Efo Riro is the Yoruba vegetable soup that turns greens into something rich. Leafy spinach or shoko is stirred into a base of palm oil, blended peppers, onions, iru (locust beans) and ground crayfish, then simmered just long enough for the vegetables to soften without losing their bite.
Expect a thick, savoury, well seasoned soup with a proper Nigerian pepper level, closer to medium than mild. It is excellent with pounded yam, semo, eba or a plate of white rice.
The container charge is already included in the price. Have it hot at our table in Remera, or order online for pickup or delivery anywhere in Kigali from Jollof Bistro.
