Method
Soak the black-eyed peas or brown beans in water for 15 to 20 minutes to loosen the skins, then rub between your palms to remove the skins. Rinse well and drain.
Blend the peeled peas with the red bell pepper, onion, chili pepper, and 1 cup of water until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the palm oil, ground crayfish, seasoning cube, and salt until well combined.
Divide the mixture into foil wraps, banana leaf pouches, or greased ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place a whole boiled egg into the centre of each portion.
Arrange the wrapped portions or ramekins in a steamer or a pot with a small amount of water at the bottom (water should not touch the mixture).
Cover and steam for 45 to 50 minutes, until firm and set. Check by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.
Let cool slightly before unwrapping and serving warm.
Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
Black-eyed peas and brown beans are a good source of plant protein, fibre, iron, and folate, which can contribute to steady energy and support increased iron needs during menstruation. Red bell pepper adds vitamin C, which can help support the absorption of iron from the beans. Pairing this with a boiled egg adds extra protein and choline, making for a filling breakfast that fits well into a balanced, lower glycaemic eating pattern.
