I grow a lot of basil in my garden and I keep looking for an excuse to cook with it. Last night I remembered that I hadn't cooked as a main ingredient in stew. And that led me to this.

When I shared the recipe for Owho Soup the Urhobo version, a facebook asked if I had tried out the Bini version. I told her I hadn't and I would love to. She sent me a couple of video links.
