How to make Moin Moin/Moi Moi

🧂 Ingredients

• 1½ cups dry beans

  black eyed peas or brown beans-''ewa oloyin''
• 1 red bell pepper/tatashe

  medium size
• 1 habanero

  scotch bonnet/rodo
• ¾ cup diced onion
• 2 Tablespoons crayfish
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 bouillon cubes
• ¾ cup cooked minced fish
• 3 hard-boiled Eggs
• salt

  to taste
• 1 inch ginger

Instructions

• 1 Soak the beans for 15 minutes depending on how dry your beans are. The drier
  beans tend to be ready for peeling faster than the less-dried beans.
• 2  Pour the Beans in the Blender and add twice as much water as the Beans (by
  volume) blend the Beans for 3-4 seconds per time and repeat this 3 to 4 times –
  Remember we are peeling the beans and not blending them.
• 3 Pour the beans back into a large bowl and add enough water to fully cover the
  Beans. Now agitate the Beans with your fingers and the skin will float then
  quickly separate the skin from the Beans by pouring through a sieve.
• 4 Once that is done, pour the peeled Beans (the skinless Beans) inside a Blender,
  together with the Red Pepper, Habanero, and Onion – Blend to the smoothest
  consistency you can ever get.
• 5 Combine the blended mixture with the remaining ingredients except for the boiled
  Eggs.
• 6 Spray or brush the container you will be using with oil. Pour the mixture into
  the container and place the boiled egg over it. Cover it with a lid or seal with
  foil paper.
• 7 Line the base of a large pot with either foil paper, sticks, leaves. Add enough
  water to the pot. (Add just enough not to submerge the moi moi bowls). This is
  to prevent the Moin moin from sticking to the base of the pot in case the water
  dries up before the moin moin gets done.
• 8 Arrange the Moin moin inside the Pot and cook till done. This should take about
  45 minutes to 1 hour a little more or less depending on the quantity of the Moin
  moin mixture in each container.
• 9 To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the middle of the Moin Moin/Moi.
  The toothpick should come out fairly clean and not wet.
• 10  Remove from heat and serve.
