"Egbo" means over cooked corn. While "ewa" is known as beans. egbo is a yoruba delicacy that can be eaten alone with pepper sauce or paired with beans making it even more delicious. This food reminds me of my secondary school days there's a woman who sells this food any time me and my siblings comes back from school we must buy it became a regular lunch for us. Fresh corn can be used. But I prefer dried corn taken to the mill for "sirfe" that's removing the outer covering of corn.
Wash and cook till very very soft. Cook the beans too till very soft. Your "egbo ati ewa" is ready below is the special pepper soup to accompany them.enjoy
