About frejon

coconut bean soup

Frejon is a coconut milk and bean soup which is eaten especially during Holy Week by some Christians, mostly Catholics, across the world. Countries where frejon is popular include Brazil and Nigeria, and also Sierra Leone on Good Friday, or for functions such as weddings. Because dairy foods and flesh meat are strictly forbidden on Good Friday, this dish is a suitable accompaniment to non-dairy foods such as fried fish and peppered snail.
