My favourite meal is Beans & Plantain . And I have three recipes for enjoying this meal. Today, I will share one of them with you.

This particular recipe makes a very delicious dish. Cooking the very ripe plantain together with the beans releases a unique sweetness. It is also a completely healthy method: boiling. And highly nutritious. To achieve this sweetness is to use very ripe plantain.

This recipe is very simple and easy to make. The Preparation is also short and easy.

COOKING

Let's begin the cooking!

• To the parboiled beans, add the diced onions and set on heat.

• Leave to cook for about 10 minutes. Begin to break the plantain with a wooden spatula till it is mixed up with the already soft beans

• Next add the fish, crayfish, seasoning, palm oil and salt to taste. Mix together with a spatula.

• Cover and leave to cook for another 7-8 minutes. Turn again with a spatula. This is where you check and balance the taste. If need for salt, you add and leave to steam before removing from heat.
