_{My food before preparations and cooking}

It has been long I cooked here, but when I was thinking about what to eat, this very food combination comes to my mind. So I decided to cook it on my own and share with my friends how I prepared my food combo. I know you will like to read the procedures, here is it with the spices.

• Ripe plantain
• Fresh paper
• Fresh tomatoes
• Pumpkin leaf
• Crayfish
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Periwinkles
• Palm oil
• Onions
• Carrots
• Salt
• Water
• Seasoning cubes

The first thing I did was to get those items in the market since I don't have them at home. So when I came back, I quickly rushed to the kitchen because it was getting dark. I washed my hands and put the ripe plantain in a clean bowl, added water to it and wash it clean. Then sliced it to my desired size. After that, I proceeded in preparing the other ingredients.

I still put another clean water in a bowl, put the carrots, garlic and ginger, Onions, fresh tomatoes and peppers, pumpkin leafs and wash them thoroughly up to 3 times. Done with the washing, I sliced the 🥕 carrots and rest of them. Then, is time to wash the periwinkles, I put it in small container bucket that has cover. Added water to it, covered it and shake it for like 5 times. I poured the first water away. I did like that up to five times to make Shure the periwinkles are properly washed. Now that the preparation is done, let's go to the next step, cooking.

_{Done with the preparations}

Oh!! I didn't remember to tell you that I grinded my crayfish with pepper, ginger and garlic together. So now, I put the periwinkles and those things I grinded together in a clean pot, added water and 1 seasoning cube to it with salt, on my gas and place it on fire. I allowed it to boil for a while, then, I put the sliced plantain. After boiling for 30 minutes, I added the palm oil with salt and covered the pot very well.

The pot is still boiling, so I open it to check if the plantain is done. Behold it is. I tasted it, and it was tasting nice. So, I now added the pumpkin leafs mixed it together with the plantain. After hitting for 5 minutes, I off the gas before adding the remaining vegetables.

At this point, the food is ready. As this becomes the last step. After adding the carrots, Onions and tomatoes, I mixed them together and dish out the food.

This combo is very sweet and nutritious because of the vegetables added to it. We all know that vegetables are source of minerals and water. Apart from that the periwinkles are blood builder. Combining all these things together in one pot will give you a delicious meal.
