Here in Nigeria, we have some good proteinous food that can go well with bread.
1.) Beans And Bread
Nigerian beans porridge is the definition of complete comfort and can be paired with garri (cassava flakes), bread or ogi (fermented, corn starch porridge), If you do not have access to Nigerian brown beans or honey beans, black eyed peas are fine, they just take a little longer to cook and might not be as rich in flavor. It is a real good combination that go well with bread.
2.) Moi Moi And Bread
Moimoi, a savory steamed bean pudding, is a beloved Nigerian dish. Pairing it with bread creates a unique contrast of textures and flavors. Slice a piece of moimoi, place it on a slice of bread, and enjoy the moist, flavorful goodness that comes from the combination of the soft moimoi and the slight crunch of the bread.
3.) Bread And Fish Stew
Stew is a versatile and flavorful Nigerian sauce that complements bread beautifully. Whether it’s tomato-based stew or a rich, spicy vegetable stew, spreading it on a slice of bread creates a mouthwatering treat. The bread soaks up the flavors of the stew, resulting in a delicious and satisfying meal.
4.) Bread And Noodles
This is another amazing meal, it’s a combination of two delicacies that gives a great taste, just like adding hot beans or akara in the middle of your bread, try it with noodles, you’d see what you’re missing out on.
5.) Bread And Akara
Akara, or bean cakes, are deep-fried fritters made from ground beans. When sandwiched between slices of bread, they create a delectable and satisfying meal. The crispy exterior of the akara pairs perfectly with the softness of the bread, providing a delightful contrast of textures.
6.) Bread And Fried Eggs
The combination of bread and eggs is a classic worldwide, and Nigeria is no exception. From simple fried eggs to flavorful omelets or scrambled eggs, there are countless ways to enjoy this combination. Spread butter or mayonnaise on a slice of bread, add your choice of eggs, and you have a hearty breakfast or a quick snack that never fails to impress.
7. Bread And Boiled Eggs
This delicacy has quite the taste, but it’s not really eaten as the way it combined with fried eggs, I urge you to try the combination.
8.) Bread And Mayonnaise
People who don’t like mayonnaise and bread, wetin dey happen? Mayonnaise has to be one of God’s greatest gift to man. Combined with bread, it’s heavenly. I bless the day I tasted that combo.
9.) Bread And Coconut
For a tropical twist, try combining bread with coconut. Toasted coconut flakes sprinkled on bread provide a delightful crunch and a hint of sweetness. Alternatively, you can spread coconut jam or coconut butter on a slice of bread for a rich and indulgent treat that captures the essence of Nigerian coastal cuisine.
10.) Bread With Peanut Butter
love this so much I’m tempted to put it first, but sadly, I can’t. Everything about peanut butter is great, but we have to be honest that it is not as versatile as butter. And that’s why this beauty sits at number two.
11.) Bread With Jam
This is highly nutritious and tasty, but it comes last for me. There’s something about its level of sweetness that I find… too sweet? I like it in doughnuts though. Very splendid.
Bread is a versatile and beloved food in Nigeria, and when paired with various ingredients, it becomes the foundation for an array of delicious combinations.
