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.

The use of potash should be discouraged pls.This can be done without potash.It will take longer but definitely healthier

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?
