Nigerian Unripe plantain porridge is the best for those trying to reduce sugar consumption and it’s very healthy for everyone. Some people can’t eat unripe plantain cos it’s not sugary but Healthwise it is what our bodies need.
If prepared with the right ingredients, it is very tasty and if we can eat yam and irish potatoes then eating unripe plantain shouldn’t be a problem.
It can be mashed and served to
babies being introduced to solid foods.
Ingredients:
5 cups peeled and chopped unripe plantain pieces
1kg dried bush meat
2 medium sized dried cat fish
5 cups of water to start with, you can add more while cooking and stirring
Salt to taste
2 knorr cubes
1/2 cup palm oil
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup locust beans (Dadawa)
I added vegetables to the plantain porridge recipes published before but didn’t add to this.
This meal, when cooked with goat meat gives a very yummy aroma.
Adding scent leaves makes it best for women who have just given birth as they eat and drink the porridge sauce.
A little uziza seeds too can make a great difference and for those who like locust beans, just add a little and enjoy the rich taste with a difference.
Plantain porridge tastes better when cooked till soft and a bit thick.
I do not add crayfish to plantain porridge and there is no reason for that.
For those who like their plantain fairly ripe, you may not enjoy the porridge like when you cook with very green unripe ones. The sizes can be chopped smaller or longer than mine depending on how you like yours.
I enjoy plantain porridge cooked with ‘tiny fingers’ plantain better than ‘large fingers’. I think the latter is
better with Dodo.
I love cooking this with dry catfish but managed with croaker since there was not catfish at home. Catfish gives it an excellent taste. The bush meat used here is a porcupine. It is my favourite.

Nice one Eya, keep it going…..
Coincidentally I jst made dis 4 dinner bt wit diced turkey n shrimps. Really healthy. Nice one Eya.
I love this, but porcupine? Nah
Couldn't help but lol at your comment. Wait till you see some of the rats in companies (mostly oil) where one is not allowed to kill them, you will not know the difference
Leave the canned tomatoes for once and try cooking with fresh tomatoes that are blended and then boiled till dryor boiled before blending . you'll get a better taste.
Stew tastes better when cooked in smaller quantities cos the tomatoes and onion gets to fry well.
Thanks
Thank you Tess, it was truly yummy.

Hi Chubby ELLA, I will try you recipe next time, sounds good. Did you use fresh or dry shrimps?
Hahaha Precious, not many people like Bush Meat sha. Cook with Goat meat and dry catfish. Porcupine is actually one of the most tasteful when you talk about bush meat.
Thank you.
