Ugu (Pumpkin Leaves) Scrambled Eggs


Still on the use of pumpkin leaves in non traditional soup recipes.

After successfully making Ugwu and Yam Omelette, I also tried making some scrambled eggs with some added shredded pumpkin leaves. It too, turned out quite nice. I could barely taste the ugwu leaves in the eggs, but it was savoury and delicious and I had a general sense of eating healthy...!

The ugwu scrambled eggs was served with boiled yam but I reckon it would also work well served with boiled potatoes, bread or plantains. A really simple recipe using simple ingredients, and easy to make...! A must try.
