How do I use Cuisine228 egusi seeds in everyday cooking?

Egusi seeds are highly versatile: grind them to make a creamy stew base, toast and crush for a crunchy topping, or add whole to simmering pots for body and flavor. They pair well with leafy greens, tomatoes, palm oil or vegetable oils and a variety of proteins.

• Grind into a paste for traditional egusi soup or sauce.
• Toast lightly and sprinkle over salads or rice for texture.
• Add whole to stews to thicken without flour or cornstarch.
• Blend with spices to make marinades or coating for proteins.

What preparation steps are recommended before cooking?

Rinse the seeds to remove dust, then dry them briefly before processing. For a smooth sauce, grind with a little water or stock; for a toasted snack, spread seeds on a tray and roast until fragrant, stirring often.

• Rinse under cool water, then pat dry with a towel.
• Grind using a spice grinder, food processor, or mortar and pestle.
• Cook with oils and aromatics to release the seeds' nutty aroma.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container away from light and heat.
