Instructions

Prepare the beans.
Soak the beans in water for several hours or overnight to relieve the tedious task of peeling.
You’ll know they’re ready when you can peel and break them easily with your fingers.
Cook the mackerel.
In a pot, season the sliced mackerel with stock cubes, mixed herbs, and salt.
Add water and let it boil for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, store the liquid stock and let the mackerel cool.
Make the batter.
Blend the beans with the sliced sweet and bell peppers, onion, and scotch bonnet.
Pour in the mackerel liquid stocks and a bit of water. Blend it on high speed until smooth.
Season the mixture with all-purpose seasoning, salt, stock cubes, curry powder, mixed herbs, and turmeric.
You may also add eggs for texture.
Blend it again before pouring the contents into a bowl.
Then, add melted coconut oil into the mixture until well incorporated.
Assemble the ingredients.
Pour the batter into greased ramekins.
Top them off with sliced hard-boiled eggs and mackerel chunks.
Pour hot water into the baking tray and cover the ramekins by tightly sealing them with a foil sheet.
Bake the moi moi.
Preheat the oven to 150°C.
Then, let the dish cook for 40 to 45 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing it with a stick. If the stick comes out clean, the moi moi is ready.
