My Favorite: Ewa Aganyin with Fried Dodo and Yam.
One meal I absolutely love preparing and devouring is (Ewa Aganyin) beans cooked in a rich, spicy stew, paired with crispy fried dodo (plantain) and fried yam. It's a classic Nigerian combo that's comfort food at its best and full stomach well.
The experience of cooking Ewa Aganyin is always satisfying. The aroma of the stew simmering with spices, the sizzle of plantains and yam hitting hot oil, the flavors melding together it's a treat for the senses. Whether I'm cooking for family, friends, or just myself, this dish never fails to hit the spot.
The powerful ingredient that makes my Ewa Aganyin special is DRY FISH AND PONMO (Cow skin), the smoky flavor it adds to the stew is a mighty one you cant let's go. It gives the beans soup that extra boost of yummy making the whole dish more savory and crave worthy. I love how the dry fish infuses the stew with a deep, rich taste that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of fried dodo and yam.
How I prepare It
- I start by boiling beans, till it is soft.
- In a separate pot, I prepare the stew with Red peppers and plenty onions, and dry fish if ponmo is available you can cut it into small pieces to garnish it
- I fry dodo and yam till crispy.
Ewa Aganyin isn't just food; it's a vibe. It's about the mix of flavors, the textures, the satisfaction of a hearty Nigerian meal and with dry fish in the stew, it's salivate. The combination of the spicy beans, sweet & crispy fried sides, and that smoky dry fish flavor. it's a win win for me
I love serving this at gatherings or enjoying it alone. The dish brings people together it's communal food at its finest. Whether weekday dinner or weekend treat, Ewa Aganyin hits differently every time.
Dry fish and cow skin is the secret to my Ewa Aganyin magic.
