Beans

In Nigeria, beans is not a side dish. It is a meal with a following. Cooked long and low until the skins give way, seasoned with pepper, onion and palm oil, it fills you in a way rice never quite manages.

Here you will find Ewa Agoyin, the mashed beans finished in dark spiced pepper oil that Lagos eats with Agege bread, along with Nigerian Beans and Fried Plantain, Moi-Moi steamed from ground beans, Akara for the mornings, and Beans in Litres when you want a tub to last the week.

Good for vegetarians, good for eating well on a budget, and good for a Nigerian who has been away too long. Prices in RWF. Eat in, collect it, or have it delivered across Kigali.
