Gambian Oleleh: The Black-Eyed Pea Bean Cake With Broiled Mackerel and Eggplant You've Never Seen Before

Dada's FoodCrave Kitchen walks through making Oleleh, the Gambian version of Moi Moi, a steamed black-eyed pea cake packed with eggplant, bell peppers, habanero, and broiled canned mackerel. The video covers a quick blender trick for peeling beans fast and explains why steaming beats baking for a moist result. A great watch for anyone curious about West African cooking beyond the Nigerian staple.
