Hello there, i decided today to feature one of the recipes we will be making at the cookery club tomorrow using black spotted plantain. Please check earlier post to read up on the benefits of eating Plantain, both ripe,unripe and black spotted.
To make 20 balls, you'll need;
3 large plantain with black skin.
3 teaspoons crushed cayenne pepper.
salt to taste
oil, for deep-fat frying (a mixture of 1/3 palm oil and 2/3 vegetable oil) or you might just decide to use vegetable oil alone like i did in the picture above.
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the oil until hot but not smoking (about 350ºF).
2. Cut the plantains into coarse dice.
3. Mix in the cayenne and salt and form into small balls.
4. Flatten the balls slightly or roll them in a ball and place them in the hot oil.
5. Lower the heat slightly and cook the plantain balls until they are browned.
6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve warm.
