step 5 Add the chopped liver or kidneys, cook until browned, then add in the boiled mogodu.
step 6 Stir well to coat in the spices, add water as needed, and simmer for another 30-45 minutes to develop flavor.
step 7 Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley.

step 9 Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick and smooth.
step 10 Serve the mogodu hot with pap on the side.

Storage and Reheating Tips.

Store leftover mogodu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much. Pap can be stored separately and reheated by steaming or microwaving with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
