Egusi Soup Paired With Golden Penny Semovita
Some things just naturally go together- yellow and blue, blouses and skirts, music and dance to name a few. Another combination you can put into the category of things that go super well together is Semovita and Egusi. Semo and Egusi is a Naija classic and when prepared the right way, it is not hard to tell why.
