- 2 Fishes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 onion
- 1 hot pepper
- 3 Pebe (African nutmeg)
- 1 Alligator pepper
- 3 Negro/Selim pepper
- 1 handful of persil

Instructions
- Clean the fish, cut them, and wash them ready for cooking. Sprinkle them with salt and set aside

- Blend all the spices, excerpt the ginger leaves and hot pepper
- Put the fish, salt, blended spices, and tomato paste in a cooking pan and mix.
- Add the oil and water (about 300 to 500ml). Let it cook at medium heat for about 10 minutes. Then taste the soup, add more salt if necessary.
- Add the ginger leaves and hot pepper. Let the soup cook for another 10 minutes.
- The soup is ready. It can be served with plantain, yam, or another side dish of your choice. Enjoy!
