Rice and beans cooked together and finished with palm oil and onion.
About Ayimolou
On Mange Quoi presents ayimolou as a traditional rice-and-bean preparation associated with Togo and Benin. Rice and beans share the same cooking pot in this palm-oil version.
Onion, chilli and salt provide the listed seasoning, with palm oil contributing to the finished mixture. The recipe keeps the rice-and-bean base central to the dish.
The grains and beans remain the two visible components of the combined preparation. The Togo festival organiser also identifies ayimolou with everyday food culture and the women who sell it.
