GT Food Talk: Frejon For Catholics Who Don’t Eat Meat On Good Friday
Easter is just around the corner. If you are the type who abstains from eating meat during the Holy week especially on Good Friday, we have suggested an alternative dish that you can enjoy on this day.
The dish is called Frejon. Frejon is a coconut milk and bean soup/pudding that is perfect for Good Friday. Frejon is somewhere between a pudding and a soup.
Frejon is usually eaten by a selection of Christians mostly by Catholics across the world during the Holy Week. Since this set of Christians are strictly forbidden from eating dairy food and meat on Good Friday, this protein delicacy is an alternative dish as it is often served with fish stew or peppered snail and garri. But you should ensure that the garri is very dry.
Frejon is originally a Brazilian dish that was made popular in Nigeria by Yoruba returnees from Brazil who settled in Lagos Island. It is also eaten in Portugal and Sierra Leone.
So, if you have never tried it before, now is a good time to do so.
