HOW I PREPARED MY NUTRITIOUS MEAL: MOIMOI

Hello Hive-ians

Moi moi as it is locally called is one of the most widely eaten food in West Africa mainly due to the fact that when it's prepared very well it can be a finger licking experience and also the fact it is very nutritious and very rich in protein.

So I prepared my moi moi garnished with ingredients like cray fish, beans, onion, red chilly pepper, seasoning, salt, egg.

I started by soaking beans in the water to soften it to some extent, five minutes is enough for that so it won't be too soft. This is done so as to be able to remove it's back cover which in itself is also proteinous but might change the colour of your moi moi to an undesirable one.
Once soaked the back cover becomes easy to get rid of.

Once this is done, I proceeded by adding onions, pepper to it and it is grinded to a smooth form with water added for better mixture and cooking

Once the beans is grinded next we add other ingredients such as cray fish, seasoning, salt, groundnut oil or palm oil as the case my be and obviously due to preference. Once this is done, it is mixed and ready for cooking.

Cooking can be done in atleast three different ways also depending on preference. First it can be done by the use of very fine leaf where the beans mixture is put in leaves and then into the pot for cooking or fine nylons can be used as well and the third option is the use of very small tin cans. Here in Nigeria this three ways is parculiar to different parts of the country and tribe.

Then the next and final stage is the cooking stage. A calculated time of 25-30 minutes is just about enough for this. For this a timer is probably needed and once it's time our delicious and nutritious meal should be ready.

And then we ready to eat our very proteinous and delicious moi moi. It takes not more than one hour to prepare and doesn't need much magic😁.
