Gbegiri

Gbegiri is a traditional bean soup consisting of honey beans (also called brown beans), smoked or fresh fish, ground crayfish, palm oil, stock, irú (locust beans), salt, and pepper. The beans are soaked, peeled, and mashed to a smooth paste, which is then combined with the other ingredients and cooked until the mixture reaches a slightly thickened consistency. This dish is traditionally prepared by the Yoruba people from South-Western Nigeria, and it is typically enjoyed with a side of ewedu soup, stewed meat (usually from a beef and chicken stew), and Nigerian fufu (swallow foods) such as eba, amala, or tuwo shinkafa.
