My favorite food when I come to one of the eastern mkts.
Odudu or Azima in my lingo; that dark brown beans that is cooked all night long with firewood.

Don't know the English name

Looks like a sacrifice.

The fried egg is inviting.

Ate it growing up. It was usually cooked overnight, it was then mixed with akpu mmiri (wet cassava chips, especially ones shredded with knives) palm oil, ehuru (African nutmeg) akanwu (potash), crayfish, salt and pepper while some do sprinkle in ugba/ukpaka.....na traditional meal that takes time to prepare!

You can be creative with it, accompanying with carbohydrates such as yam but it can take forever to cook, reason it is regarded as an old woman's delicacy!

Oh, thank u
Was looking for what we can eat it with or how to prepare it,found nothing.

I love traditional foods. Just that to prepare some of them takes a whole day.

This one is like cooking cocoyam. It takes ages but it's the best tuber ever. And you are not guaranteed it won't itch you when eating even though you cooked it hours

But eating it with ncha is worth the time spent cooking it.
That thing is super sweet

Finally made akara from lentils!

Next experiment will be making it from butter beans.

Way easier removing the outer coating than that of our regular black-eyed peas. Soaked it and came back 2hrs later, very easy washing off the outer coatings.....less stressful!

That's not true. Black eyed beans is rich in potassium and taste really great.
It's my mum favourite beans.

I find lentils less stressful and the variety of black-eyed peas I find here in Nairobi is high blood pressure inducing when it comes to de-coating! I doubt if up to 1% of Kenyans eat black-eyed peas!

This fried egg again did you take a course on frying eggs?

I have a preference for the one from lentils, it has its unique flavour though I grew up with the ones from black eyed beans.

Not the ones you can get in naija. This one is a total disaster. There is nothing you put in that beans that will make u like it . Akara that is the last resort is still not sweet.
I have since dumped it to the brown one. Oloyin() Just that it's very expensive here.

That one your mum love is still my favourite. We call it iron beans. Better than the brown one. Worst is dangote beans.
