matoke recipes (matoke as main ingredient) and plantain recipes, cooked bananas
These were not easy to select, I was very picky about what I posted this year. I’ve been deliberate on making sure each post was worth your time and tastebuds! If you’ve been looking through the site and wondering what to make first, this post is for you, definitely start here.
The sweet+sour+chilli combo is well loved, so why not with plantain? They are already sweet, so just add a bit of sour and chill and you’ve got dynamite bites!
Here are two more ideas for the plantain lover! These require a little more work because of the size but still worth it I think…
Hello! 🙂
Yes, I’m still around. August has been a quiet month for me. Oh I’m still cooking, experimenting and so on, just haven’t been online very much. It has been quite nice actually. Sometimes there’s just too much to see, and the more you consume, the more you want and before you know it your head is so full of clutter and you just can’t think. So I guess you could say I’ve been clearing my head. How has your August been?
This started out really awkward but ended well. I know it looks funny, especially the mash, the photo just doesn’t do it justice,…
What do you do with your matoke when you forget about it and it’s start ripening? Well, I fried and baked mine, see how it turned out…
Yes! They were there so why not? It does sound strange though.
It’s matoke time again! I could eat matoke almost every day. But not hubby. So I try to space out the matoke dishes, although I think I waited too long this time.
It’s always nice to have a dinner that comes together quickly. It will be even faster if you marinate the lamb in the morning and leave it in the fridge for the evening
You can’t go wrong with matoke but these ribbon veggies added something special. They look good and taste so delicious!
Matoke does not have to be boring and it it doesn’t have to be cooked alone, it plays very nice with a few roots mixed in. Try this mix and add some flavour to your matoke night days.
