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.
