Anleitung
1. Thoroughly rinse the waterleaf in water to ensure it is free of dirt. Drain well, and chop the waterleaf very finely.
2. Place a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the palm oil, and let it heat up before carefully adding the tomato and chile purées.
3. Allow the purées to boil for about 2 minutes. If necessary, lower the heat to prevent scorching.
4. Stir in the waterleaf and water, and let boil for another 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the salt and seasoning cube, and let boil for another 2 minutes.
6. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
7. Bring the water to a boil in a pot.
8. Gradually stir in the cassava flakes, and cook until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
9. Serve the eba as a swallow alongside your soup.
