Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried cowpeas (black-eyed peas)
  • 1 tablespoon dried shrimp powder
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • chile pepper, chopped, to taste
  • cayenne pepper or red pepper, to taste
  • oil to grease muffin tin

Directions

1

Cover the cowpeas with boiling water and soak them for at least an hour or overnight. Drain them in a colander.

2

Crush, grind, or mash the black-eyed peas into a thick paste. Slowly add enough water to form a smooth, thick paste.

3

In a separate container combine all other ingredients and crush and stir them together until they are thoroughly mixed.

4

Add the other ingredients to the black-eyed pea paste and stir to make a smooth mixture.

5

Grease the muffin pans.

6

Scoop the Moyin-Moyin mixture into your pans, allowing some room for it to rise while cooking. #Place the pans in a baking dish partially filled with water.

7

Bake in a medium-hot oven for about 30 minutes.

8

Check for doneness with a toothpick or sharp knife, as you would for a cake.
