 Procedure: Gbegiri Soup Recipe In Pictures By Yinka

 

  • Peel your beans like you would do to moin moin,
  • place a pot on medium heat, add your potash and boil till its soft,
  • blend your pepper (6 pieces would do) to a smooth paste, I use the traditional broom to mash my beans the same way it is done for ewedu, but in place of the broom a blender can be used.
  • The beans must be warm not scalding hot before blending so you don’t want to destroy your blender.
  • Once the beans is in a smooth paste either from blender/broom, place back on low heat,
  • add one single stock cube, your pepper and your oil, then u stir.
  • Add salt to taste and a little water to reduce the thickness.
  • Leave on low heat for 5 mins, if u want to put locust beans, now is the perfect time,
  • Add it and let it steam for 1 min.
  • Turn off the heat and serve hot.

PS.. Gbegiri gets thickened when cold, little water can be added when warming.

  3. I made food similar to this today. I don't know Nigerian food, but want to learn. I boiled beef bones all day yesterday. I used beef stock to cook white beans. I added onions, garlic, cayenne pepper, tomato, pieces of meat, turmeric and curry powder. Then added clarified butter (ghee) and coconut oil. I have used red palm oil in past. Thanks for sharing. I will look in big city for more African foods. What spices for naija food?
