Soak black-eyed peas in water for several hours or overnight.

Blend soaked black-eyed peas with onions, bell peppers, and scotch bonnet peppers until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in vegetable oil, seasoning cubes, and salt.

Fold in chopped leafy greens, eggs, smoked fish, shrimp, garlic, and ginger until well combined.

Prepare a steamer or pot with water and bring to a simmer.

Spoon the mixture into banana leaves or small containers, leaving some space for expansion.

Place the filled leaves or containers in the steamer, cover, and steam for 45-60 minutes until firm.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
