Scale
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups of Beans (I use honey beans aka ewa oloyin)
- 1/2 cup of palm oil
- 3 meduim sized Onion
- 3 small dried scotch bonnet(ata rodo)
- Paprika pepper ( 2 teaspoons)
- Two dried Local red bell pepper(Tatashe)
- One sweet bell pepper (yellow pepper)
- Bouillion cubes
- Crayfish (optional)
- Salt
Instructions
- If your beans isn’t supermarket bought, please pick out the dirt and stones first before rinsing with water.
- The next step is to pour your beans in a pot with some clean water which should be more than half the quantity of beans along with sliced onions (the onions would help the beans cook faster) or better still, use a pressure cooker.
- When the beans is almost done and super soft (Mashable level) add some salt for taste and make sure the water in it dries up after mashing to give the desired consistency, then set aside.
- If you have the dried tatashe and chilli pepper that’s great. Most times you can get it at the local market where it is sold separate from the seeds. However, if what you have is the regular pepper that hasn’t been dried, don’t fret it can still work somehow. The goal is to blend the pepper mix) to a rough consistency.
- For the dried pepper you need to soak it in hot water to soften it and avoid damaging your blender. When blending you can also add in your sweet bell pepper. And set aside.
- Now for the magic sauce, we start by bleaching our palm oil, please note that your palm oil has to be bleached on low heat. If you want to enjoy this dish, please you need to forget about the calories that may come with it.
- During the bleaching process, add in your onions and fry till brown, this would give your sauce the agoyin Flavor and aroma.
- After the onions are well fried, go in with your blended pepper and fry well till it darkens, don’t forget to add your Bouillion cube to season and cray fish (if you are about that life) after about 5-8 minutes, your agoyin sauce is ready.
- Serve your agoyin sauce on your already made beans and delve into enjoyment.
