A RECIPE FOR BEANS AND YAM POTTAGE
SHARE THIS POST:

Welcome to Woven Recipes, today we’re giving you an outstanding recipe by teaching you how to prepare beans and yam pottage.

Beans known as Ewa to the Yorubas are unpopular staple foods because it is associated with bloating, flatulence and indigestion. Most people have one reason or the other why they do not eat beans. Yet, it is advisable to to have beans in the family menu especially when you have young children in the family.

“Life is a pot of beans” – Anonymous. 

I wonder how that quote came about. This is what I think it means though; Just throw all the ingredients into the pot and let it cook. While it cooks, don’t bother about digging in because it’d still be hard. At its own time and once it’s soft enough to eat (you’d know), just dig in. Whatever you see is what you get. Sounds really philosophical doesn’t it?
Beans and yam porridge is a hearty dish enjoyed across the country. It’s a one pot dish which has the essential classes of food such as protein, carbohydrate, fat and oil. When combined with yam, it takes it to a whole new level of awesomeness. some people enjoy it watery while other enjoy it thick. You could add other ingredients such as fish but it’s usually better when it’s cooked plain. Beans and yam porridge could be eaten hot the way it is or taken with drinking garri or bread. Enjoy!
