Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

There are numerous more methods to prepare plantains, including making porridge, chips, roasting them over charcoal, and boiling them to serve with egg sauce, tomato-based stew, or veggie sauce.

Ingredients

• Large, overripe, upeeled plantain
• Salt
• Vegetable oil
• Onion, chopped
• Tomatoes, diced
• Seasoning cube
• Ground crayfish
• Nigerian curry powder
• Green onion, sliced
• Ugwu or spinach leaves
• Dryfish

Procedure

Plantain

1. Cut the unripe plantains in half and wash them.
2. Put the plantains in a pot. Add just enough water to cover the peels, and season with salt. Turn the heat to low and cook for about 1 hour. Check occasionally with a fork to see if it has fully softened; when done, you will notice the peels turning brown and the interior becoming more yellow.
3. Drain the plantains.

Vegetable sauce

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, and cook until they are no longer sour.
2. Add seasoning cubes, ground crayfish, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the green onion, and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Add the spinach and dryfish.
5. Serve with boiled plantains.
