Semovita is the wheat-based swallow that half of Nigeria keeps in the kitchen cupboard. Stir the flour into hot water and turn it steadily and it comes together into a smooth, soft, slightly springy mound with a mild taste that never competes with the soup.
That neutrality is why it works with everything: egusi, ogbono, bitter-leaf, afang, okro, vegetable soup, whatever is in the pot. It is quick to prepare and lighter on the stomach than some of the heavier swallows.
