Elevate your breakfast game with this sophisticated take on a Nigerian classic. Creamy fermented Ogi meets steamed bean pudding in a protein-rich bowl that combines traditional flavors with modern presentation.
In a bowl, mix the Poshy Ogi flour with 1/2 cup cold water until smooth. Boil 1.5 cups of water. While stirring the slurry, slowly pour in the boiling water. Stir continuously until it thickens into a silky porridge. Cover and let steam for 3 minutes.
Tip: Prepare the Ogi first so it can steam while you work on the Moi Moi.
Blend peeled beans (or flour), onion, bell pepper, and scotch bonnet with a little water until smooth. Add oil, seasoning cube, and salt. Mix well.
Tip: Blend until completely smooth for best texture.
Stir in cooked minced meat and diced smoked ham.
Tip: Use pre-cooked meat to save time and ensure even cooking.
Pour the mixture into small bowls. Add slices of boiled egg on top.
Tip: The egg adds visual appeal and protein to each portion.
Steam for 35 to 45 minutes until firm and cooked through.
Tip: Check doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean.
Scoop Moi Moi onto a plate beside a hot bowl of Poshy Ogi. Garnish with extra egg or herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy a hearty, nutritious African brunch!
Tip: Serve immediately while both components are warm.
