Ekoki

(Koki beans, Haricots koki, Koki de Niébé, Gateau de haricots, Bean cake)

Although it takes a lot of time to prepare this Cameroonian delicacy, it is a staple of street food items in the country, especially the southwestern region. The savory pudding is made with koki beans (black-eyed peas) which are soaked, peeled, ground, then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed.


The meal is often enriched with the addition of hot peppers and onions. Although ekokis are regularly sold at street stands, they are also popular in restaurants and bars. It is recommended to pair ekoki with boiled plantains.
