Steemit Engagement Challenge S2W3 | Steem4Nigeria Contest: Prepare or Promote any Recipe that is Peculiar to your Country
Hello members of Steem 4 Nigeria. How are you all doing today?. It's a pleasure to take part in this week's steemit engagement challenge in this community. For the purpose of this week's challenge, I will be sharing one of the recipe that is peculiar in my country (Nigeria). This food recipe is called Boli (Roasted plantain).
Boli and Its Brief History
Roasted plantain is one of the native dish in Nigeria, and it is being called "Boli" in South West part of Nigeria. This food can be prepared with both ripe and unripe plantain. In the south west part of Nigeria this food is serves with groundnut where it was originated while in the south South Part of Nigeria, it is serve with roasted fish or fried fish .
The name Boli is a Yoruba language; since the name was originated, it has been the popular name for this delicacy through out Nigeria. This special delicacy became popular on the street. It is the most common food on the street sold by small scale traders. Although it can also be made at home and well serve to your taste.
Do you think you can do without taking Boli for some days?
No, I don't think so. I could only stayed for 2 weeks without taking Boli then because of the stress of going out to get some. I love home made foods, since I discovered another simple method of roasting plantain with a frying pan, I think I can only do without it for few days (2 to 4).
How to prepare Boli
Ingredients;
- Plantain
- Salt
- Pepper
- Onions
- Native nutmeg
- Palm oil
- Maggi
- Fish
- Spices
Like I said earlier that we have two methods of serving this delicacy. I will be sharing methods of preparation for the plantain, sauce and roasted fish. Let's see the steps below,
Step 1
Wash the plantain properly, peel off the coat, slit on each side and then sprinkle a little salt water on it.
Step 2
Set your charcoal grill in a metal stand and place the plantain on the grill rack
Step 3
Keep monitoring the plantain until it's done.
Preparation of Fish
Wash, cut your fish into pieces (your desired sizes), add spices to it and then place them on the grill rack.
How to make Pepper sauce
Steps

- Add your onions and pepper (Blended)
- Add salt and cubes to taste
- Add native nutmeg
- Let it boil until the water in it dries off
Note: The water used in blending the onions and fresh pepper needs to dry off.
Ready to be served
My Recommendation
Boli has some health benefits and it does not have any side effects; it can be eaten as breakfast, Lunch and also dinner. Boli is one food that hinders the damage of kidney and bladder because plantain has source of dietary fibre content and vitamin C . So therefore, I recommend this delicious delicacy to every steemian to give a try. Thank you!!!
I'm inviting @madilyn02 @reinamia @ijebest to participate in the challenge as well.
Grilled plantain is one of the most representative dishes of Nigerian cuisine.

Thank you for the support.
Plantain and red oil is really common amongst the Oroko people in my country. Here we just grill the Platains, warm red oil and put salts in it and that's all. It's really tasty though, we call it fofiyoh.
But this boli ehhh its like the android version of fofiyoh 😅😅😅😅
Nice to know that you have a brother to Boli called "fofiyoh"😄
Thank you friend for engaging 🤗
