Writer and amateur photog. I seek to inspire and inform with the words I write and share and the photos I take. I have written a book of short stories: Terra Cotta Beauty, and I am working on a lot more. Reading and writing fuel my energy. In reading, I explore this vast and diverse world, in writing, I employ my over-active imagination and address the 'what-if' questions that life often throws at us.

Baked Moin-Moin.

By Jola Naibi on June 18, 2016

Living abroad but still craving Nigerian food, over the years, I have made do as best as I can. Moin-Moin is an all-time favorite. When I lived in Lagos, it was our Saturday breakfast food: ogi and moin-moin, oh that evokes some splendid memories. Moin-Moin is traditionally made in banana leaves – a bit hard to find when you are out of the country. I recently stumbled on a recipe where you can bake moin-moin in muffin pans and it turned out deliciously yummy.
