Directions

2. Peel the unripe plantain. Wash and cut into sizeable chunks into a pot
3. Add Seasoning cubes and salt to taste.
4. Add some water, just enough to cover the plantain. Cover the pot and put on fire
5. Allow it to cook for about 20 minutes, keep checking to see if the plantain is soft (do not stir).
6. Once plantain is soft, add dry fish, meat, crayfish and pepper then stir. Cover and allow it to cook again
7. Keep stirring until paste thickens
8. Add either vegetable or palm oil and stir again
9. Cover for about 5 minutes for the oil to mix well and then add the already cut scent leaves. Stir well and bring it down.

UKANG UKOM : Grab 7 every day ingredients and cook this amazing plantain dish . : : When plantain is boiled for a very long time I believe the carbohydrate structure changes and so the plantain does not harden even when cold and this is the beauty of this dish. Not to talk of the soft cow leg. You may wish to switch the cow leg for goat meat. : : @ Efik traditional marriages and others ceremonies are not complete without Ukang Ukom on the menu. But hey we can eat it anytime though . This is another option of a dish you can cook without adding oil and still enjoy. : : Enjoy your weekend. : : #calabarfood #efikfood #plantainlovers #plantain #nigerianfoodblogger #1qfoodplattervideos #1qfoodplatter #efiktraditionalmarriage #crossriverstate #crossriver
