How To Make Unripe Plantain Porridge by toria12(f): 7:07am On Sep 13, 2012 |
How to Make Unripe Plantain Porridge Ingredients Unripe Plantain: 3 pieces Pumpkin Leaves: a big bunch (or Frozen Spinach: 10 cubes) Fish (Titus): 1 medium size Ground Crayfish: 1-2 teaspoons Onions: 2 medium sized bulbs Red palm Oil: enough to colour the meal Pepper and Salt: to taste Seasoning: 2 big stock cubes Before you cook Unripe Plantain Porridge Wash, peel and cut up the plantain as shown. Wash and cut the pumpkin leaves into small pieces. If you will be using frozen spinach , allow to thaw just enough to let you cut them into tiny pieces. Leave to thaw completely and squeeze out the extra water using a sieve. Wash, cut and remove the fish intestines. Cut up the onions into tiny pieces. Grind the crayfish and pepper. Now you are ready to cook the unripe plantain porridge. Cooking Directions Put the cut plantain in a pot. Add the chopped onions, stock cubes, fish, ground crayfish and pepper. Add water to the same level as the contents of the pot. Cook till the contents start to boil. Add the red palm oil and salt to taste. Cover the pot and keep cooking till done. This is when the plantain is tender to touch. Add the vegetables, cover the pot and leave to simmer. Once it has heated up, stir, turn off the heat and leave to stand for at least five minutes before serving. Serve with chilled soft drink or fruit juice. 5 Likes |

Frozen vegetable ?? I've never heard of it before. If you want to enjoy plantain pottage well, cook with dry fish. Some people don't add vegetables, but I add because of nutritional value. You may also add snail to it. Ps I'm salivating. 1 Like |

I love this dish and along with beans are two meals i can beat my chest about. Not to take anything away from OP, but i dont think justice was done to the meal. Firstly, those onions and the first batch of ingredients should come in as soon as the plantain softens a bit, starting the onions with the plantain limits the desirable taste of the onion to the soup and not the plantain itself. The crayfish comes in last just before the palm oil. Try n see the difference Secondly, the water level doesnt have to be so full, just enough to cover the contents would be fine. Finally, the key to the porridge is stirring when its ready. Just grab a spatula and stir till the soup becomes a fine thick paste - this is why i'd rather have some good dry fish in it than a fresh one, those reddish dried shrimps also go beautifully. I'll also do without the vegetables, i just see them as getting in the way of my good meal of iron - but thats just me. 5 Likes |

I always thought unripe plantain was all iron until i had a lecture on minerals and vitamin in my 5th yr in school when my professor explained that plaintain actually contained mostly carbohydrates and not mineral iron as widely believed. Thanks for sharing OP, will give it a try soon! 1 Like |
