends up to 5 meters long when grown on a woody base. Utazi leaves are wide, heart shaped and dark green in appearance. No wonder the sweet bitter taste it gives when chewed.
Pharmacologists have hypothesized that Utazi leaves contain antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti- sickling, hypoglycaemic, anti-asthmatic and anti-oxidant effects in human bodies when consumed. Hence, the reason we said earlier in this post that its health benefits ca never be over emphasized, however, future research is expected to validate this assertion. The amazing part of this plant is that the various parts; leaves, seeds,bark and roots are of great health importance to the consumer.
Here at PENT HOUZ we are really excited that we can create amzing recipes with this wonder leaf. Lately, we have received orders from some of our clients specifically asking that this leaf be infused into their meals.
We would like to know what recipes you can create with utazi (Gongronema latifolium) leaves.........
