My Unique Recipe

Hello Steemians! Trust you all are well

I prepared a delicious African cuisine called Palmkernel soup or “abak” soup in my language.

It is a soup made from palm fruits and a vegetable called “atama”. It is a really healthy meal as it contains nutrients that helps in proper growth and development.
There are some health benefits of Palm kernel oil. It is rich in antioxidants and contains vitamin E which supports good skin, immune function and eye health. It is also a very good source of protein essential for muscle growth

Nice recipe you have here. In my place we call it ofe akwu and I prefer to use it to eat white rice. There’s also a version for soup. Nice recipe.

Thank you friend
I love eating it with white rice too. It's so tasty that way!
