Sagbata

Sagbata is a traditional Nigerian dish, particularly popular among the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria. The dish is primarily made from beans, often black-eyed peas, which are soaked, peeled, and then ground into a smooth paste. This paste is then mixed with water and other ingredients such as onions, peppers, and spices to create a batter. The batter is then poured into a hot, greased pan and cooked until it forms a firm, spongy cake. Sagbata is typically served as a breakfast dish, often accompanied by ewedu soup or miyan taushe (a type of vegetable soup). The dish is also known for its nutritional value, as beans are a rich source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients. In Hebrew, Sagbata can be translated as סאגבאטה, and in Yoruba, it is known as Sagbata. The dish is deeply rooted in the cultural and culinary traditions of the Yoruba people and is enjoyed for its unique texture and flavor.
