Moi moi

Moinmoin or Moyi-Moyi is a Nigerian steamed bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled black-eyed peasonions and fresh ground peppers (usually a combination of bell peppers and chili or scotch bonnet). It is a protein-rich food that is a staple in Nigeria. Some adaptations also put apples in MoinMoin. It originated from either Eastern Nigerian or South-West Nigeria.

Moin moin is prepared by first soaking the beans in cold water until they are soft enough to remove the fine outer covering or peel. Then they are ground or blended (using a blender) until a fine paste is achieved. Salt,bouillon cube, dried crayfishvegetable oil (or any edible oil such as palm oil) and other seasonings are added to taste. Some add sardinescorned beef, sliced boiled eggs, or a combination of these and other ‘garnishes’ to liven up moin moin. Such is referred to as having ‘x’ number of lives, ‘x’ representing the number of garnishes added. The most touted is “moin moin elemi meje”, which translates to moin moin with 7 lives.

Moin moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape or a cylindrical shape, owing to the mold it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad “ewe eran” (Thaumatococcus daniellii) orbanana leaves fashioned into a cone in one’s palm, then the seasoned and garnished liquid is poured into the leaves, which is then folded.

The cylindrical shapes come from empty cans of tomato sauce used in preparation of other dishes. Once placed in its mold, it is placed in a large pot about a tenth filled with water. The water is the source of steam that cooks the moin moin. Moin moin is eaten alone or with bread as a snack, with rice as a meal or with ogi (corn or millet porridge) for breakfast or supper. it can also be taken with garri in the afternoon.

Egusi Soup

Egusi Soup

Egusi seeds are the fat– and protein-rich seeds of certain cucurbitaceous (squash, melon, gourd) plants. Authorities disagree whether the word is used more properly for the seeds of the colocynth, those of a particular large-seeded variety of the watermelon, or generically for those of any cucurbitaceous plant. The characteristics and uses of all these seeds are broadly similar.

Egusi soup is a kind of soup thickened with the ground seeds and popular in West Africa, with considerable local variation. Besides the seeds, water, and oil, egusi soup typically contains leaf vegetables, other vegetables,seasonings, and meat. Typical leaf vegetables for egusi soup include bitterleafcelosia and spinach. Typical other vegetables include tomatoes and okra. Typical seasonings include chili peppersonions, and iru (fermented beans). Typical meats include beefgoatfishshrimp, or crayfish.

In Nigeria, Egusi is very popular among the Igbo ethnic group of Southeastern Nigeria, the Ibibio people and the Efik people (Calabar people) of Southern Nigeria, and the Yoruba people of the Southwest of Nigeria. Other ethnic groups in Nigeria including the Hausa of Northern Nigeria also use egusi in their local cuisine.

Yoruba people in general and quite notably the people of Ọṣun State, especially the Ijeshas love eating Iyan & Egusi (Pounded Yam & Egusi Soup).
