An Igbo Girl Tries a Yoruba Delicacy For the First Time - Making EWEDU & GBEGIRI - Zeelicious Foods

[@faidatabiola1372]

And for the gbegiri pour your beans into the pot with some water ,after it has soften,use your ijabe(kitchen broom)to mash it,after that u sieve it to remove the shaft then pour back inside your pot and add your seasoning and oil You’ll love it That’s the way

[@faidatabiola1372]

@zeelicious try the cooking method of the ewedu and gbegiri For the ewedu put some water in ur pot then add a little bit of bicarbonate or potash so your ewedu won’t look dark wen u are done,put your ewedu after the water already boiled wait for some minutes,check if the leaves are soft then use your ijabe(kitchen broom)to mash it till u get a smooth consistency then add ur seasoning and salt

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Thank you so so much!!❤❤❤

[@abigailadekala9468]

A nice try dear, but next time before pouring the ewedu in the pot, add a little water in the pot first and add some potash and bring to a boil then add the blended ewedu. This will fasten the cooking rate as well as make the ewedu draw well.

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Thank you for this tip!❤

[@CA-tq7kl]

My way of cooking ewedu that draws well without using potash or bicarbonate is remove the ewedu leaves and pour hot water on the ewedu. After the hot water cools down, blend the ewedu in the blender and it will draw very well. Trust me.

[@ibkvlog6854]

That's a genius hack, do you recook the ewedu after blending ?

[@CA-tq7kl]

@@ibkvlog6854 yes, cook for few minutes and is done. Bon appetite.

[@Olabisi_tv]

@@ZeeliciousFoods and don't blend too much like you did in the video, blend within two seconds and stop, repeat that once or twice again so as to retain some of d leaves.

[@bunmiaduloju2643]

Salt is a no no for ewedu. You can stick with only seasoning cubes.

[@adetulaoluwatoyin5211]

& also always press the quick blend button, don't press the long blend button you use for peppers & beans.

[@ayomideibrahim7057]

For best taste experience, cook your ewedu with locust beans and Agbodo( those small dried fishes) with Crayfish before blending with seasonings. It has better taste than blending before cooking. If using crayfish powder add after blending

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Thank you so much!❤❤

[@Olufisayomariam]

Weldone. The yoruba in me will not allow me blend ewedu. I prefer doing it the local way with the use of ijabe (kitchen broom). Also, i love my ewedu with egusi. Maybe when next you want to prepare ewedu, cook it first with either bicarbonate or potash first before blending.

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Yes I will…thank you so so much.

[@Tifegbadas]

Well done Winnie. But gbegiri is more about the water of the beans and not the beans itself. You need the water from the beans.

[@usmanrabi5996]

I am surprised people don't know Winnie is Igbo! She has said so herself earlier on.

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

I have said it so many times..😊

[@ayomideogundipe]

You did well. But for the ewedu if it is too thick it won’t draw. But it looks delicious 😋

[@modupeolaseinde9074]

You actually did well, really. I kid you not, some yoruba girls can not make this as almost perfectly as you. The only thing you left out just as you mentioned is the potash. Potash is added at the beginning for the best result, usually with some water. Some amount of water goes into the pot, then your potash basically to dissolve the potash, once it's fully dissolved, then you add your blended ewedu. That's all.

[@adedolapoadegbaye9182]

You did a good job Winnie, but I will advise that next time, you try the cooking method before blending. It helps get rid of that weedy smell and makes it draw more.

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Yes I will. Thank you!❤❤

[@omololaoladejo3395]

It is the specie of ewedu that you used that's why it is not drawing.

[@chinwa1912]

Don’t you think you name this person to acknowledge her work. Surely she has a youtube

[@beckysilky2868]

I never made this either and I only had amala and ewedu once and that was during my service year more than a decade ago and I totally enjoyed it. I don't think I will even try making it cos I've not seen ewedu and locust beans here in our markets (East). I'll just leave it all alone lol. Thank you for sharing. I think I'll look forward to when I'll see the leaves to face my fears cos...wow I can't imagine making this 😁🥰 I fear I'll spoil things lol

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

I totally can relate with you…the dish is yummy but feels a little complicated..😁 But now that I have tried it once, it’s going to be a staple in my house. So yummy!

[@beckysilky2868]

[@salamatabu5057]

Hi, My guess is that the leave is available in the East but goes by a different name.

[@praisegodibeme]

​​@@salamatabu5057 Exactly. You can find the leaf in the East. It's called Ahinghara (usually used to cook Yams and vegetables). Opei and iru are the same

[@uzomavictoria1079]

Omg! This is a whole different new method for me. I love using the ewedu broom and I love seeing my 'Iru'. I don't use crayfish 😁. You can also add a lil potash if you like it. Now, there are some ewedu in the market that do not have that slimmy look. I guess it's the leaf. It's like you have diff kinda kind of Ogbona, some are slimmy and others aren't. Well-done Zee❤

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

Thank you so much for this!❤️

[@monisolaalli5917]

Well done Winnie, this is good. Potash isn't healthy, I would prefer you cook your ewedu without covering it at any time and then blend it with your locust beans, then cook it with the seasoning for just few seconds.

[@kerenhappuch6984]

Am wondering how your golden hands will mess up cos that meal will be sumptuous

[@ZeeliciousFoods]

There's no way that ewedu would have the required slip, cooked like that.
