Here is what you may need

This recipe uses healthy, wholesome ingredients to make 6 cups. You can always adjust certain ingredients to make it to your liking.

  • 3 cups of PEELED Black-eyed peas or Honey beans. This is the main ingredient for Moin-Moin.

  • 1 Red bell pepper - Adds rich nutrients, flavor, and color.

  • 1 Tablespoon hot pepper - Adds spiciness as you prefer.

  • 1 to 2 Large Onions - Brings out robust rich flavor and taste.

  • ½ Cup of crayfish - Grounded crayfish for extra protein and taste.

  • ½ Cup of Vegetable Oil/Canola oil - Use the oil of your choice.

  • 1 Teaspoon of Salt - Moderately for flavor and taste.

  • 1 Tablespoon of Garlic powder - for extra flavor and great taste.

  • 1 to 1 ½ Cup of chicken or vegetable broth for blending.

  • 1 cup of cooked chicken meat (optional).

  • Optional Protein: Boiled egg, cooked shrimp, corned beef or dried/smoked fish.

Prepare your Moin Moin Beans

For faster preparation, you can buy pre-peeled black eyed beans from many ethnic and African food stores. Alternatively, you can use the method below:

  • Soak the beans in water for about 5 to 10 minutes. DO NOT over soak to avoid the beans from getting soft and will not split easily.

  • Use the “Dice, Chop or Pulse” button of your kitchen blender to split up the beans with the water. Push and hold the button in pulses or for up to a minute several times to split the beans and loosen the skin but not to actually blend the beans.

  • Pour the beans into a kitchen bowl, adding water to more than cover the beans, allowing the bean skins to float easily.

  • With your palm, massage the beans around till the skin floats. Pull and pour out the skin.

  • Repeat step #4 as needed until all the skins are removed.

Prepare the Bean Pudding

  • Combine and blend at high speed the peeled beans, red bell pepper, hot pepper, onions, salt and crayfish, chicken meat, and garlic in a blender. Add some of the broth and blend.

  • Add more broth as needed until the pudding is smooth but not too runny. Excess broth or water can lead to soft, mushy Moin-Moin instead of the traditionally moist and firm Moin-Moin.

  • Pour the pudding into a separate bowl and add the oil and optional protein.

  • Stir until well mixed. You are now ready to add your pudding into the Moin-Moin Pro Kit cups!
