- 2 tablespoons fermented locust beans (iru)
- 1½ cups fresh pepper mix
- 2 Knorr stock cubes
- 1 tablespoon ground crayfish
- 1 medium Nigerian smoked catfish or titus fish

Method
- In a medium-size pot, bring water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain in a sieve, and rinse with cold water.
- Heat the palm oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the cooked meat, and fry for about 5 minutes to brown it. Remove the meat and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onions, iru, and the fresh pepper mix. Stir and allow to cook for about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the stock cube, ground crayfish, smoked catfish, kompo, and salt to taste. Continue to cook until the water is almost dried up.

- Stir in the fried meat and scent leaf.
- Remove from the heat, and serve.
