Hello chef!

This week, I have something delicious and enticing for you all. It's called Bean cake (Moi-Moi). Do you or have ever heard of this dish? Have you tasted it? I think it's ideal for the week, just try it out and see the result.

Bean cake is made from beans and I guess we all know what beans is and what it looks like. So I will take you all on a tour round my kitchen. Let's go...

Ingredients for bean cake (Moi-Moi)

🔺Beans
🔺Crayfish
🔺Spices
🔺Fish
🔺 Tomatoes
🔺Onions
🔺 Vegetable Oil
🔺Water
🔺Pepper

Cooking procedures

🔺Soak the beans in water over night to soften a little. Wash your beans thoroughly by making sure the peels are off completely. Rinse the beans with a clean water after washing.

🔺Add the beans little by little into the blender for grinding. Make sure it is properly grinded and pour it into a bowl for mixture.

🔺Now with a clean pan, add vegetable oil, onions and tomatoes and fry a little. Pour it into the grinded beans.

🔺Blend pepper and onions, pour into the bowl of beans.

🔺Mix everything properly, and gently add warm water little by little, but make sure you don't add too much water. Taste to be sure all ingredients are properly added.

🔺Blend the Crayfish and pour into the bowl.

🔺Do not forget to add your fish. Wash the fish properly with warm water and salt, cut into tiny pieces and pour into the bowl of beans.

🔺So I used a nylon to tie my Moi-Moi. This is the last process where you either use a nylon, leaf rap or plate to scope in the the quantity that suits you.

🔺Lastly, place them in a pot. Add boiled water and place it on the fire to boil. Check in few minutes to add more water.

🔺It takes time to done, so don't worry. Just keep adding water to make sure it doesn't burn. Our Moi-Moi is ready at last!

Hmm, I know you must be salivating by now. This meal is amazing for you and your family. Do you also know that this meal contains lots of protein in it? I bet you don't. I love Moi-Moi and it can also be eaten with rice, pap, drink, or what have you...
