Cornmeal Moin Moin In The Microwave

I got this idea on how to make corn moin moin from Wives Connection Townhall blog. It is a good lifestyle blog that has great recipes too. Me  however I love to cook and I like looking for more recipes. Corn is very expensive and I am not going to spend a lot of money on corn just so I can make moin moin. I live in the area in the midwestern part of the United States and it is a shame corn prices are so high here.

Corn is great stuff it is king here and I agree with Nigerian Lazy Chef  when she says  corn is bae lol.

My  mind is great with languages I swear but now we have to get down to what matters most here is making this yummy moin moin.

I soaked 6 handfuls of cornmeal with water the night  before. Just make sure the water line is slightly higher then the cornmeal.  The next day I got up and boiled quail eggs and two pieces each of salt fish and dried smoked fish because I forgot to soak them again to get the salt out of it.  Oh well this works too.  I boiled the dried fish and saltfish for 15 minutes and the  quail eggs for 10 minutes.  I drained the  quail eggs cracked peeled and sliced   and put them in the ramekins I have two of them and the rest I used in the glass dish here.  I chopped 2 green onions and put them in there also with the eggs. Also I added tiny pieces of red bell pepper I had  cut up which the lion’s share went in to the moin moin batter. I put that in the blender along with the cornmeal I had soaked in water and blended it in to a nice paste. I also added 3 green onions I had chopped for the batter, added 1 bullion cube, 3 dashes of knorr or maggi aroma, 1 pinch each of crayfish, red chili powder,  grated nutmeg,  and paprika and 1 tsp of tomato paste.

I took 4 tiny pieces of the  red bell pepper and put it in there with the eggs in the dish and I also drained and rinsed I was boiling  and tore them to pieces  and divided them in to each ramekin and big glass bowl and set it aside.

The rest of my bell peppers I had put in the blender and blended it in the moin moin batter.  I  added 1 tsp of palm oil to the ramekins and the big glass bowl  and added the moin moin batter first to ramekins and then big glass bowl last.

I put cling film over the ramekins and one at a time I cooked those for 3 minutes each and the big glass bowl came with its own lid was  5 to 6 minutes.

I have to say I really enjoyed it  and am looking forward to wanting to do more moin moin recipes  so stay tuned.
