Beans Porridge and Plantain + Beef Stew
Beans popularly known as Ewa among the yorubas is a source of Protein and Fibre. Beans is enjoyed in different ways, Ewa Aganyin (Mashed Beans and Sauce), as a Porridge or as a side dish to accompany Rice, Yam etc and can be made in different ways. When made into a Porridge/Pottage, It can be had with Garri, Plantain, Yam and so on.
My favorite type of beans is Ewa Oloyin (Brown Honey Beans), it doesnt take as long as other varieties of beans to cook and has a sweet note when had on its own. I opted to make my beans porridge with plantain and some uziza leaves, which just makes this dish full of aroma and flavor.
Fried Rice
Nigerian fried rice recipe is one of the best exports out of Africa. It is perfectly okay to call this recipe West African fried rice because we generally cook fried rice the same way across West Africa – Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Cotonou, etc. You can also call this dish vegetable fried rice because it uses tons of veggies, and you can easily make this fried rice recipe vegan by swapping only one ingredient (yes, it is that easy).
