Ewa Agoyin (Stewed Beans Porridge) – Feyisope


Ingredients

2 Cup of Beans

Salt

Maggi

Red Oil

2 Bulbs of Onions

3 jamaican peppers

2 tomatoes

Dry Pepper

Recipe 

  • Wash the beans thoroughly to get rid of the dirt
  • Put the beans in a large sauce pan, and pour in about 2 cups of water
  • Slice a whole bulb of onion into thin slices and add into the pot of beans (the key to the beans being sweet is using a lot of onions).
  • Add a quarter tea spoon of salt and one cube of magi
  • Allow to boil for 1 hour 45 mins or more, depending on how soft you want it to be

Sauce

  • Blend the hot Jamaican peppers and half a bulb of onion and the tomatoes
  • Put in a small sauce pan and allow to boil to get rid of all the water
  • In a frying pan, add enough red oil to cover the base of the pan ( you can add more, depending on how much oil you would like the sauce to have)
  • Put on low heat and allow the oil to bleach
  • Cut the remaining onion into tiny slices and add to the hot oil
  • Allow to fry until crispy
  • Add the boiled pepper and fry for about 10 minutes on medium heat
  • Add a pinch of salt and a cube of magi
  • Add 2 spoons of dry pepper and allow to fry for another 5-7 minutes on low heat.
