It feels really good to try out another interesting recipe. I already planed that I'll be trying out mew meals I didn't know how to cook so as to master the art of cooking different meals especially those of other culture that I didn't know.
So today I present this one that I just tried out, and you'll get to see how it turned out.
It is a green mini banana meal called OTO MBORO, it is the traditional food of the Akwaibom tribe, and that's Efik language. I'm not from that tribe but I just want to try making their food.
So I'll be sharing the steps I took in making this meal. First, below are the ingredients I used:
- Two bunch of green mini plantain
- Crayfish
- Fresh pepper
- 1 cup of Periwinkle
- Two small balls of Onions
- Dry fish
- 1/4 litre of palm oil
- Ginger/garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Scent leave
Preparation
- First I peel and grate the banana
- Next i wash the periwinkles and keep them ready
- Then I slice the onions, grate the paper, the crayfish with the dry fish together. I also sliced the scent leave
- I put water in a pot to heat
- Next I add the periwinkles to it and put some salt to taste
- After that, I add the pepper, onions, crayfish with fish
- Then the garlic/ginger powder
- Also include the oil and allow them to boil
- After stirring and letting it boil well, It is time to put the grated bananas
- Stir the ingredients together and cover it well. And wait for it to be done.
It took about 10 minutes for it to be done, the water was dried and it looked much like porridge
- Next the scent leave I sliced and added it to the pot, cover a little and then it was ready!
It's best to served hot so I dish it in my plate to take the picture for this post. I then served the rest to my family. Below is how it turned out:
I was happy to have tried this meal, it felt food to also share it to everyone and see that they loved it. I know a native of akwaibom will definitely cook this meal better.
Subsequently I'll be trying new meals from different tribes, even outside the country. See you again soon 🤗
