What do you put in your ekuru to make it taste good? Recipe? And what do you use to eat it? Palm oil or okro soup? |

Ebony-Silk: Nah not that, i don't want to go through the hassle of spending so many hours on air during the same period, besides going with a few peeps So i have decided to go to Naija straight from here and the rest of my holidays would be for Yanks as usual Most likely in the early summer next year, When i go to Naija, i would travel all the way to Ekiti to go and sample the local delicacies And if i see u in America when i come through, you would have to make some food for me |

Re: How And What Do You Use To Eat Ekuru? by detruth: 6:34pm On Nov 29, 2008 |
I speak not as a specialist, nevertheless, let me borrow from some experience I got watching my mum cooked the dish while at home. Just the way you prepare the beans for akara by soaking, removing the skin and grinding, so also you start its preparation. The only differrence is that you add nothing to it before grinding/blending. You grind the beans alone, which now leave you with whitish matter. This matter is now stirred thoroughly in order to allow pulping (this I will tell you later) After the blended matter is light enough (the volume increases with stiring) after stiring, it is now wrapped in leaves and steamed just the way you do moinmoin. (please no salt is added at any of this stage). The steaming does'nt last as long as moinmoin, only ensure that water is added at intervals to avoid burnt sacrifice! Steaming time is between 30 to 40 minutes. This is Ekuru! What gives taste to Ekuru is the stew that is served along with it. After unwapping it, the stew is normally poured on it head. The fried stew is done with pepper, crayfish, seasoning, flavours and lots of sliced onions. Very important! Please use palm oil and not vegetable oil. You don't eat Ekuru the way you eat moinmoin. After pouring the stew on the prepared Ekuru, you them mash it into pulp using your hand. The pulp will easily mash if you really stired it well in the beginning during preparation. While you mash on ground, you now add salt to taste. Salt is also avoided in the beginning to help aid mashing. Companions: Ekuru (a local dish among Yourbas) is locally taken with solid pap (eko). So also when little bolied okro is added (on ground) to it, some part of Yorubas also take it with eba "garri". This is the little I know about Ekuru. I hope I make a little sense to someone out there. 1 Like |
