Ewedu Dindin with Smoked Catfish
Jute Leaf Stir-fry with Smoked Catfish
Yes, keto as served. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A drier, stir-fried version of the traditional Ewedu (Jute Leaf) soup, prepared with a generous amount of palm oil, blended peppers, and chunks of savory smoked catfish. This regional specialty is less soupy and more concentrated, offering a rich, earthy flavor profile with a slight mucilaginous texture.
Key ingredients
Fresh jute leaves (Ewedu), smoked catfish, palm oil, scotch bonnet peppers, onions, crayfish, iru (fermented locust beans), stock cubes, salt.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no starch-based thickeners are used (though uncommon for Ewedu Dindin). Ensure no carb-heavy accompaniments are served.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in seasoning cubes or a slight risk of flour as an unofficial thickener in some establishments. Ensure portion of onion and peppers is reasonable.
