Moi-Moi Recipe With Corned Beef



Moi-Moi is just one of those meals i am most likely to avoid cooking because of the process involved, especially when using fresh beans and i get to clean and remove the peal (chaff) by hand before making moi-moi.

Getting a pack of ground bean flour is much more easier, and have a method of preparation which eventually turns out to be the best.
In this episode we will be treating the moi-moi recipe using ground bean flour, while moi-moi recipe with fresh beans will be coming up later. Cheers!

Servings; 2-3

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of ground bean flour (1 cup = 250ml)
  • 2 large fresh tomatoes
  • 1 large bulb of onion
  • 1 tin of corned beef
  • 1 tsp. of salt
  • 1/2 tsp. of pepper
  • 2 stock cubes (maggi)
  • 1/2 cup of ground crayfish (optional)
  • 500ml of vegetable oil (or as desired)
  • cooking spray
  • foil paper

Procedure:

  • Mix the beans flour with warm water and stir into a thick paste and set aside for 30mins leaving it uncovered 
  • Blend tomatoes and onions, preferably very smooth for some added texture
  • Pour the blend into the beans paste and stir in more water till you have a flowing consistency you prefer (but not too watery).
  • Add the salt, pepper, crayfish and stock cubes and stir
  • Remove your corned beef from the tin and cut into small pieces
  • Cut your foil paper into how many pieces you'll need and fold the three edges tight, at least two times over
  • Spray the inside of each foil, pour in 2 ladles of the beans mixture or how you prefer, add some pieces of corned beef and fold the foil properly to close
  • Add a little amount of water (about 300ml) to pot and bring to boil
  • Layer them one after the other in the pot till finished
  • Cover pot and allow to steam for 30-45 minutes, checking it consistently to make sure there's still enough water in the pot and topping up where necessary to avoid burning it
  • Remove from foil and serve

    1. Same here. Red bell peppers and scotch bonnet or habanero pepper blended with onions is what mama uses. Thanks for the recipe though.
