Moi Moi (Steamed Bean Pudding)

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

• 3 cups black-eyed peas, peeled
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp ground crayfish
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground white pepper
• 2 to 3 cups water
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved

Let’s make it

1. Soak the peeled beans in warm water for 10 minutes, rub to loosen skins, then rinse until mostly clean.
2. Blend beans with pepper, onion, oil, crayfish, salt, white pepper, and enough water to make a smooth, pourable batter.
3. Pour into lightly greased cups or ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full, and add egg halves if using.
4. Place in a steaming pot with enough water underneath, cover tightly, and steam gently for 45 to 55 minutes until set.
5. Cool 5 minutes before unmoulding and serving.
