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.
