Hi! It's been ages since my last post...I was on a very looong break for a couple of months, but now I'm back with more tried and tested recipes to share with you  :)

Today, I'm going to share a recipe that I learnt online a few months ago; I tried it out a couple of times (and didn't just get it right), until I recently finally perfected it.

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

• 3 cups of brown Beans
• Water
• 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
• Salt to taste

       Sauce:

• 10 cooking spoons of Palm Oil
• 3 chili pepper (ata rodo)
• 2 table spoons of dry ground pepper
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove of fresh Ginger, peeled
• Stock cubes (knorr or maggi cubes)
• Salt to taste

Method:

(Approx. preparation time: 90mins)

1. Wash the beans, and then add it to a pot of boiling water.
2. Add the sliced onions and a little salt
3. Cover the pot. Allow to cook and add more water if needed until the beans is soft (this should take about 45mins to 1hr, so you can start preparing the sauce while it cooks)
4. When the beans is soft and dry, reduce the heat and then use a wooden spoon to mash the beans gently for a few seconds. Set aside.

Sauce:

1. Blend the ginger and fresh pepper together
2. Heat up the palm oil in a pot, and then add the chopped onions and allow to fry for 30 seconds
3. Add the blended ginger and pepper. Allow to fry for another 30 seconds
4. Add the dry pepper, stock cubes, and salt to taste
5. Reduce the heat, and stir continuously until the mixture turns dark brown.

NOTE: Be careful not to allow it char, or the sauce will lose Its' color and may even taste burnt!

Serve the beans with it's sauce. You can serve ewa agoyin with bread, pap or, boiled/fried yam/plantain.
