Ofé Owere ⓘ (also spelled Ofe Owerri is an Igbo delicacy in the South-Eastern(Ala Igbo) part of Nigeria.[1] The soup is made with snails, beef, assorted meat and fishes.[2]
Origin
The soup is popular among people living in the capital of Imo state, Owerri.[3]
Overview
The soup is one of the most expensive Igbo soups, which is why it has been nicknamed 'Jewel of South East'.[4]
Different kinds of vegetables such as okazi and uziza leaf are used in its preparation. Ugu can serve as an alternative to uziza when it is not readily available.[5] Other ingredients include different types of fish, meats, okporoko (stock fish) and Crayfish. Ofé Owere is cooked with Mmanụ nri (palm oil), and ede (cocoyam)[5] is used to thicken the soup.[6]
Ofé Owere is often eaten with Akpu (fufu), utara ji (pounded yam) and utara (garri).
