HOW TO MAKE MOIMOI
You can eat your Moimoi with pap, custard, garri or bread but I like it with bread. You can go with anyone you like.
TO MAKE IT YOU NEED:
2 cups of beans.
Cooked fish, meat or chicken
Fresh peppers
grounded Crayfish.... 1/2 CUP
Diced medium bulb onion...ONE
stock cubes...TWO
Salt
Fish or meat stock
vegetable oil...3 Tablespoon
Eggs ( 3 boiled eggs and 2 whisked eggs )
OPTIONAL:
Tatashe or shombo
Ground nutmeg
Curry and thyme
Ginger and Garlic.
Green or red bell pepper.
Smoked prawns or shrimps.
Coconut milk or flavour.
ALTERNATIVES:
Beans of choice
Meat or fish
Fresh or dry pepper
Tatashe or shombo
Utensils:
•Mixing bowls
•Measuring cups and spoons
•Deep cooking pot
•Wooden spoon or spatula
•Sieve
•Blender/ hand mixer
*Moi moi containers
•Banana leaves
•Uma leaves
•Plastic containers
•Foil plates
•Foil papers
•Nylons
•Ramekins
•Aluminum foil pans
•Tomato, milk, butter used can.
What to do:
select your beans in order to remove dirt and stone
soak the beans in a lukewarm water or cold water and allow to soak for several hours ...1 to 3 hours or until the beans skins fall out easily.
The beans should be able to peel and break into 2 easily after soaking for several hours.
You can use your hand or mortar and pestle, or blender to peel the skins.
Rub the beans in between your palms to peel off the skins.
Or
You can peel your beans skins with your blender.
Pour your beans in your blender, add twice as much water at the beans.
Pulse the blender briefly for 3 to 4 seconds about 3 to 4 times.
The aim is not to blend the beans but to break up the beans a little bit, so that the skin will fall easily.
Or
Pour your beans in the mortar, and pound your beans lightly with your pestle.
Pour the beans back into a bowl and fill it with water.
Agitate the beans with your hands to and fro until you see that the skins of the beans float to the top of the water.
Now:
Pour of the skins into a sieve and repeat this process until the beans is skin free.
Transfer the peeled beans into a Blender/grinding machine and add your diced onion, cut fresh peppers, and cut tatashe, inside the blender/grinding machine.
Add your water or fish/meat stock almost to the level of the beans and blend/grind on high speed until it becomes smooth.
Pour your blended/grinded beans paste into a large bowl and add your ground crayfish, stock cubes, salt to taste, whisked eggs, vegetable oil, ( few slice onions and pepper to taste) and stir together well.
Now slice some hard boiled eggs and set aside.
Steam your fish or meat or chicken with, pepper, onion, stock cube, salt to taste, and water.
Remove the bones of the fish or meat and cut into small pieces and set aside too.
Pour the beans paste mixture in your aluminum foil pans/ nylons/ cover plastic plates.
Drop your fish or meat or chicken and your sliced egg in it and seal the cover of the plates/ foil pans.
Add 2 to 3 cups of water in a cooking pot and allow to boil.
Grease your moi moi plates/ containers with vegetable oil.
If you want to use banana leaves, wash thoroughly and leave to dry out in a sieve.
After doing that, line the base of the cooking pot with either foil paper or cloth and careful arrange the moi moi in the boiled pot and add water in the cooking pot for every 10 minutes in order to prevent the moi moi from burning and cook the moi moi for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
insert a toothpick into the middle of the moi moi, if the toothpick comes out dry, fairly clean, and without moist, your moi moi is ready.
Turn off the heat, bring it down.
You can now serve!
