What To Do With Your Overripe Plantain by Tedassie(m): 6:26pm On Dec 10, 2016
Yes, yes, yes we all have that time when we mistakenly keep the plantain for too long till it becomes really soft and black. Throwing it away seems like an awful waste but not to worry because you could always prepare an African delicacy with it. You can make Plantain Moi Moi.

Before you scrunch up your face, hear me out. It might sound weird but it tastes amazing. What you need to prepare this dish (depending on how many you are cooking for) includes:
[b]Two pieces of unripe plantain
100 grams of plantain flour
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
2 cubes of seasoning
1 onion
Some crayfish
2 cooking spoons of palm oil
A pinch of ground ginger for flavour
Cool water
Uma leaves (the traditional wide leaves used for Moi Moi which give it a nice flavor) or small bowls
The steps for preparation are:
1. Cut your onions and pepper, likewise the washed plantain.
2. If you are going for the leaves ensure that you wash it thoroughly before using
3. Mix the plantain flour in a bowl with just enough water to make it a bit thick
4. Blend the overripe plantain with the pepper, onion, and plantain flour batter, adding just enough water to grind the mixture
5. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add your seasoning, ginger salt and palm oil
6. Put a small quantity of water on the fire to boil. Ideally, you should place a steamer in it but if you don’t have that, you can use the cover of a smaller pot as the base.
7. Using a ladle, pour some into the leaves or bowl and wrap carefully
8. Place the wraps on top of the base
9. Leave for about 30 minutes and add water if necessary
10. Let it cool then serve with pap or custard.[/b]
This meal is healthy for all groups of people!

No matter the recipe, I don't eat overripe plantain. It's either half ripe or unripe. I want to live long.

Photocopy can never be like original. Throw your over ripe plantain to someone from Ikire and watch keenly as he turns it a unique delicacy called DODO-IKIRE
