This menu is gotten from a girlfriend mum at Ibadan, the mum
of Bolanle Onayiga, I watch her doing it carefully and I stole this from this
Yoruba woman. Try this at home.
Ingredients for Gbegiri Soup
• 150g Black
Eyed or Brown Beans
• 1 small
smoked Mackerel/Titus
• 1
tablespoon ground crayfish
• 1 cooking
spoon palm oil
• Pepper
. Ewedu
• Pepper
and salt (to taste)
Before you cook Gbegiri Soup
1. Ensure
you have some Beef & Chicken Stew because the beef for the Gbegiri Soup
comes from this stew.
2. Remove
the beans coat and soak the beans for about 3 hours. This soaking makes the
beans soft so that it cooks in less time. This way there will be no need to use
potash to cook the beans. If you are using peeled and dried beans, you will
need to soak it overnight.
3. Prepare
other ingredients: pound/blitz the pepper and grind the crayfish.
Cooking Directions
1. Start
cooking at medium heat your peeled beans in a pot
2. As you re
cooking the beans, start the Ewedu Soup which is used to eat the Gbegiri Soup.
3. Cook the
beans till it is tender enough. This takes about 1 hour. Always add water,
don’t allow the water to get dried. Let the water be enough to get the right
quantity of soup you require.
4. Use a
masher like the potato masher. With you masher or with a blender, mash the
beans and get a consistency. I do not like pouring the hot beans into my
blender then pouring it back into the pot after blending, but some persons
might like it, is all about choice. And it is not practical to wait for the
beans to cool down, blend it and then continue cooking!
5. When the
smoothness of the beans is okay by you, add the smoked fish, salt, pepper,
crayfish, stock cube and palm oil.
6. Cover the
pot and cook at medium heat for about 5 minutes or till the oil blends with the
rest of the ingredients. This is when the oil changes from red to yellow.
7. Stir
continuously to avoid burnt under your pot
8. Your
Gbegiri Soup is done.
Dish your meat from the stew you have made and eat this soap
