Moi Moi (Steamed Bean Pudding)

• 2 cups black-eyed beans, soaked and skins removed
• 1 red bell pepper and 1 fresh pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 stock cube or salt to taste
• 2 boiled eggs, sliced (optional)

A West African steamed pudding made from blended black-eyed beans and peppers. High in plant protein and fibre.

Method

1. Blend the peeled beans with the peppers, onion and enough water to make a thick, smooth batter.
2. Stir in the oil and seasoning.
3. Pour into greased ramekins, small bowls or leaves, adding egg slices if using, and cover.
4. Steam over simmering water for 45 to 60 minutes, until firm and a knife comes out clean.

Tips

• Soaking the beans makes the skins easy to rub off.
• Moi moi keeps well in the fridge for two to three days.
