Moin-Moin, Moi-Moi or Olele (Yoruba language: Mọ́yín-Mọyín, Ọ̀lẹ̀lẹ̀) is a Steaming or boiled bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled Black-eyed pea and Onion, fresh red peppers, spices, and often fish, eggs, chicken and/or crayfish. It is a protein-rich Yoruba people food that is commonly eaten across Yorubaland and close regions in West Africa.
Moin-moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape, cylindrical shape, cone shape or other shape of the mold it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad Ewe Eran ( Thaumatococcus daniellii), or banana leaf fashioned into a cone in one's palm. Then the seasoned and garnished paste is poured into the leaves, which are folded. The cylindrical shapes come from when empty cans or foil are used.
Moin-moin is eaten alone as a snack or with rice as a meal or with ogi (pap), oatmeal,Custard, salad, koko or garri.
