Sambeni Ewa Agoyin Sauce (Agoyin pepper sauce)

Agoyin Sauce is a traditional Nigerian dish known for its rich, smoky flavour and thick, spicy texture. Made from a slow-cooked blend of dried peppers and onions, the sauce is paired with soft, mashed beans (Ewa Agoyin) for a deliciously satisfying meal.

The term 'Ewa Agoyin' was coined from Ewa, meaning beans in Yoruba, and Agoyin, which is a tribe in Benin Republic or a general term used by Nigerians to refer to Beninese and Togolese people. Ewa Agoyin was therefore used to describe the type of beans prepared by these people of Togolese and Beninese origins
