Happy Sunday Hiveans! I hope you're enjoying your weekend....
Roasted Plantain, also known as Boli, is a popular 'roadside' snack in Nigeria. This local delicacy is mostly consumed by the Yoruba(s) the southern part of Nigeria.
I'm sure a lot of people especially Nigerians find it difficult to make Boli (roasted plantain) at home because they believe they can't roast it without hot coals, but today I'll tell you a secret: you can actually make a Boli (roasted plantain) with just a Fry pan and some Kitchen foil.
Ingredients
Plantain (Fairy Ripe)
Kitchen Foil
Palm Oil and Salt
You can see the ingredients isn't much, now let proceed to the steps.
Step 1: To begin, peel your Plantain with a knife, then sear or cut incisions with your knife.
Step 2: Rub the palm oil and salt on the peeled Plantain allow the palm oil and salt to soak into it before wrapping it in foil.
Step 3: Place a fry pan on a low medium heat, then place the wrapped plantain on the fry pan and cover it. Check it periodically to see when it's brown and to avoid burnt.
Bring out and serve with smoked salmon or hot sauce. If you still want it to cook a little longer after removing the foil (probably because some some part aren't brown), place foil in the fry pan, place the side of the plantain that needs to cook longer on the foil, and cover with a lid. Repeat until all sides are brown or to your liking.
