Beans Stew Recipe also referred to as beans porridge Recipe or Ewa riro is a Nigerian delicacy from the Yoruba speaking part of the country.

Nigerians love beans and we have a lot of beans recipes like moi moi, akara, gbegiri, agoyin beans, rice and beans (plain or jollof), etc.

The stewed beans recipe is one of the methods of cooking Nigerians bean (Ewa riro).

You can use lentils, black-eyed beans, honey beans, or brown beans to make this recipe.

One of the reasons I love this beans stew recipe is because it is easy and quick to prepare.

What defines a great dish of beans for me is the smoothness; the beans should be super soft without being all mushy.

I normally soak the beans to achieve that. This helps to soften the beans making it cook faster without breaking up.

Similarly, soaking and rinsing the beans very well helps to reduce the flatulence effect of eating beans (legumes) because they contain a particular sugar, called oligosaccharide.
