Moi Moin- aka blended black eyed peas
Happy Sunday Foodies. Presentation is so important. Blame my mother for making me eat with my eyes. As a kid, if the food did not look pretty I was so not going to have a piece of it. Ha! who knew God would use that on me now! The moi-moi I made for breakfast yesterday. Moi Moi was a typical Saturday breakfast in my home as a kid. Some things just don’t change, they just evolve.
Moi-Moi- peeled and Blended black eyed beans. add red pepper, onion, tomatoes, spices, raw eggs and garnish with boiled egg and sardines or anything else you would like. Steam cook for 30-40 minutes. I use souffle bowls for my shape.
Cheers…

Maggi: Most Africans use it
Hahah today is looking good. Just got an e-mail from the Radio Station I did an interview with about Maggi and my use of it in food. it’s my Vice. Public Radio International’s The World http://news.feetintwoworlds.org/2012/02/16/food-in-2-worlds-the-adoration-of-the-maggi/ (http://www.theworld.org/). They featured my Yam Porridge and sound bites on me in the interview. I LOVE MAGGI. Blame it on being African lolol. We love some form of maggi. We drink water and put maggi in it. Yes it has MSG, but like with all things in life everything in moderation.
You have to check the packaging some of their products do have MSG Do Knorr products contain MSG? as awell as maggi some of them don’t have msg.
From the Knorr Site:
If MSG is present in a product either directly added or as a component of another ingredient, it will be listed on the label as MSG or monosodium glutamate. It is never hidden under any other ingredient listing. Knorr’s practice is to use MSG only when we believe it is necessary to formulate the best tasting product
Enjoy!
