March is...

...For Ewa Riro
 this National Nutrition Month.

We are sticking with our
 proteinacious ingredient today 

- Beans - cooking and presenting it

 in a more recognizable form - Ewa riro.

Ewa riro, served plain and sweet!

If you are reading this post,
 the assumption is that you have 
a basic working knowledge of 
how to make ewa riro. 
We are simply showcasing it here for
 National Nutrition week 
and looking at different ways 
to take it up a notch or spice up the
 same old ewa riro into something spectacular.

Ewa ati agbado - Adalu

The choices of what to cook into it
 or add onto it as a side dish are limitless 
and up to your imagination.

 Sweet Corn (agbado), yam, 
green or ripe plantains, ede pupa (red crawfish) 
eja yiyan (smoked roasted fish) etc.

Ewa riro, served with dodo - fried plantain - my favorite!

 You could use palm oil
 as is traditionally usually done

 or use groundnut or vegetable oil.

Ewa ati bread.

  You can eat this for breakfast 

with bread - think burrito style, 
or with yam slices for lunch, 

or even with a side of rice for dinner. 
Anyway you serve it, it's a great source of protein and fibre and potassium.

Ok. I'm hungry now for that dish of ewa ati dodo...

Yummy!
