Seafood Beniseed Soup – Nigerian Sesame Seed Stew By Yummy Medley


Beniseed or sesame seed, makes one of the most delicious Nigerian stews ever, locally known as beniseed soup. Beniseed soup is a stew very similar in consistency to other nut or seed soups popular in Nigeria, but with its own distinct taste.
