U can also use plantain leaf

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!

Lol...although I didn't read the post, I will like to share my experience frying an over ripped plantain due to hunger cum recession. ..

I had this 5 fingers of plantain my bae left in my fridge after the usual Saturday visit. So within the the soup she made and the stew was feasted upon by my hungry men I call my friends..

By next Saturday it was me, myself and hunger..no bae ..no friend ..no money...I went to the fridge. .Alas !! 5 fingers of overtly ripped plantain. ..I said "ah Egede na plantain ...and plantain na for chop.."

I hurriedly ran to the mallam's shop.. took two fresh eggs and went back to the house. I peeled the plantain..it was way too soft...I sha managed and to peel it, sliced it and began to fry them.

The plantain wasn't frying the usual way and I was hungry. ..I fried it that way, fried my eggs made my oat.

The plantain tasted like plantain chips ...that very type the sell as if u are diverting to VI from CMS

After eating it. ..I shouted oh ooo! So they make those plantain chips from over riped plantain. ...it was a learning point for me...

Re: What To Do With Your Overripe Plantain by mu2sa2: 12:42pm On Dec 11, 2016
Today I will tell you one "secret" about plantain: plantain can still be fried perfectly well even if it is over-riped. All you need to do when plantain is over-riped is cut it into the shape you desire , sprinkle salt on it and fry. The plantain will fry well. Without a sprinkle of salt the over-ripe plantain will be too soft and will just soak oil if you try to fry it.

Phi001:

You don't have to, especially if you don't like it to taste salty. On the other hand, the reason for sprinkling salt when it is over- riped is that the salt hardens the soft plantain while frying and it won't taste too salty.
