Groundnutdodo

Hello people, how's your week going? mine is going great even though i have been extremely busy, it's been for a good cause. I am giving you another plantain recipe today. I was trying out a recipe that was inspired by Ewaoluwa a cands member who posted a recipe on Peanut rice. I had surplus groundnut from it so i came up with this recipe.

Back to Groundnut dodo, It is a combination of plantain, GROUNDNUT (I had to write that in caps..lol) and spices. It is yummy, moist delicious goodness, i present to you another K's Cuisine original. If you are a lover of groundnut and plantain, you will definitely love this.

So i was thinking what to name this recipe but i drew a blank so people what would you call this? If i like any of your suggestions will rename the recipe but for now let's get cooking:

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Total time: 15 minutes

Meal type: Appetiser, main, snacks

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe plantain

20g groundnut

1 teaspoon ground pepper

¼ teaspoon ginger (Optional)

Sunflower oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

1) In a pan, dry roast the groundnut.

2) Peel and grind the roasted groundnut in a mill

3) Peel plantain and cut into small cubes then mash with spoon or hand.

4) Add in the groundnut, pepper and ginger. Mix together.

5) In a frying pan, heat oil and scoop the plantain in balls. Fry till golden brown.

6) When golden brown, put on kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

7) For a clean round shape, mold plantain into shape with your palm. Groundnut dodo is ready.

The aroma is amazing, the taste is superb and best of all it is easy peasy to make!

For a healthier Version, grill in oven instead of frying. That's Boli and Epa gone la creme!

NOTES

To grill, mold into balls, place in oven and grill till golden brown. This version is best for fitfam

I used well ripened plantain but not over ripe.

You can store ground groundnut in a tight contain for use another time

Will post recipe for Groundnut rice and other things i've done with groundnut in the next coming days.
