Oil less Efo riro

Fit fam Kwenu hayy!!! For those that do not know, Kwenu is a salutation mostly used By the people in the eastern part of Nigeria. I say mostly because I just borrowed it for my post lol. At some point last year, I made a post about oil less efo riro and got a lot of questions about it. I realized I never did it justice By writing a full on recipe. If you are trying to Be health conscious and still indulge in your favourite delicacies, (falztheBadguy has changed what this word means to me) there are techniques you can use. Oil less efo-riro is one of them amongst many others. I used beef, tripe, goat meat and shrimp in my recipe But if you are on a strict diet, I suggest you opt for fish and possiBly shrimp if your cholesterol level is in check. If it’s not, you can skip the shrimp and opt just for the fish. The Nigerian fit fam life does not have to be a bore. Enjoy my recipe of oil less efo riro.
