African Beans is another food
that we use to do many dishes in Africa ; we
use it to prepare moin moin, Gbegiri soup, ewa aganyin, rice and beans dish,
dodo and beans, gari and beans, and so many other dishes. I discovered that
whatever dish you cook with these African beans, it will always be delicious.
- 2
Cups of African Beans
- 1
Cubes Maggi
- 1
Red Chopped Bell Pepper
- 1
litre Vegetable Oil
- 1
Large Chopped Onion
- Salt
- Water
- 1
teaspoonful Black pepper
Method
- Soak
the beans in warm water for 20- 25mins
- Remove
the shells from the beans by gathering the handful of beans in both hands
and by rubbing them together, rinse
properly to remove the fallen shells this process could take up to
35mins.
- Blend
the beans with ¼ litre -1/2litre water
portion by portion because you will not be able to blend all of them at once, blend it very
smoothly and creamy pour it in a side bowl, pour the rest of the water in
the blender to rinse the thickened beans around the blender. The mixture
should look very white and thick in texture.
- Dissolve
the Maggi cube in a bit of warm water, add it to the beans mixture
- Add
chopped onion and pepper and black pepper, and a teaspoonful of salt to
taste then stir very well
- Place
a frying pan on the cooker and pour the vegetable oil
- When
the oil is hot, scoop a small amount of the mixture of beans, like pancake,
into the hot oil (Mixture should be in1/2 an inch a part from each other
to avoid merging together.) Scoop in about 2 - 3 spoonful at a time
- A
scooped mixture should be cooked after 5mins on one side and then turn it
to the other side until golden brown.
- Remove
it and let the oil drain then serve.
It can be eaten at breakfast time, with
Custard, Pap, (Ogi) Eko (Solid pap in the leaf), Bread, Gari and lots
more.
Happy Cooking :)
