You must have added salt to it while it was still hard. Doing that will guarantee it remains hard no matter how long u boil it. Next time add every other ingredient except salt. Salt is added last when ur beans have become softened.

UncleJudax:

Get yourself a pressure cooker, if you can. 10mins, your beans is done.

FemiFaniKayode:


oga oloyin takes a longer time than regular beans

candy:

Nope. Oloyinn actually cooks faster than the rest. That white one op cooked is very stubborn and requires more seasoning.

Isiterere:


oloyin takes less than 1hr, you must be referring to "drum" very stubborn....


ALL IZZ WELL

Came back from class this afternoon, i was very hungry,i could feel the worms in my stomach grooming to devour anything that passes through my throat.

I decided to try something different for the remaining days of the week since rice took the whole of last week till this morning.

I selected the dirt from the beans and introduced it into the pot of water i had placed on the stove earlier. Gbam! (na so i enter wahala ooo)

I waited almost two hours and yet there was no sign of softening (beans of life).....

I quickly rushed to a nearby restaurant to eat fufu as i could no longer wait for the beans...

blidz2:

Rexyl:


You mean doing this works for beans.... If so I am learning a new thing. I like beans but I hate long time it takes to soften. I would like it to be well done like the ones sold by food vendors. The ones that change from white to brown afte cooking.

You would end up eating shaft, rather than the protein component inside the beans.

My method:

1. Boil water to 100 degree

2. Pour the beans inside boiling water.

3. Add a lot of Onions

4. Cover it up and Check after 40-45 minutes

5. Add second water, and allowing it to boil for 15-20 minutes

6. Add palm oil pepper and salt and other stuffs you deem fit.

7. Cover it up for another 5-10 min.

8. Stir

9. Call your friends to bring garri and sugar or Butterfield if you are that rich

10. Serve with garii or Bread or Agidi/Eko/Solid Palp! if you're at home
