Steem Bangladesh Contest: Food | Preparing Plantains and Beans
Hello everyone, I'm here to share my entry on the contest. The food recipe I'll be sharing with you today is how I cook my beans. In most countries especially developed countries, they have their beans already boiled and canned. Here in my country Cameroon, we start boiling our beans from scratch. Boiling beans could take 30 minutes to 3 hour just to boil yo softness.
Nevertheless the cooking process is not too long. Could take and hour tops. So below I'll start with the presentation of ingredients.

We also have other spices like pepper, tropical spices, onion, garlics, vegetable oil and seasoning cubes.
Procedure
First you peel the Platains, cut them into desired halves and put them in a pot with water just above the level of plantains and set it on heat.
While you are done with that, you start grinding the pepper, onion, spices on the pepper stone.

Later put the tomato paste in a bowl, add some water and mix to make a solution.
Set a pot on fire, let it dry up then add vegetable oil in it and let it heat.
Then you add the the mixture of tomatoes paste in let let it fry up for some time. This make the tomato paste not to have a sour taste anymore.

Next thing is to add the boiled beans into the pot and mix up for some time. After a while add water to your satisfaction.
Then add seasoning cubes to taste, and the ground spices. When that is done, let the bean boil for some time till the water begins to thick and form soup.
Then add the groundnut oil and the crayfish lastly into the pot. Let it boil for sometime before putting off the fire.
By the end of the process the plantain should have been ready, so you can dish the food and enjoy.
