It's been a while here so I decided to make a delicious welcome back to steemit which is why I will be teaching you how make one of my best local food moin-moin(bean cake)
Moin-moin is made from beans. It is a very popular food eaten by many people in my place. it is my food for breakfast.
Before getting moin-moin ready for eating, one has to undergo many steps.
Two or three cups of beans are measured out depending on the quantity you want to prepare.
Unwanted items are removed from the beans.
The beans is soaked inside water for about twenty minutes.
Washing takes place and in the process, the skin of the beans is removed.
At the end of the washing, the whole beans become white, ready for grinding.
Pepper (preferably fresh pepper), onions and crayfish are added and sometimes you might add beef to it if you like.
The beans is now ready for grinding on a grinding machine or òlótá(a local grinding stone).
More ingredients and spices such as curry, salt, egg (already boiled egg so as not to mix with the grinded beans), oil, are added.
The paste is thoroughly mixed and measured into; small stainless tin or nylon bags or into special green leaves and put into a pot to boil. It is completely covered for the pot to get enough heat.
After boiling for about twenty-five to thirty minutes the pot is brought down to allow its contents to cool. It is now ready to be eaten.
Moin-moin can be served alone or with; Pap, rice, bread, cassava-flakes
I like moin-moin because of it's nice aroma and delicious taste. Besides, it is a protein giving food.
