Pap, or ogi (some call it akamu), is one of those Nigerian meals that are so dear. Just raising a scoop of some of the warm goodness would naturally bring back comforting memories. And the thing about pap is, though it is usually best for those Saturday mornings, it also works well as a quick breakfast before heading out or something light and satisfying for lunch. The beauty of pap is usually revealed when paired with the right food. 

Here are meals you can pair with your pap:

1. Beans 

Beans porridge is a great option to enjoy with pap. The natural ‘palmoily’ creamy, flavorful beans blend perfectly with the smooth texture of pap. This makes this pair a complete, protein-packed meal. 

2. Akara

Akara and pap are one of the most popular Nigerian food combinations. The crispy, pleasant taste of akara balances perfectly with the smoothness of pap. It’s one of those pairings that just feels right and works for any time of the day.

3. Moi Moi

Moi moi is another great choice with pap. It can be plain or made with extras like eggs or fish. Moi moi simply blends so well with the mild sharp taste of pap.  

4. Fried Plantains (Dodo)

Fried plantains are a fantastic option to eat with pap. The natural sweetness of dodo complements the slightly sharp taste of pap. If you are trying this method, you might like to reduce the sweetener you add to your pap or skip it all together. This combo is all you need if you’re in the mood for something sweet.

5. Groundnuts

This is one of the simplest and most affordable side dishes for pap. You can pour a handful of roasted groundnuts into your milky pap to add crunch and a nutty flavor. This option is quick, easy, and always a win.

6. Fried Yam or Sweet Potatoes

This might not be really common everywhere but it works. This combination is especially great when you need a more satisfying meal. If you try this combo, you won’t be very hungry too soon. Add a little pepper sauce to your fried yam or sweet potatoes and you’ve made a great combo.
