EASY WAY TO PEEL YOUR BEANS FOR YOUR OTHER MEALS

A lot of us love cooking beans, but then some prefer using it for other meals like your bean ball and Moi- Moi.

Peeling beans could be a bit stressful though especially in large quantities.

Here is a way of making it easy for you aside the traditional method of soaking for an hour or overnight and then washing the beans by peeling off the coat as you rub it in between your Palms.

• Place the beans in a large bowl and pour enough water to cover the beans. Leave to soak in the water for only 5 minutes.

The soaking helps to soften the bean coat without softening the beans.

• After 5minutes place some of the beans into the blender, pour enough water to make beans move more freely in the blender.

If your blender has a "pulse" button, pulse the beans intermittently for 5minutes (pressing down on the button for about 10 secs), stop and repeat at intervals for 5minutes to avoid blending the beans.

You can observe the coat as it peels off through the blender jar.

After 5minutes,pour the content into a bowl with the peeled beans, you would observe the coat floating on the surface, strain the coat with the sieve and leave the white (peeled beans) in the bowl.

You might see one or two that are not peeled, just remove them and your beans is ready for your Moi-Moi or Akara.
