thumb|Ekuru Ekuru is a cuisine native to the Yoruba people in Nigeria, Benin, Togo. It is often prepared with black eyed peas or beans.
It is similar to moin-moin another Yoruba delicacy made from black-eyed peas or cowpeas occasionally. The black eyed peas are first de-hulled, then ground into a fine paste. Unlike moin-moin which is ground with pepper, onion, and other ingredients, Ekuru is ground plain. After grinding and mixing till fluffy, Ekuru is wrapped up in leaves or tin cans (similar to moi-moi) and steamed.
