Ingredients

  • 300 g Black Eyed Peas
  • 1 pcs Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 pcs Scotch Bonnet
  • 1 pcs Onion
  • 3.6666666666666665 tbsp Palm Oil
  • 1 tbsp Crayfish
  • 1 pcs Stock Cube
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1.75 l Water

Method

  1. Rinse {black_eyed_peas}, cover with {water} in a large bowl, and soak until the skins loosen and the beans hydrate evenly.
  2. Rub the soaked {black_eyed_peas} to remove most skins, then blend with {red_bell_pepper}, {scotch_bonnet}, {onion}, some {water}, {crayfish}, {stock_cube}, {salt}, and {palm_oil} until very smooth and airy so the pudding sets silky rather than grainy.
  3. Pour the batter into a lightly oiled heatproof bowl, set it over simmering water in a covered pot over medium-low heat, and steam until puffed, fragrant, and firm in the center when gently pressed.
  4. Lift out the steamed pudding, rest briefly so it unmolds cleanly, then serve warm with a light sheen of {palm_oil} for a glossy finish.
