Directions

Step 1
Soak black-eyed peas in warm water for 30 minutes. Rub vigorously to remove skins, rinsing multiple times until all skins are gone and water is clear. (Alternatively, use pre-peeled beans).
Step 2
Blend the peeled peas with red bell peppers, scotch bonnet, and onion, gradually adding 2 cups of water until a very smooth, slightly thick batter is formed.
Step 3
Pour the batter into a large bowl. Stir in red palm oil, salt, and bouillon powder. Whisk vigorously for 5-10 minutes until the batter is light and airy. Add a little more water (up to 1/2 cup) if too thick.
Step 4
Fold in the flaked smoked fish and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
Step 5
Prepare steaming vessels: traditional moin moin leaves, ramekins, or small aluminum foil containers. Ladle the batter into the prepared containers.
Step 6
Arrange containers in a large pot with an inch of water at the bottom (ensure water doesn't touch the containers). Cover the pot tightly and steam over medium heat for 60-75 minutes, or until firm.
Step 7
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Moin Moin is often served with Jollof rice, Ewa Agoyin, or garri.
