Soak the black-eyed peas in plenty of water for 8 hours.
Rub the peas between your palms to remove the skins, changing the water several times, then drain.
Coarsely puree the peeled peas with the onion, hot pepper, vegetable stock, and salt.
Warm the palm oil, add it to the puree, and mix in the finely chopped spinach.
Place portions of the mixture on parchment paper and wrap tightly from the outside with foil.
Steam the packets for 55-60 minutes, until firm.
Rest the koki beans packets for 10 minutes, then open and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Remove the black-eyed pea skins patiently; a puree with skins stays coarse after steaming and the packets will not cut cleanly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve koki beans hot as a legume main dish with optional boiled plantain or plain rice.
