Moin-moin, also called moi-moi or olele, is a steamed or boiled bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled beans and onions, fresh red peppers, spices, and often fish, eggs, chicken or crayfish. It is a protein-rich Yoruba food commonly eaten across Yorubaland and neighboring regions of West Africa, and it is also eaten among Yoruba-descent Brazilians, who call it abara.
