PROCEDURE

I always start by cooking my beans because beans take a long time to be prepared. First of all I pour my beans into a clean bowl. Remove all the unwanted things from the beans.some of the beans we buy contains a lot of particles in them. After removing them, I put water in a cleans silver and put the salt Peter into it.i usually soak my salt peter in a bottle with water. So I just add small to it. Adding salt peter always makes the beans cook faster. That’s why it is added. I add the beans to the water . This will take a long time. So I cover it half way to prevent it from pouring away.

I then peel my plantain and cut it into small pieces. After cutting it into smaller pieces, I put water in a bowl and add salt into the water. I make sure the water is not too salty. I put my plantain into the water. I place a silver in fire to fry my plantain.I don’t have a big frying pan , so to make things fast I normally use the silver instead of my small frying pan. Using a small frying pan will take much of your time when frying.

When the oil is on fire, I drop one plantain to see if is hot. When the oil is not too hot, I wait till the oil is very hot. I put the plantain one after the other in the oil. This is very dangerous, so I don’t throw the plantain into the oil instead I drop it gently into the oil.

Throwing the plantain into oil can harm you since the oil can spill on my skin.After putting everything into the oil I wait till it becomes red. When it becomes red. I remove it from the oil and place it in a nice bowl.I repeat this method until all the raw plantain becomes fried.

I check my beans and when is soft, I continue with my cooking but when is still hard I add water to it and wait. When it finally becomes cook, I take a clean silver, pour moderate amount of the palm oil into it. I wait till the oil becomes hot . I cut my onions into small pieces and add it to the oil. When the onions turn brown , i add my cooked beans into it. I add my maggi and put small amount of salt into it. I stir the mixture together. I taste it to see if the salt in it is moderate. When is not tasty, I add small amount of salt to the beans. When is moderate, I leave it on fire for awhile and finally turn off the fire.

I serve my plantain with the beans.I like eating this meal with fish. But today I didn’t get fish to buy.
