OP! This isn't a common street food in Nigeria because I've never heard of it before.

Then you don't go out often and maybe you're not a Yoruba.

Ojojo, which is also called “water yam fritters or water yam akara”, is a common street food in Nigeria, you get to find this recipe a lot in Lagos and other Yoruba states. If you have never eaten any water yam recipes before, it will be nice to start with Ojojo.
These crunchy yam fritters are indeed tasty and easy to make in the comfort of your home; all you need is your fresh water yam and very few veggies and seasonings. I love to have Ojojo with custard, but you can still pair it with pap or oatmeal or enjoy ojojo just the way it is like your regular snacks.
Follow the steps below and also watch the video above to see how to make Nigerian Ojojo.


Ojojo Ingredients

1. 1 medium sized water yam
2. 1 scotch bonnet pepper, chopped
3. 1 medium onion, chopped
4. 1 stick of spring onion, chopped
5. 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning
6. Salt to taste
7. Enough oil for frying

Steps on How to Prepare Ojojo

1. Peel off the water yam skin using a knife, cut into chunks and rinse in water.
2. Use hand held grater with tiny holes to grate the yam chunks into a bowl.
3. Season the water yam paste with all-purpose seasoning, onions, spring onions, pepper and salt.
4. Using your hand, mix the yam paste thoroughly until all the seasonings and the veggies are incorporated.
5. On a medium- high heat, heat up oil in a pan deep enough to fry all the water yam paste.
6. Once the oil is heated, use your fingers to scoop the water yam paste forming a ball with the paste and gently drop in the hot oil.
7. Repeat this process multiple times and don’t over crowd the pan, fry each side of water yam balls for 3 minutes, and then use a slotted
spoon to flip the balls to the next side to fry as well.
8. Once you notice the edges turning slightly brown and the balls looks crisp on the outside, it means they are fried. Remove the water yam
from the oil and drain on paper towels, repeat the same process with the remaining water yam paste until you are done with everything.
9. Ojojo is ready, serve hot with Custard or Akamu.

Ofe Nsala Soup is a simple delicious white soup prepared with goat meat; it is one of the simplest soups made with a thickener. Yam is a very important ingredient in Ofe Nsala soup, as it is used to thicken the soup to give it a nice texture and look.

You can either boil raw yam and then mash into a smooth paste for Ofe Nsala recipe or dissolve yam flour (poundo flour) in water to thicken the soup.
However, ofe is traditionally garnished with Utazi leaves, but if you don’t have utazi, you can use Uziza leaves or spinach to add some greens to the soup; you just need a little of the leaves because it is not a vegetables soup. You can pair ofe Nsala with pounded yam, semolina or fufu,.

Ewa Agoyin Bean is a quick and easy beans recipe prepared by mashing cooked beans into smooth paste; this is one of the simplest and popular bean recipes in the Western part of Nigerian which is often sold by street hawkers or Mama put.

Ewa agoyin actually originated from the Neighboring countries (Togo, Ghana, Benin Republic and Cotonou), but has become a traditional meal in Nigeria.
Ewa agoyin is very delicious even though it looks like baby food; what makes this bean special is its distinct soft and marshy nature (it is soft and smooth on the tongue). See how to mash your beans perfectly in the video above.

• Enough water to cook the beans

How to Cook Ewa Agoyin Beans

Ewa agoyin sauce/stew is a simple pepper sauce cooked in palm oil; it has a unique and irresistible aroma which comes from the fried onions and pepper; it is one of the simplest stew recipes that doesn’t require much ingredients.

“Ewa” simply means Beans in Yoruba language, while “Agoyin”is a word used by Nigerians to describe people from other parts of Africa such as Ghana, Togo, Benin republic, Cotonu; the word was use to describe the way people from these regions make their beans meal and it is more peculiar to the Togolese and Cotonu people. “Ewa agoyin” is also spelled “Ewa Aganyin”.

Ewa agoyin stew/sauce is usually served over mashed beans, agege bread, boiled yam and most times boiled srice. See the steps on how to cook Ewa Agoyin stew and also watch the video too.

Ewa Agoyin Ingredients

1. 4 medium red bell peppers, (tatashe)
2. 3 red chillies (shombo)
3. 1 medium onion, halve into two
4. 1 tablespoon roughly broken dried peppers
5. 2 scotch bonnets
6. 1 tablespoon pepper seeds, optional
7. 1-2 seasoning cubes
8. 1 tablespoon ground crayfish
9. 1 ½ cup palm oil
10. Salt to taste

How to Prepare Ewa Agoyin SteW

1. Combine all the peppers and ½ onion together to blend with just a little water and set aside.
2. Place a medium pot on heat and add palm oil into it, cover the oil to bleach for 10 minutes on high heat.
3. Chop the other onion into long stands while the oil is bleaching; at this point, the oil must have turned golden.
4. Turn off the burner and add the chopped onion and the roughly crush dried pepper to the oil and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the onion is
caramelized but not burnt.
5. Turn the heat on to medium low; add the blended pepper to the oil and fry, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the pepper is properly fried, the oil will rise to the top, season the sauce with ground crayfish, seasoning cubes and salt, stir and
leave to simmer on medium heat to infuse aroma.
7. Add the pepper seeds if you’re using these and stir the sauce occasionally to prevent form burning at the bottom of the pot. You will notice
the colour of the stew becoming darker which is exactly what you want, keep stirring to get your preferred colour and texture.
8. Ewa agoyin sauce is ready once it is dark and gritty. Note: I don’t really like my ewa agoyin sauce to be very dark, so I put off heat once I
have achieved a slightly dark colour like what you are seeing above. Serve ewa agoyin over mashed beans.
