MOIMOI DELIGHT

MOIMOI AND PLANTAIN WITH PRAWNS ON A BED OF CRISPY FLORETTE SALAD.


It gives me joy to create something different from the regular. Moimoi(beans cake) is a Nigerian delicacy that can be enjoyed alone or normaly served with jollof/fried rice but I try to be creative in the kitchen, making meals more appetizing that the anyone would want to try it.

Ingredients
2 cups peeled beans (I used brown sweet beans)
1 large onions
2 large paprika pepper (long red pepper) + 1 bell pepper
Thumb sized ginger(minced)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup sunflower oil or oil of choice
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 of 1 canned corn beef (sauteed in 2 tbsps of sunflower oil or oil of choice just to give it a nice crisp)
2 scotch bonnet
2 seasoning cubes (I use knorr)
Salt to taste (adjust accordingly as corn beef has a salty taste)

Instructions

1. Place a pan on the stove and sautee corn beef till crisp and separated, set aside to cool. Share the peeled beans, peppers, scotch bonnet, onions, garlic, ginger into two portions and blend with water.

2. Set the oven on Gas mark 6 or place a big pot on the stove with water about 5 cups and boil. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, add oil, corn beef and seasoning cubes and mix with a spatula, taste before adding salt.

3. Pour the moimoi batter into mini ramekins/foil plates (for oven bake, place in a deep oven tray with hot water and bake for 20-30 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean. To cook on the stove, place the foil plates into the pot and cover to cook for 20-30 mins making sure to check the water level in the pot, the water should not be above the foil plate and make sure it doesn't dry out either)

For Prawns

I used 50g of prawns, sauteed in oil and added 2 tbsps of chilli sauce.
1/2 of 1 packet of shop bought Crispy Florette salad.
Fried plantain on a skewer.
Plate and serve hot. Can serve as a weekend meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy!

Banana Orange Cake.

This cake was made with love a product of 2020 lockdown. It's being a crazy year so far but I decided I'll stay positive, strong and productive as we wait to see what will come out of year 2020. I'm so happy to share this delicious orange flavour banana cake here. Let me know if you try this recipe, I'm sure you'll love it just like my family and I did x • In making this recipe you have to make sure everything you need is set and ready to go. • Minimal mixing is required to get a good result. • Try NOT to hip the flour in the measuring cup, scooping in the flour into the cup with a spoon and level out the top. • You can use any other oil you prefer but not flavoured oil as this will take away from the take and flavour of the cake after baking. RECIPE. 2+1/2 cups self raising flour.  1/4 cup cornflour.  1 tsp baking powder.  1 tsp baking soda.  1/4 tsp salt. 1 cup caster sugar.  4 very ripe bananas. 3 eggs. 1/2 cup melted butter + 1/2 cup sunflower oil 1 tsp vani...

FESTIVE INSPIRED SERIES 3

Here is one of the most sought after Nigerian delicacy loved by all. It is one of my favourite local delicacies which I almost gave up trying to prepare because its difficult to find natural unrefined Red oil in the UK which gives the dish its peculiar taste...so rich and delicious. This is Abacha made from Cassava served with oven grilled suya spiced(used Foodace suya spice) Sea bass, red onions, cucumber, lettuce and a bottle of cold Malt drink. This delicacy is a winner this Christmas, look out for it anytime you visit Nigeria and thank me later. Abacha ncha Grilled suya spiced Sea bass served with fried Plantain and a bowl of fresh Salad. Made this for my husband on his birthday and he loved it.
