#### Introduction

*Do you like trying out new recipes like me? I have done another one this weekend and it's delicious. Whatch out how this new recipe was prepared.* I like trying out new recipes on my own 😜. I enjoyed vegan goods because it's purely natural and it's good for the health. While own my own, i do have an idea of what to cook. It might be something i haven't cooked before, but once the vision comes, i prepare the recipe immediately. Last night, i decided to prepare a delicious vegan Abacha (African salad). Already have some carrots and fresh tomatoes, i went to buy dried chopped Abacha made of cassava tuber's. On getting there, i bought it together with green peppers since i have other things at home. And below is the ingredients. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZfvTRaomkcEtNgs1v8DsxYEQEbRABySgyb8EYfiEV9Ne/1741430712767.jpg) * Carrots 2 * Fresh tomatoes 2 * Green peppers 2 * Salt * Water * Palm oil * Ngu (palm ash) * Onions one ball * Ehuru (calabash nutmeg or African nutmeg) This time, i dont want to add oil bean, vegetables or gadern eggs which was my usual process. But only with carrots and fresh tomatoes.

### Steps

Soaking of the dry abacha for 45 minutes for it to get solft. I did that using clean bowls and clean water. I also added salt to it for test. As soon as it gets solft, i seived it out from the water using seive. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZooGmTMwYCYPHkYVwJ2H66bmpZ1aj6ZEBPg5LNR8jpSa/1741431170753.jpg) While the Abacha was still inside water, i washed the ehuru, fresh tomatoes, fresh pepper 🫑, carrots and onions. I washed twice with clean water, then crush the calabash nutmeg with fresh pepper with mortar and pestle. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbdu4H5DW9XBxZSgFt59oDJ5rdEtkMGTVShNSxMEvtY1E/1741431541428.jpg) Then, chopped or sliced the vegetables together. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSm3eZwUYxuBRnG15uEeXAkWDNUiPopCuguRbLdE4WUqq/1741431594331.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmccLgq3UTuF8c98x3zSDA52q4ntDHfGnbsbnCJjSeJJVt/1741431594407.jpg)

### Cooking 🍳 🔪*

I put the palm ash in the pot, you know it's in watery form. Added palm oil to it, shake the pot for proper mixing. After that, i put the pot on fire and immediately it started boiling, i added the solft Abacha inside the pot. I used table spoon to mix it. I added salt to it including the pepper and ehuru. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ8T5xG3iwxgAzyDEMt7ijJe5vBcVr9UHYw2Cq3G4mPcZ/1741431963192.jpg) I allowed it to heat for 2 minutes then, i off the fire. I added the sliced vegetables to it. Remember not all. I left some to beautify the food and to be eating raw as well. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQg7gwrSZFtEExXzVLjrcziPh7sMBHU4Nj9RkaefJM3n9/1741432085956.jpg) After the proper mixture, nothing more.

Serverd and enjoyed my meals. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmY88gJzSKHAcMUG8M7WLzxnDtX5YevLM1Y8Ln4GoMLLqc/1741432139054.jpg) The ehuru gave the food a nice aroma and a good flavor. The carrots 😋 gave the food a natural sweetener. Infact, i overeat due to the carrots taste on the food. The fresh tomatoes on it's own part making the meal more tasty, delicious and healthy for the body. *All the ingredients used is very good for healthy living.
