I have been up since the crack of dawn and terribly sleepy. As I try to will my brain to focus on what I need to do tomorrow, it shows me pictures of moin moin and reminds my taste buds of how delicious it was the last time I had it.
To get this brain of mine to focus on the tasks for tomorrow, I get up and soak a cup of peeled dried black eyes beans in cold water. I just hope that tomorrow, this cravings still exist!
After 10 hours (over night soaking) this was the outcome:
Ingredients
1-½ cups of peeled black-eyed beans (soaked overnight)
3 hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
2 medium size pieces of mackerel (shredded)
2 red peppers
1 bulb of onions
3 tablespoons of corned beef
3 fresh chilies, scotch bonnet preferably (depends on how hot you want it)
3 Knorr cubes (start with two and taste to see if you need more)
Directions
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Blend the beans, red peppers, onions, fresh chilies and 2 Knorr cubes in a blender until you get a smooth texture. You may need to add some water to the mixture for ease of blending. Make sure you don’t add too much as you don’t want a watery texture.
Pour the bean mixture in a large bowl; add the chopped eggs, shredded fish. Using your fingers, break the corn beef into tiny pieces into the bowl containing the beans mixture. Taste the mixture (you don’t have to swallow!) to see if you need to add the third Knorr cube.
Pour the mixture into foil bowls (as seen in the picture below), cover them with their appropriate lids and place them in a large ovenproof tray or bowl. A large turkey foil tray can also be used. Pour cold water to fill half of the large oven and place it in the middle of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. After 15 minutes check to see if it’s cooked with a fork inserted in the middle of the bean cake. If it hasn’t cooked through, cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.

I made moin moin yesterday. I did not boil the egg I used. Instead I put a little of the moin moin barter in the baking tin, like half way then cracked an egg on top then added the rest of the barter. And the raw egg cooked with the moin moin. The reason why i decided to stop using boiled eggs in my moin moin recipe is because I found that the boiled eggs tasted too much like rubber afterwards. I think this is because boiled eggs in moin moin batter will result in overcooked eggs. Just my two cents. Thanks a lot for your recipes. I'm enjoying your blog a lot!

Thats a great idea Eddy. I will def try that next time… I may whisk it first and then using a tea spoon place drops of the whisked egg in between the bean cake. This way you don't just have a whole egg in the middle. I feel you on the rubbery egg. Thanks again for your suggestion.
