Moin moin
- Media: Moin-Moin or Moi-Moi
Moin-moin or moi-moi (Yoruba) is a steamed or boiled bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled beans and onions, fresh red peppers, spices, and often fish, eggs,chicken and/or crayfish.[3][4] It is a protein-rich Yoruba food[5][6] that is commonly eaten across Yorubaland and close regions in West Africa.
Preparation
Moi-moi is made of soaked beans ground into a fine paste which is mixed with dried crayfish, vegetable oil, and seasonings. Some add sardines, corned beef,shredded chicken, sliced boiled eggs, or other garnishes.[7]
Moin-moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape, cylindrical shape, cone shape or other shape[8] of the mold it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad Ewe Eran (Thaumatococcus daniellii),[9] or banana leaves[10] fashioned into a cone in one's palm. Then the seasoned and garnished paste is poured into the leaves, which are folded. The cylindrical shapes come from when empty cans or foil are used.[11]
Moin-moin is eaten alone as a snack or with rice as a meal or with ogi (pap), oatmeal, salad, koko or garri.[12]
