Hello all

I'm still trying to broaden my nigerian cooking skills ( ), but my hubby is not very cooperative I've heard about a dish that includes beans and corn, but that's all I could get out of him (guess it's not his favorite). Do you know about such a dish? What is it called in yoruba, and do you have a recipe?

Tks, and if you have any other suggestion as what I should learn to cook next feel free to contribute!

I've not been opportune to see or taste a Nigerian dish made with both beans and corn.
I know moin-moin is prepared with only beans, and ekusu being quite the same thing is prepared with only corn.
Hopefully the yorubas come in and help us out.

I looked a bit on the internet and found that :

From that website it is called "adalu" in yoruba and "Agua na Oka" in Ibo. It looks a bit like the beans I usually cook with plantain (but without tomatoes)

This website has a slightly different recipe (with tomatoes) :

I was thinking about something more different... I can't seem to find my next favorite dish

Looks good!
You should just follow that recipe or isn't it good enough?

Ah! Heaven

@ op.It is called adalu elepo in yoruba.

thanks all for your replies

I'm actually a bit disappointed since I was expecting a whole new dish, but it's just "beans porridge" with corn in it.

Laughs!!!!! you have forgotten that beans is very boring, you only enjo it when you make moin-moin out of it. That beans and corn i love, very healthy, i add dry fish to mine when cooking it.

good old days of being a kid growing up in the North!

we all pound the corn to remove the skin for our friend's mom while singing alalube e . Mama Uwani made real good corn and bean meal!! so delicious. but i love her Kwaruru beans the more.

i have eaten fresh corn and beans. Delicious! freshly harvest corn is one blissful summer night dream . so sweet with that red bean

good ol' days. My Kenya roommate make corn and bean here but never like the one made by the Northern Uwas (mamas)

armyofone, the memories you shared got me dreaming i might not find this dish so boring now

ronkebp : yes, I loooooove moin moin, but can't be eating it everyday, can I ?. . Well, maybe I can actually

lol. just cook beans and add corn to it towards the end.
It looks just like in the pic

unless he's talking about something else...
