Moimoi Inspired – Savory Baked Chickpeas Pudding

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • ½ medium onion
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper
  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • 3 large eggs 2 boiled, 1 raw
  • Handful chopped parsley optional
  • 3 tablespoons palm oil melted
  • 2 cubes maggi
  • Salt – to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ground crayfish optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by soaking the peas in generous amount of water. You can choose to soak the beans overnight in cold water or soak in hot water for 15 minutes (covered).
  • Preheat your oven to 350F.
  • Grease a wide baking pan. Set aside.
  • Finely chop the boiled eggs. Set side.
  • I also made use of some chopped red pepper for some color. This is not required.
  • Combine soaked peas in a blender with bell pepper, onion, scotch bonnet pepper and 1 cup of water. Blend to a very smooth paste.
  • Pour blended peas into a large bowl; add oil, salt, maggi, crayfish and crack in raw egg. Using an electric whisk or rolling pin, mix the ingredients together for 5 - 6 minutes incorporating as much air as possible.
  • Pour whisked mixture into greased baking pan. Top with chopped eggs and parsley (if using).
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until set in the middle (do a quick check by inserting a table knife, there shouldn’t be anything dripping from the knife).
