OVEN BAKED BEAN PUDDING

Hi guys!!!!
So, today's post was inspired by my overly intuitive mind; I guess my knack for all things polish and perfect lol. This meal is basically moi-moi that travelled abroad lmao. It is a steamed bean pudding which is a mixture of protein rich ingredients. It is a common staple in Nigeria! 
Without further ado, let's get right into the prep. Firstly, we've to get our ingredients laid out as per usual so as to have a mental breakdown of what we're working with; that way, we do not forget anything and we can also see if we miss anything.

                     INGREDIENTS 

1. Beans
2. Vegetable oil
3. Palm oil (optional)
4. Scotch bonnet
5. Bell pepper
6. Onions
7. Seasoning (incl. of salt)
8. Eggs (boiled; optional)
9. Shrimps (raw)
10. Garlic & ginger ( i made use of the grounded one)

             

                     PREPARATIONS 

• Measure desired amount of beans into a wide bowl (wide enough as we'll use it to peel and wash the beans)

• Get your scotch bonnets, bell peppers and onions out too. 

• Press on one or two to be sure it is ready to be peeled. Then peel accordingly and rinse thoroughly until the skin is off the body. You could peel in batches to make it easier.
• I added shrimps and boiled eggs into mine. Should in case you want more, you could also customize yours to your taste. ( maybe use shredded turkey, chicken et al)

• Get your oil ready to pour in ( I mixed a bit of palm oil and vegetable oil)

• Pour in your oil and other spices ( maggi and salt like i used. Just in case you want to add other spices, make sure it does not overpower the beans in itself)

• Mix together and set aside.
• Get your pan out alongside your cooking spray

• Spray your pan all round; this is to prevent the pudding from sticking.
• Preheat the oven at 160 degrees F (depending on if the oven is fan assisted) or 180 if not.

• Pour in your beans batter and gently put in your cut out eggs, and the shrimps.

• Carefully place the pan in the oven and turn up the heat to 250 degrees F. 
• Set the timer to 35 mins and control accordingly.

And voila! The oven baked bean pudding ( a.k.a moi moi) is ready! 

P. S- I had mine with a side of jollof rice but i was too hungry to show the sliced out portion.
