Garden egg stew with koobi

Garden egg stew made with garden eggs, koobi and of course smoked salmon.

My garden laid eggs this week

I bought eggs from the market in the form of vegetables shaped like eggs. These eggs do not have yolks but flesh and seeds and does not break when falls. If you avoiding the calories from egg yolk, this is a good egg replacement

Remember, I told you last two weeks we eat a lot of  Kontomire stew in our house? Second to it is garden egg stew. Third is palm nut soup. Our menu here is not cool 😮

Garden egg stew is not complete without all the goodness of koobi. Are you with me?

Now I will eat my garden egg stew with εtse. You will love it with puna yam because I know you well.
