Aboboi Moin Moin (Steamed spiced Beans and Plantain)

In a previous post I shared my Bambara Beans and sweet ripened Plantain Akara (Beans & Plantain Fritters) recipe. I used half of the blended mixture for the fritters and the remaining half for a steamed version.

The blended and naturally flavoured batter was wrapped in Thaumatococcus Danielli (Green Leaves) and steamed. You can use either Plantain or Banana leaves instead.

In the absence of the above leaves you can use moulds  as shown in the traditional MoinMoin recipe below;
