Engagement Challenge: My Declaration of Unconventional Love by @afunkycares
Hello, friends . I bring you greetings from Nigeria. It's an opportunity to write in this beautiful community. Steemit engagement challenge is exposing us to several other communities, formerly unknown to me.
Apparently, it's my first time here. And I'm glad to share my first post being an entry for the contest: my declaration of unconventional love. You can find the link here.
For this contest, I will share my unconventional love for my Favourite Food. To find out why I love this meal, join me on the Love Ride ☺️.
MY FAVOURITE FOOD: BEANS & PLANTAIN
Oh my Beans and plantain, my most enjoyed dish. Savoury, delicious 😋 dish. How much I love you!
Beans and plantain is a very easy to prepare meal with little preparation. It is delicious and nutritious. Beans is a rich source of carbohydrates, protein, fiber , vitamins and mineral salts. Plantain is a good source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. It also contains vitamin A, vitamin C , vitamin B6 and mineral salts.
Combining both with other ingredients like palm oil, fish, crayfish , prawns etc makes a prefect balanced meal.☺️
THREE VARIANT OF MY FAVOURITE FOOD
I enjoy my favourite food in three different recipes. Still the same Beans and plantain, but in 3 different ways of preparing them.
The first is Beans & plantain (cooked together)
To see how I made this, you can click here
The sweetness of the two major ingredient releases into the food giving it a savoury taste.
The second way is Beans ( Jollof beans) & fried plantain

This tastes just as amazing.

Ewa Agoyin (mashed beans) with it's unique sauce is awesome. Served with fried plantain is just like heaven. Oh the taste of goodness!
MY LOVE FOR BEANS & PLANTAIN
Beans and plantain is a dish I can never resist. I can eat as many times as my stomach demands in a day. The sweet taste of plantain with the beans leave you salivating for more. Besides, it is quite filling.
I love beans & plantain ;
It tastes so delicious
It is easy to prepare
It is cost friendly, you can enjoy it on a low budget
It provides the body with lots of nutrients like proteins , carbohydrates, vitamins , mineral salts, fats and oils.
Plantain contains antioxidants that boosts the immune system
It supplies the body with fibre, which aids bowel movement.
CONCLUSION
My love for beans and plantain cannot be traded with any other meal. The taste is great and inviting. It is a complete diet rich in nutrients benefitting the body. I can eat it all day long . I enjoy all three recipes equally . The dish can be enjoyed with any drink of your choice. I enjoy taking it with a glass of juice/ chocolate drink.
Thank you for reading and visiting my blog ❤️.

Hello @afunkycares, what a funny unconventional declaration, I tell you that I also love fried plantains, when I was a child, my grandmother prepared fried plantains for me, it is something that I miss a lot nowadays.
Great post friend.
Oh friend, fried plantains are always sweet. Is plantain scarce in your location?
I can't part with beans & fried plantain wherever I stay.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hello @afunkycares, here in Venezuela there are many plantains plantations, we can get them anywhere and we can eat them all year round, they are delicious fried, roasted, baked, parboiled, there are even plantains snacks
Oh great.
