Ingredients
Equipments needed for preparation:BlenderPlastic BowlPlastic ColanderMeasuring CupWooden SpoonCooking SpoonCooking FoilBaking DishIngredients: Cowpeas (blackeyes), 1 cupOnions, raw, 1 medium Red bell pepper, 1 medium Jalapeno Peppers, 1 pepper Hard Boiled Egg, 3 largeWhiting (fish), 6 oz ( or preferred fish)Canola Oil, 3 tbsp Croutons, seasoned, 1.5 cubes (or preferred seasoning)Salt to tasteNote: You can use any meat you like; tuna. sardine,turkey, beaf, or chicken inplace of whiting fish.
1. Boil the eggs (it takes 15 mins to hard boil eggs) and cook the fish. The fish should take like 10 - 15 mins to boil. I usually boil with chopped onions and salt. Set aside to cool.
2. Soak the beans in cold water for about 5 mins.
3. Put half of the soaked beans in the blender cup, cover with water. If your blender has a pulse button blend the beans on pulse 5-10 times for like 10 secs each pulse. If not you are a sharp person, figure it out.
4. Empty contents of blender cup into plastic bowl, use more water if needed to get everything in the cup into the plastic bowl.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other half of the soaked beans.
6. Place your colander in clean sink, fill bowl with beans mixture with water. Pour water through colander. Notice that the skin of the beans ends up in the colander while your 'naked' beans are in the bottom of the bowl in your hand. Repeat till all the skin is in the colander.
7. Notice also that there are some 'clothed' beans in the bowl. Pick them out, you can manually remove the skin by rubbing the seed between you fingers.
Note: In short dehuilled the cowpeas or buy dehuilled cowpeas this will save you from step 2-7
Make sure your dehuilled beana is not too hard, so it'll blend well. In that case you can soak it in water or hot water for some minutes.
8. Add the following ingredient to your dehuilled cowpeas hot pepper(Jalapeno), bell pepper and onion. Grind the beans with just enough water to avoid blowing the motor on your grinder. The thicker you grind the beans, the more likely you are to get a nice smooth paste. Set aside the beans paste in the fridge.
9. Chop eggs up into quarters, debone the fish. Turn on the oven(350 degrees).
10. Melt your seasoning cubes in a bowl by adding a bit of the boiling water. Mix throughly with a spoon. Add the mixture to the beans paste (which you have of course retrieved from the fridge). Add the oil and mix throughly. Add salt to taste. Your mixture should not be too thick nor to watery. I usually don't need to add water to my mixture apart from what I added during the grinding process. If you think your mixture is too thick you can add water or fish stock (from the whiting fish you boiled earlier)
12. Cover the baking pan with cooking foil and place in the preheated oven.
Moin-Moin is ready when mixture is set and firm to the touch.
11. Pour mixture into baking dish. With your fingers crumble the fish onto the mixture, covering the total surface evenly. Use your spoon to fold in the fish. Place the egg quarters in the beans mixture as well.
13. Remove moin-moin from the oven and leave to 'breath' for like 30 mins.
Serve with rice or your preferred food and enjoy.
