In a Hurry Meal, Dodo

Dodo (Fried Plantain)

In hurry to get to work? No worries, here's a quick and easy meal to prepare. You only need 15 minutes to prepare this meal.  Amongst Nigerian and most African descendent countries, it is better known as Dodo, but its common name is fried plantain.

 

Ingredients:

• Ripe plantain
• 1 litre Vegetable Oil
• Salt

Method:

• Put a frying pan on the cooker and pour in 50ml oil (or just enough to shallow fry) or you can use a deep frying machine to fry it.
• Peel the Plantain and cut into oval shape as you can see in the picture
• Sprinkle the salt as required on the plantain, mixed together to absorb it.
• When the oil is hot, carefully, pour the plantain in the hot oil, and fry deep
• Check it regularly and change the sides.
• When it is golden brown, use a fork to pick it out of the oil onto a clean plate.
• Serve with stew or  fried egg or anything of our choice e.g. Jollof rice, stick meat, fried fish, fish stew, egusi soup, beans, chicken stew etc.

    Happy Cooking :)
