Instructions: Place the black-eyed peas in a medium bowl with water, and soak the peas overnight. Drain off the water. Place the peas, onion, egg, water, chili powder and salt into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until the ingredients form a smooth paste. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the pea mixture on a square of aluminum foil.

Tightly fold the foil around the mixture. Place the foil packets in a medium pot and cover them with water. Boil for 1 hour, until the moi-moi is firm. Serve hot or warm with spicy salsa.
