[b]I don't know wats with dis food, but nigerians love dis food like crazy! I for one hate beans..but i sure do love dis particular beans recipe die!. So I had dis sudden crave for ewa agoyin some weeks back, and since there's no where around to buy it, i checked it up online and i tried it out. So i tot to share d recipe with you guys. Note-i didn't follow most of their instructions to detail, it was more of doing it my own way and it came out very fine and delicious. how to make ewa agoyin: Ingredient For the beans: *2 cups of red beans *salt to taste For the agoyin sauce: *1 large white onion bulb (slice thinly) *1 cup of palm oil * salt *seasoning cube (i always use knorr chicken) *1 large bell pepper or dry grinded pepper(ata gigun) *habanero peppers *another half size medium onion (some may put tomato, but i did not) *smoked fish *dry blended crayfish(i did not use this tho) *you can put some other things to make ur stew look assorted, but i did not want to deviate too much from d original agoyin taste, so i did not bother. Direction Beans: Add 6 cups of water to a pot, set on low heat. wash and add the beans. leave on low heat for 2hrs or until the beans is very soft. As in very very soft! To give it dat paste like look. Add salt to taste. Sauce: (Agoyin stew) In a blender, grind the bell pepper, habanero pepper and the half medium onion.. (i blended mine to a coarse texture). Then parboil it to remove excess water from it. But i think most of these agoyin people from togo use dry blended pepper(ata gigun) in making theirs. Set a medium sized pot on low heat, add the palm oil. Bleach the oil for long till it becomes clear, (note!: ur kitchen might get smoky!) Turn the heat to minimum, add the sliced onion, stir at interval until the onion is caramelized (the color should be almost black but not burnt).. Then add the parboiled pepper to the fried onion in d bleached oil, fry it for about 15mins. Add in the 'scattered' smoked fish, salt and seasoning. If u like crayfish in ur stew, dis is the time to add it. (note dat the few times i ate the original togolese ewa agoyin, they did not put anything in the stew like fish or what have you.) Taste for seasoning and salt. keep frying d stew on medium heat for another 10mins..or longer until its gets very dark in colour and gets dats crunchy taste..just like d agoyin stew. Serve on beans EnJOY. Note: Some people mash up the beans, there shouldn’t be a need to, if you cook the beans on low heat. it should be perfectly soft with no need for mashing. But you can mash it if u wish. I've also heard dat the agoyin people put akaun(potash) in d beans to make it soften quickly. I didn't see d need for dat. But u can. [/b] 6 Likes |

^^^ lols that's why I use electric cooker for beans. The women that sell it use potash (akaun) to soften the beans fast. |

pendusky: 2.5 hrs? Who get dat kind gas? Next recipe pls.cooking ur normal beans doesn't take dat long..but dis is ewa agoyin. If you have a pressure cooker, dis is when it comes handy. And just like dominique said, those cotonou women who sell it use akaun to make it faster..but i'm not a fan of that idea anyway. 1 Like |
