🇳🇬 Nigeria recipe
Moi Moi
Moi Moi is a steamed bean pudding that showcases the ingenuity of Nigerian cooking, transforming humble black-eyed peas into an elegant, silky-smooth delicacy. The beans are soaked, peeled, and blended into a smooth batter with fresh peppers and onions, then steamed until set into a firm but tender pudding. Enriched with boiled eggs, corned beef, or sardines, Moi Moi is a versatile dish served as a side with rice, as a standalone meal, or as a special occasion centerpiece.
