EWA AGOYIN!!

Ewa Agoyin....Mood activated😋😋.

    I have always been a lover of Beans (laughs), I do find this very funny because this isn't the typical response expected from most girls lolzzz. Mhennnn....I could miss Wednesday afternoon Okro soup at the dinning hall but not that early morning Saturday beans (those of you, who attended Federal Government College Warri would understand😉). It was no forming when it came to my beans oooo, I could beat a nigga over a plate of beans😂, funny enough that was the only thing they cooked right!!

    I could remember punishing my roommates (juniors) for allowing a fellow classmate of mine seize my plate of beans, in an attempt to sneak it out of the hall into the hostel🙈. Seriously, I was a very quiet girl in school but nothing dares come between me and my beans😆😅.

    Long Story short!! Have you tasted the Yoruba version of your typical beans and stew? O sweet Jesus🙆!! The Yoruba's really did serious justice to this dish sha, I give them that. If you're someone that is a lover of beans as I am. This is for you!!

Yield: about 5 servings.


Ingredients

• 3 cups of Black Eyed Beans
• 0.30L of Palm Oil
• 8-10 Pieces Dried Bell Peppers (Tatsahe)
• 2-3 Pieces Cameroon Pepper
• 1 Tbsp of grounded pepper
• 1 Large Onion
• 1/2 Tbsp of grounded Ginger
• 1/2 Tbsp of grounded Garlic
• 2 Tbsp of Grounded Crayfish
• 1 Maggi cube
• Salt
• Assorted meat or dried fish(optional)
• If you're unable to get hold of Tatsahe because of your location, your could use dried pepper flakes sold at the local market.

Directions

Beans

• Pick, wash beans and put to boil on high heat, when beans is soft (approximately 30 minutes) put in your already chopped onions. With a spoon, take out a few peas and press to ensure that beans is properly cooked and soft. If not, leave for a few more minutes. Add a pinch of salt and with a wooden spoon mash the already cooked, soft beans to a smooth consistency. And just like that " EWA" is ready!!

Agoyin sauce

• Place a pot on cooker set on medium heat and add palm oil(you need a lot of this), allow palm oil to belch(you would notice the oil turns translucent and slightly brow but not black). Make sure to belch oil for only a few minutes.
• Add your chopped onions and fry till translucent, then add yours peppers which have been washed, soaked overnight and blended coarsely(optional, I like like mine this way). Tomatoes are a NO NO for this sauce preparation!!
• Put your cooker on low, add salt, ginger, garlic, maggi. grounded pepper, grounded crayfish, dried fish or meat to the pepper sauce and stir. Let this fry for about 35 minutes, you would perceive the sauce at this stage.
• Stir as the sauce fries, you would notice that it because very dark in color but definitely not burnt.
• It does have a thick consistency with the oil floating through. And just like that......'AGOYIN' sauce is ready

I just had to garnish it with DODO (fried plantains)😉😉....but this dish could be eaten with almost anything eg. yam, plantain, garri, bread etc.
