Recipe: Gbegiri( mashed beans sauce

Gbegiri 

Ingredients

Beans 1 cup

Palm oil (1.5 serving spoon)

Habanero Pepper/ Rodo (some people use dry pepper also known as cayenne pepper)

Stock cubes

Potash ( a little)

Salt to taste

Locust beans{iru} (optional)

Procedure:
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 (6pieces 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 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 you stir.

Add salt to taste and a little water to reduce the thickness. Leave on low heat for 5mins, if u want to put

 locust beans, now is the perfect time, add it and let it steam for 1min.

Turn off the heat

serve hot with ewedu (I personally enjoy it with ewedu)(optional)

Note :Gbegiri gets thickened when cold, little water can be added when warming.
