How to cook ewa agonyi

   Ewa means beans in yoruba,but that agonyi is just the adjectives words that stimulate the stylish pronunciation of beans. 

   This can be defined as the simple way of cooking with beans plus stew.

  Ewa Agoyin is a delicious food that is made in yoruba land and usually served with well cooked beans. In the land of yoruba ,they have a different way of cooking beans.
    Ingridients
 below are the imgridient for ewa agoyin:

1. pepper(atarodo) dry or wet
2. 1 onion
3. Salt to taste
4. 2-3 tin milk of palm oil
5. 3 cups of beans(white)

N.B All the ingridients above will be used simultaneously for the good taste.
    Step 1
 After removing the bad ones inside the beans ,you can now set it on fire by washing it , then slice the onions inside it and cover it for well done cooking.
   Step 2
 After through with the step 1 ,when it is exactly 30minutes on fire add a teaspoon of salts in it and add small water then cover it back.About 3 minutes should do it.
    Step 3
Once you have done that,go make a taste from the fire make sure the beans really soft to your taste.
    Step 4
Now you fry the pepper sauce not like the regular tomato stew so you would be frying for the next 15-25 minutes. In no time you will notice the sauce drying and turning dark. if it is not dark, it’s not ewa agoyin sauce.
You need the pepper to fry till it takes on the form and texture of small pebbles, or grainy like, like sand. So you would spend the next few minute in the kitchen stirring this sauce.
Partly the reason we use the wooden spoon. I think it does a better job than the regular cooking spoon. lots of splashes will occur at first, it dies down with time.
The sauce is already turning dark, we are not yet there but we would definitely get there.
By this time, your kitchen should have been enveloped by the wonderful aroma. If your neigbours are from Yoruba, they should be gathering together already.
Add a cube of seasoning and salt to taste. Fry for another 3-4 minutes and you are done with the making of ewa agoyin (Yoruba pepper sauce).
It should be dried but not burned.
Boiling the beans
You will need:
3 cups of beans
Half teaspoon of salt
Serving: 3 Persons.
In Nigeria we have both brown and white beans (black eyed peas). you can cook any color or specie.
Boil about 5 cups of water, add the beans and allow it to boil for about 5 minute, turn off the heat, wash and set aside.
Boil another 5 cups of water and start cooking the beans in it. You can add more water in-between.
You want it really soft. Add a teaspoon of salt
Cook until the beans is really soft then go ahead and serve with the pepper sauce and with any soft bread.
