How To Make Agoyin Sauce with Dodo cubes

Some like it hard, some like it soft, some like it all soaked in oil, some like the oil well drained, some like it crispy but we all like the sweetness of Dodo cubes. To enjoy the plantain cubes Agoyin sauce is one way to make it extra special

I was wondering if Eve was tempted with dodo in the Garden of Eden how would she have reacted. This is one food item that gets almost finished before it is served on the table. Remember your reaction when a bowl of freshly fried hot dodo is sitting on the kitchen work top as you walk past it?

You take a good look at the bowl, check out the different colours, light brown to dark brown, check to see if you will be found out and then make for your first piece which is very hot, and you are basically eating with your mouth open just to reduce the temperature of the hot food. Dodo is tempting sha 🙂 I will really like to make a video some day of how people manage to eat hot dodo with their mouth open 🙂

So today’s recipe is for my football-loving friends. The guys like it a lot particularly when they can pair it with their drinks. This is also a great starter to a Nigerian 3 course meal.

The main catch here is the sauce. Enjoy as I bring you a sauce very similar to the popular Agoyin sauce that is used for mashed beans.
