When meats are fully cooked, remove from pot and place aside for later.

Add the cassava leaves into the pot of seasoned water (if more liquid is needed, use extra 1-2 cups of water).

Add Maggie cubes, grind scotch bonnet pepper, and more seasoning as needed for taste. Cook for about 45 mins or until it is thoroughly cooked.

Allow all liquid to simmer gently until it reaches a thick consistency and then return the cooked meat/fish to the pot.

Add Red palm oil to the cassava leaves and cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve with warm rice and cool drink for thirst!
